Is it safe to say the Raiders 2011 draft was a bust since they have released the 3rd and 4th round draft picks from that year?

Probably not. The 4th round guy is on the practice squad. Not great, but not a total loss so far. The other 6 picks are on the 53. You might want to wait another year or two before you declare the entire draft a bust.

Even if Mathews week 1, which is most likely, Charger fans have to like the fact that Ryan is chomping at the bit to play.
Contrast that with Fraiders WR Jacoby Ford, out all summer with a mysterious foot injury, who is totally lackadaisical about when he will play again.

Ford hasn’t looked good, but it’s a bit of a stretch to say he’s been out all summer with a mysterious foot injury. He was injured during the preseason game against the Cardinals, which was on August 17th. It’s the same spot on the same foot he injured last season during the first Charger game. It’s a foot sprain, not a phantom, unknown injury.

I agree with you about ford i am raiders fan and not exactly excited about his attitude as of late. I believe him and cambell were close and when they let him go for palmer it affected his mind set. I expect that if he doesnt fix his chemistry with palmer he will be looking for work before too long.

There’s nothing worse than having to hear that it was injuries that caused the Blots week 1 loss (again) to the hapless Raiders. Two names to remember people; Shaughnessy and Houston……preceded by the words; “Rivers sacked again by”…

Your wishing injury on players, above, is not representative of the sporting tradition of the city or Canada. We don’t want to be associated with your opinions. How about “JoeJoke” ? “JoeJerk”? “JoeJobless” ?

Fraiders fans I know are questioning Ford’s courage and commitment.

I’m glad Ryan Mathews is on my team. I expect big things from him this season.

But it wasn’t Ryan Matthews.

It was Ryan Leaf.

The dude is like Bob Sanders and gets hurt just by lacing up his cleats.

We know “Joe”. We know.

I guarantee you won’t see JoeToronto till December 25th when he will claim they will beat San Diego again.

It would be nice to crack his skull and give him a real injury, for a change.

What a bust.
