 Oakland Raiders
About the worst thing you can say for the Oakland Raiders’ moves in 2009 is: Why didn’t they do this stuff last year? Seriously, would even the biggest Raider fan have imagined in December that come spring, we’d be reading report cards that look like the following? Offense: added Khalif Barnes, Jeff Garcia; presumably address needs at WR and...
What's the buzz about?

Also on offense is Satele/center. With the draft looming I would like a couple of things, with our first four picks take two defensive players and two offensive players. DT/WR/S/OT in this order. Call Roy Williams ex-cowboy and see if he still has game, Tank Johnson should also get a call. I also forgot to trade Fargas and get a pick so we can draft another OLB.

You're so right, Mr. Davis. I think Al Davis has finally found the right man to Coach his team. Tom Cable has been an eager and thoughtful partner. He's a voice of reason, and certainty of goals. That has to be a comfort to the Raiders' aging owner. Mostly, Tom Cable has been right on target about the teams' players, problems, and needs. He's a smart, decisive, and courageous leader. Mr. Davis, you ask why the surprising sanity? It comes from a new atmosphere in Oakland. Harmony has been restored. The owner trusts his coach. The coach adores the owner. They see things the same way. They approach problems as partners. They have the same agenda. From all of this, the Oakland Raiders are benefitting! I read a mock draft earlier today, where the author described the Raiders, as a "dysfunctional" organization, with no reason or direction. I thought, "this guy has no clue about what's going on, with this team, right now! He's completely ignorant. He's relying on what's been said, in past years." Adding Jeff Garcia is just another step, Al & Tom have taken, to right the Raiders' ship. Mr. Davis, thank you for recognizing the progress that's occurring here, in Oakland. It's just "Crazy Al" & "The Only Coach Who'd want the Job"! They are doing it, and doing it right, together! Have Faith, Raider Nation!

Does anyone know if the Garcia’s addition will place competition at the QB position? I think he has a very good chance to start week 1 because of his work ethics and above average knowledge of leading a team and veteran experience. Garcia is the type that will question players about there professionalism, he will call them out. He is the type to say ”man take your playbook home” Garcia is a way better QB than Russell is right now so it will be interesting what will happen. Do we put in place the QB that gives us a better chance to win or continue to play into Russell’s franchise contract? Even if it’s reconstructed.
