Tom Cable Says Raiders A Playoff Team Without JaMarcus Russell

Asked whether the Raiders would be playoff-bound if they had received an average or better performance from quarterback JaMarcus Russell, head coach Tom Cable quietly and succinctly made the strongest statement of the afternoon: "Without even asking that question, you know that we would have." He balanced his remarks by calling Russell "a really, really classy kid" and pointing out that Vince Young, the first quarterback drafted in the year before the Raiders took Russell, had lost his job, sat out roughly a year and returned as a new man. But the message wasn't muddled at all: Cable could not win consistently and nurture Russell at the same time and to prove what he and this Raiders team can do together, he'd rather trust a third-string quarterback.

I didn't think you could actually stuff Russell's big ass under a bus like that but Cable did pretty good job.

That's true, though they did go 2-2 with Gradkowski, imagine if he had been playing from the get go.......maybe they'd be 7-8?

I think it does make a big difference when you go from having your QB completing only 35% of his passes, to somewhere around 60%
