Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell's Starting Job His To Lose?

Raiders sources say that the Eagles contacted the Raiders about a Donovan McNabb trade and that is how discussions were generated, and the Raiders thought they had McNabb before he slipped through to Washington. Now the Raiders appear settled on at least one more season of JaMarcus Russell at quarterback, one more year with more emphasis on a sink-or-swim, get-it-done-or-bite-the-bullet approach with Russell. Russell is considered in Oakland the primary issue, a talented quarterback who for whatever reasons has not connected with his coaches and teammates and has shut it down when troubled. A Raiders executive, requesting anonymity, said: "There has been such a lack of confidence in this team as a whole. The intangibles need to be rebuilt. It's awful. The great teams go out there and know they will win; the good teams think they can, the average teams hope they can and the bottom ones hope they don't lose too badly. I don't think it's bottom now for us. But we have to develop an attitude, a belief as a team and organization of winning thinking and preparation. That has to come from JaMarcus and from his position. It's his job to lose. He is aware of that.''

1. The Oakland Raiders are currently doing Horrible in Ticket sales.. LiTERALLY (Not due to the Economy/RAiDER NATiON is sick & tired of JaWalrus)
2. Al Davis (Personally) Met with Tim Tebow
3. Raider scouts were at Jimmy Clausen's Pro Day

If you ask me, This report is BLOWN SMOKE! ;) Al Davis knows that he can't risk another year with JaMarcus Russell or he'll lose his FanBase this season. Cut JaMarcus Russell, Select a New Franchise Quaterback - and people will renew their Season tickets. Simple as that -

The starting job is Russell's to lose huh? Him losing that job shouldn't be that hard.

Put down the crack pipe dude...Raiders have been doing horrible as you put it since they've been back in Oaktown and ticket sales won't be better with a new QB, they will start moving up with the death of Al Davis and the team winning. And it's not THAT simple. The fan base isn't just sick and tired of JaMarcus they are sick and tired of the fucked up choices that Davis makes in the draft and the moves he makes with his coaches.
