But I do remember they had a fair share of class veterans, such as Jerry Rice, Tim brown, and Rod wodson. To be fair no neutrals would shed a tear other their misfortunes, in Americas game we found out one of their slogans was cheating is encouraged. Also, what about that corner back who had pardon my spelling sickem to help him catch the ball better.

Why not bring back John Madden now that he no longer has broadcasting commitments lol. You have had great Quarterbacks like rich gannon but no one else has come on. Aaron Brookes look good at new orleans he was terrible for you. Do you have Garcia I think he would be a good choice for next 2 seasons gently blood in Jamarcus Russell like packers did with Aaron Rodgers what is your opinion

The guy who used 'stickem' on his gloves was hall of fame receiver Fred Biletnikoff,who ironically was the Raiders receiver coach until 18 months ago before he retired[/align

Fred Biletnikoff may well have done but there was definitely a corner back who also used them he had a terrible stammer, He put on the ball once so the centre for the opposition(houston oilers) could not realease the ball as well as he would have liked from the snap.



][align=left]Historically The Raiders have never had any luck with QBs drafted in the first round,the last one was Todd Marinovich,who was last heard of serving time for drug dealing The Raiders released Jeff Garcia just before the season started,he was picked up by the Eagles when Donovan McNabb got injured,but he was released today by them,so i wouldn't be surprised if we picked him back up and played him sunday (fingers crossed) but i can't see JaMarcus being benched,they have way too much money tied up in him and this is his third year,if he's not ready now he never will be.

They have guaranteed money to fall back on if they are released but he would not be the first number one pick to be a flop would he? Tim Crouch at Cleveland was number one pick in 2001 retired unemployed about 4 years ago. Steve young was back up to Joe Montana for a number of years before got first real chance and when he did he had the advantage of leading an already winning team. JaMarcus Russell is in unfortunate position of coming into a losing organisation where morale and confidence is poor so he could be destroyed mentally by the time the season is out combined with the star running back not being the player he was tipped to be is really giving him all sorts of problems only a real veteran could handle.

As for coaches,most coaches won't work with Al Davis.Sean Payton,Ken Whisenhunt,Bobby Petrino,Scott Linehan and Mike Martz have all turned down the job in recent years.

It is amazing how quickly things can change in the NFL. before last season Jason Garrett was tipped to be the next great head coach and was beating off suitors with a stick in order to stay at Dallas as an offensive coordinator. At the end of last season everyone was saying how lucky he was to still have a job. Wade Phillips is highly liked and respected so I think baring disaster he should still be with us next season.
