He says we get Palamalu and then, Dave Ragone? What is he high on? Why the hell does every goddamn mock drafter think the Raiders need a QB? Tui, while I admit there isn't much anything knows for sure about him, he will probably be a good heir to Rich Gannon. With the QB class having so many questions, why bother in the first place? Chris Simms-Cant win a big game
Leftwich- injured
and so on... We need Palamula or Kelsay, not Dave Ragone.
Anyone who has read the Tui/Gannon threads, knows I am a very big Gannon supporter. However, I got to back up Tui here. I'm completely fine with him being the heir to Gannon's position. He's just as qualified as those rookies to be our next gun.

I guess one of the biggest knocks (at least I hear) on Tui is that he was Gruden's guy. Well, what exactly was Gannon? Wasn't he handpicked by Gruden, too?

My point being that I don't think just because Gruden liked Tui a lot, that that should play much, actually any, factor in assessing our future QB.
