Bull****! He's ready. we've had him for nearly 2 months now. if a qb can't get ready in 2 months than he's gonna turn out like Akili Smith! Put him in and let him spark us.

Well ain't that the truth, ya gotta know the players hate it even more than the fans. I agree w/ porter that putting JR in too early would be a disaster. As much as it hurts to see them loose i would much rather see mc CLOWN or culPOOPER play on sundays this season than JR>

Yes it did, when everyone wanted Collins behind center in 04.

I disagree, behind that O-Line he's going to get killed. The line doesn't give the QB enough time to throw downfield and that's one of Russell's strenghts.

But really, Porter and the Raiders should give the fans something to cheer about.

On the flip side, its not like the players and the Raiders are not trying.

Is it ok to boo? its every persons choice. jmho

Of course it is every person's choice, BUT:

Not every right you have is worth exercising, especially when it is contraproductive to do so.

Fans want the team to get better (at least I hope so...) If this is the case, boing is just like a false start penalty on 3rd and short: It is shooting yourself in the foot.

Lets go to the root. Break it down. Penalties. We get our share right? The root is,WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MOVE THE CHAINS WHEN WE GET PENALIZED. Especially when we get flagged multiple times in a series. Coaches merry go round. Ryan is still here. Same problems,hmmmmmm...And so is al. Maybe people are going to games because they shelled out 5 years of OT for seasons tickets. Something those of you asking why they bother to go if their going to jeer obviously didn't pony up for or you wouldn't have made that dumb ass remark. Pacifist. All you siding with potty are too predictable. From a player that wears a FU shirt to practice. Has intermitent alligator arms. Is as fast as our rookie D-lineman. And helped humiliate shell, one of the greatest raider players. Did you ever stop to think, 32teams. Where have we finished over the last ten years? 10 YEARS. TAKE AN AVERAGE. THAT IS OK WITH YOU? YOU SHOULD BE 49ER FANS.

If only the fans were more supportive the on field product would be different.

How about giving the fans something to cheer about Jerry? How many times in the last few years have Raiders fans left McAfee happy?

You think Jerry is the only one that's had enough? You think this ISN'T effecting the play on the field? You think you can boo your own team to vicories? Why in the hell would someone go to a game and boo THE HOME TEAM? The other team must just sit and laugh thier asses off at your dumb asses. Absolute morons that's all no words can discribe that situation unbelievable absolutely crazy, it what way exactly does booing reflect positive or not turn the players on the very fans watching them?
WOW there are WAY TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS THIS YEAR !! Booing your own team? what?
