Yet in two games since becoming the starter, the nomadic quarterback has done just that.

it would be typically raiders if Mirer finally proves himself to be the number 2 pick he was all those years ago....i'm liking him

I'm not ready to annoint him to the Hall of Fame, but right now he's our best QB. Take that for what it's worth, but he's played one game with more heart than most of our offense has displayed in 9-10 games.

and big part of the success has been NOT running garner, but running WOO WOO WOO WOO WOO WHEATLEY!

[mattparry]

we all knew we needed to run hard (which is Wheatley) but until our 2 main qbs were injured Callaghan refused to do it.

We still have a good team, i can't wait to see what a decent coach can do with it (Green would be nice - with Keyshawn and a few other top free agents brought in)
