Brooks to start Week 11 - Page 2 - Oakland Raiders Forum | Message Board

I would like to see AW get as much NFL exp. as possible - especially since the team is out of the playoff picture.

On the other hand, until the offensive system is changed or at least updated and expanded, AW's growth is being drastically stunted IMO.

I'll root for AB, but I don't see how this helps the team unless they believe that AB is the future.....which I don't think anyone does.

How nice and wonderful it is whne your team is winning and contending for a championship leading the league in a number of categories.

What a sad state of affairs it is when the situation is completely reversed.

We are leading the league in a number of categories and they are dubious at best.

In the past 3 1/1 seasons, no team has lost more games than the Raiders. This year's bunch has the lowest rated quarterback, league leading sacks allowed, last rated offense and last or near last in most offensive categories.

Starting today is a cast off quarterback whose career statistics are average at best, has a propensity for turnovers, has poor leadership abilities and has not won in the NFL on a consistent basis.

The so called quarterback of the future has been benched and is now in the dog house for speaking out against King Shell. What that will do to his psyche and what effect it will have on the rest of the team remains to be seen.

So why all the anger and frustration from fans you ask?

Gosh, I don't know. It seems we are headed in the right direction don't you think?

I mean, why not just smile and say, yes I'm a Raider fan til I die?

Because, as fans, we have the right to say, BS and enough is enough. We will not take it and stand by and let the status quo be the norm.

We will not stand for mediocrity and want true, real and competant leadership.

Bring in real coaches that can educate, teach, mentor and coach!

Bring in quality players and not cast off bums.

Who the heck is excited about today's game with Aaron Brooks at the helm. I'm not. I'm embarrassed. Worst team with a bad quarterback.

Ya know whose laughing? Saints fans.

We, the Oakland Raider fans are being laughed at by Saints fans.

My gosh. How low can you go.

Its definitely a different look and, hopefully, Brooks won't get killed, but the long term advantages are questioable at best.

Maybe Moss should catch the ball instead!
