Contract looms as factor in Brooks' Raiders future

[The Shocker]

Matt shaub will be the next raider

If Brooks is not the freaking future then Play Walter. This guy(Walter) cannot be judged with this awful O-Line of the Raiders. The raiders passed on leinart and Cutler this past draft and are not looking good at the Qb position.

This thread has no validity. Are you serioud with this mobile qb stuff. Not everyone is Steve Young or Rich Gannon and sometimes Elway. There isn't that many succesfull mobile QB's outside of these guys. And I'm not talking about a QB that can side step a rush or shake a blitzer. I'm talking about true mobile QB like three mentioned above. After them there ain't ****. What Vick (horrible), Plummer (Awful). People need to relax with this mobile QB stuff. Yea it helps but how many times has Manning needed to use it or Brady or Montana. Walter can be a pure pocket passer with efficiency and success, because that is what he does, and yes he does need protection. How many of you guys were ready to give up on Aso after his first couple of years? He wasn't really doing ****, except for a hard hit here and there. THis is the same thing with Walter, he hasn't had a chance. Brooks has had plenty and he screws it up everytime. Walter needs game experience and he will get the bad with the good every young QB does. But don't just say all of a sudden a mobile QB is the answer to all our worries, look how far it has gotten Brooks.

I'd welcome Plummer here. He is gritty and mobile. He could come here cheap.

Any QB in Art Shell's system will have find ways to make things happen when the game plan or play call isn't working.

Give me a break but Art Shell doesn't make the decisions; Al Davis does; he always has and always will;

Brooks is done for sure. Moss for Matt Schuab.

[ice4444]

Plummer is so gritty that he's been benched by Denver; Plummer is terrible.

No way are we starting Walter next year. Unless of course if you want another long ass season of losing at the expense of "watching Walter grow".

I like Brooks as a player. He should return next year and give it one more try.

Shell is not a smart coach. Apparently he is not a smart man period.

"I'm a proven veteran,'' Brooks said. ``I don't have anything to prove to anyone out there who feels otherwise...''

That's what eats at me. Take Gannon and all the greats...they felt they had something to prove every week. Someone needs to tell Brooks your only as good as your last game.
