You folks are ruthless.

Brooks seems like a good guy. I think he's outplayed Walter, and he really never had a chance here with our lousy O line. But lets be honest, this was a failed experiment from the get go. I said it at the beginning of our season, if any other team in the league had signed Brooks as a starter, I would have lughed my ass off!
The Raiders did and I had to bite my tongue.

It's been a horrible year. If we go in to next season with both Brooks and Jordan as starters, I will truly feel this organization has lost all touch with reality.

Like Brooks said:

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

He is proven all right, proving what many of us thought of him over the summer and prior to coming to Oakland to be accurate.

then i believe we would be a better football team with a steve young or rich gannon type player. so far brooks and walter have played about the same as many games and it is obvious that brooks has the better skills to run this offense right now. if brooks screws it up everytime then what do we call the debacle of play walter showed us in his handful of starts? granted the kid is a rookie but learning how to be mobile under pressure rarely can be taught its all instincts.

Do you want to swop our top 5 pick for Schaub buddy?
If you do then your man-love for Schaub goes deeper than I expected.

Can everyone forget about Matt Schaub. He's a friggin' RESTRICTED free agent. If the Falcons give him the first round tender, which they will, we will need to pay big for him.

He cannot just be signed like any other free agent Rizzock. Get it into your skull.

Anyone actually realize that Brooks doesnt have 6 TDs and 3 INTs?!!! its the other way around! he has 3 TDs and 6 INTs.

I truly hope both Brooks and Shell arent here next year but we all know the 2 year rule and This might just leave Brooks out in the cold.

Man the hell with that 2 year rule, Bugel was gone after one season and i hope Shell is gone after this season as well. What's the matter with Shell not playing Walter anymore. He is supposed to be the future QB and he's holding the freaking clipboard, Fuk Shell serious **** your grudges on guys that talk smack on your good old buddy are not good for the team.

Too right.
Al Davis realised that Bugel wasn't the right man and brought in Jon Gruden.
Let lightning strike twice.

Bring us a youngster with the fire and intelligence to bring this team back to respectability and then onto glory.

Our whole offensive unit needs to work for us to win. It has been pointed out that even with Peyton behind this line the raiders would not win games and I am a strong believer in that. I've seen Brooks complete some very nice passes. Sure, he is INT prone, but at this point in time he is trying to save his life from the extremely horrible o-line but watching walter and brooks, I just can't seem to fathom Walter as our QB behind the O-line. Once the O-line improves I'll be all up for Walter to sit in the pocket and throw. I just hope Kerry Collins is not in Walter's DNA make up, cuz thats how he looked before Brooks came.

He only has 3 INT's and 6TD'S (from what I read)
You read it backwards dude, after the Rams game he now has 3 TD's and 7 Pics. Anyway you read it he sucks, quit falling asleep during the games. Of course with Brooks at Qb it is understandable.
