Oakland Raiders Sign Jeff George
I know George wasn't picked up to be the starter; he's an insurance guy. After all, we are oh so blessed to have Aaron Brooks, a quarterback who may peak before the pre-season is over, and Andrew Walter, who will wait in the wings until he's unceremoniously cut the way Marques Tuiasosopo is about to be. But with this signing, the state of the Raiders went from depressing to completely surreal. Interested in keeping his own job, Art Shell backed the move, stating "I've always been intrigued by the guy... "He still has that zip, he still has that quick release and was very impressive." In a way, I agree with him. It's damn near impossible not to be intrigued when the original million dollar arm/10-cent head comes to town. And if you listen to George, he's all-world and always has been, so it's only a matter of time before he goes unnecessarily diva and starts butting heads."I've always been able to throw the ball, I've been blessed to throw the ball. And I think I'll be able to do that till I'm 60," George said. "Football's football, plays are the same, terminology's a little bit different..." Yeah, Jeff. And you're still the same collossal dick. I cannot understand how Al Davis expects us to believe that this is the best insurance policy in the whole of the quarterbacking world. There isn't someone in the whole quarterbacking world whose most recent achievement is better than coaching the run-and-shoot offense of his fourth grade son's team? Or, at the very least, a guy not championed by Jason Whitlock? I know Al is all about giving Raiders another chance but goddamn. If we're going to sign some old balls quarterback, put a neck brace on Rich Gannon and see what he can do. Or better yet, drop a couple million to bring Flutie Magic to the Bay. You know that'd raise our potential for wins from 2 to 4. What's that you say? Even a guy from Backup College has his standards? Yeah... maybe you're right.

This is certifiable proof that Al Davis is crazy.
By the way, that graphic is a riot!

Hadrian, as a fellow Bills fan, I think we are in the same boat with the losman/holcomb duo...if not worse

No way. At least with Losman there is potential. In 5 years the oakland qbs will just be that much worse. No talent and no potential is worse off than the Bills. And you know al davis will be stubborn too, and won't allow a qb to be drafted early next year after passing this year. Our bills are screwed, sure, but not as bad as oakland.

Yeah, I have to agree with Geiger on this. Losman's still young and for all we know, it could finally click with him this season and everything will start falling into place. But we've already seen what Brooks & Co can do... nothing is gonna click and fall into place in the Bay this year (or ever). Brooks has gotten statistically worse every year he's been in the league and he's backed up by a 3rd year rookie and an old man. They're considerably worse off than we are.
