The Vikes have a good team up there. Fvare is a short-term position filler no matter how else you look at it. If the Vikes want to build for the future, they may want to move on from Favre. Tough call. The Raiders are in a rut. No doubt about it. Russell's problems with the Raiders started from the get-go. Russell never seemed ot have his head in the game, or his spirit with the team. He comes off as self-indulgent and apathetic. And that doesn't even address his skill set. There are too many intangibles for any coach to fix. Either he's a pro-QB or he's not. I think he's not. One of the big problems with the draft in recent years has been these huge signing deals. You just don't really know what you're getting. That's why so many pro-teams are leery of signing QB's at the top of the draft. The position is just too important to gamble with. And Davis is a gambler. In today's NFL, gamblers most often get eaten alive. It would be different if Davis had built a team like the Jets, that fundamentals-based system where even an average QB can win with it, but Davis always tries to build these high-flying circus teams, and for that you need high-skilled skill-position players. You can't gamble with those positions on that type of team. Warner has to retire. He's going to get killed out there if he keeps it up. The Cards have all the makings of a great team. An average veteran QB from another team may be great with the Cards. It's time to find out. Whatever any of the teams do, they'd best think twice before signing Tebow. I don't think that guy is going to make it in the NFL. I don't say that because of his stupid TV ad (what an %$#@$#), but because he's not a pro-style QB from a pro-style team. The Gators produce a lot of great players - just not from the QB position. JMJ Favre is a hard call. The Vikes have a good team up there.

The Raiders are in a rut. No doubt about it. Russell’s problems with the Raiders started from the get-go. Russell never seemed ot have his head in the game, or his spirit with the team. He comes off as self-indulgent and apathetic. And that doesn’t even address his skill set. There are too many intangibles for any coach to fix. Either he’s a pro-QB or he’s not. I think he’s not. One of the big problems with the draft in recent years has been these huge signing deals. You just don’t really know what you’re getting. That’s why so many pro-teams are leery of signing QB’s at the top of the draft. The position is just too important to gamble with. And Davis is a gambler. In today’s NFL, gamblers most often get eaten alive. It would be different if Davis had built a team like the Jets, that fundamentals-based system where even an average QB can win with it, but Davis always tries to build these high-flying circus teams, and for that you need high-skilled skill-position players. You can’t gamble with those positions on that type of team.

Warner has to retire. He’s going to get killed out there if he keeps it up. The Cards have all the makings of a great team. An average veteran QB from another team may be great with the Cards. It’s time to find out.
