I want Geno to start. But Vick is about as good a contingency plan as I could have hoped for. Especially on a deal like that.
Raiders acquired QB Matt Schaub from the Texans in exchange for a 2014 sixth-round draft pick.
Same story, different year. The Raiders have now traded for Carson Palmer, Matt Flynn, and Schaub over the last four years, none remotely a long-term solution or even a viable short-term fix. Schaub, 33 in June, was benched for Case Keenum in Houston last year and has a 16:20 TD-to-INT ratio since Thanksgiving of 2012. The fact that any team -- let alone a Raiders squad that should be holding onto draft picks with a vice grip -- gave up compensation for this player is utterly incomprehensible. Schaub has a $10 million base salary plus $1 million in per-game roster bonuses due in 2014. He's a lock to open the season as Oakland's starting quarterback, regardless of what happens at the No. 5 overall pick. This trade was a job well done by Texans GM Rick Smith.
I think it's amusing Vick gets so much hatred, Big Ben was accused of sexual assault and rape multiple times but never got to court thanks to a few mysterious settlements.
That chemistry he and Kaep have isnt easy to replace. I think Crabtree is more reliable right now.
And why wouldn't you see if Pryor can amount to a starter? Schaub is spoiled goods, the raiders are not in position to win anyways. Counter productive.
This.... You could put Peyton Manning on that can squad and they wouldn't win 8 games. Why not run with one of your young guys and keep your draft picks? The Raiders are a fucking dumpster fire.
The GOAT tells it how it is.
