[quote=GusFrerotte;718461]Yeah, but Tavaris really sucked in 2008 Tryfuhl. Not saying Gus is better than Tavaris, not yet anyway, since we have to see more of Tavaris to make a honest comparison, but saying Tavaris is better than JC right now, is quite the stretch.[/quote]

I agree, but I also know that it's not 2008.

Re: Raiders sign QB Colt Brennan

My guess is Campbell recommended him to the job. Which is smart, because you always want someone that competes for your job to suck. Just kidding, I hope he does well. I am excited about Campbell finally getting a chance to play in a vertical passing game.

[quote=GusFrerotte;718462]I understand all that, but it is all about perception, especially in the media. You know if my scenario does happen(JC in the playoffs, McNabb out) that some boneheads will question the move to get Donovan, and all that crap. [B]The AFC West sucks monkey balls. THe Skins could easily win that division right now[/B], but might end up as low as 3 in the NFC East in '10.[/quote]Yup.

[quote=Dirtbag359;718452]Does the Cult even exist? I mean I've seen people suggest giving him a shot when times were tough, or inquiries of curiosity as to how Colt would fair during the regular season, but thats about it. I don't think I've ever seen anyone suggest that Colt should be our franchise QB's outside of a few jokes.[/quote]Blog hits say, yes, the Cult is real.

[quote=GusFrerotte;718455]Tarvaris Jackson? Better than JC? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Gus took over for him in 2008 remember and went 8-3 with the Vikes. If that lunkhead Jackson didn't screw things up during his brief reign, the Vikes would have been playoff bound. That would have been a total scream if Gus got the Vikes to the playoffs. I would only get half the heat I do now for liking him!!!!!![/quote]

Lets not have revisionist history Tarvaris wasn't playing that bad when Childress made the switch AND the switch was widely blasted as the wrong move by ESPN and NFL network football crews.
Go back and look at Tarvaris 2008 numbers: 1,056 yards 7 TDs 2 Ints 95.4 QB rating and Jackson [U][I][B]DID[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][/COLOR][/B][/I][/U]lead them into the playoffs down the stretch when he was one of the better QBs in the [B][I][U]NFL:[/U][/I][/B]

As far who's better its a tough call b/c Jackson he's been playing for a much better team then Campbell, i would probably give the nod to Campbell but both he and Jackson are victims of inaccurate fan perceptions as your post illistrates.

Re: Raiders sign QB Colt Brennan

He's half way back home to Hawaii, so if he gets cut, the flight won't be as long...

I keed of course. Good luck to him.

[quote=sandtrapjack;718403]You guys can poke fun all you want at 'Da Raid-ahhs. But considering the Broncos are dropping like flies at camp, its reasonable to believe they will challenge for a post season appearance, maybe even the AFC West.[/quote]

I've actually said that on here before, Wild Card contender. I think they're a lock for 2nd-place in the division behind SD.

Re: Raiders sign QB Colt Brennan

he's not even going to make the team. he'll be out of football in a few weeks or he'll be in the canadian league.
