Of course, knowing the Raiders, they will cave and have him playing by week 10 when they are 3-7.

Yeah pretty much, if they really wanted to do this to get him to play they should have done this earlier. Many people predicted that he wouldn't start this year, but I agree if they Raiders suck he will be in soon.
