If there's a good trade opportunity, then the team should take it....if not, keep JC, if not, then keep him until whatever rook we pick up is ready to take the reins.
Even Shanahan did not throw Cutler into the fire right away, and I don't think he should throw a Bradford or Clausen into the fire right away. We have a terrible line that it will be rebuilt (hopefully), but it will be unproven once the 2010 season begins. That alone should be the reason why you don't want your priced #4 draft pick rookie behind center on day 1.

I'm not a Russell fan. Yes he sucks. I don't think anyone would have picked him up but the Raiders cause Al Davis likes his players to be the fastes out of the draft. Forget skills.
I too agree we should keep JC. As much as I'm bashing him.... he is safe with the ball. I'd cut Collins and keep JC as our Vet. I see no other Vets out there that are better then him. Which means I'm making him a backup unless the Rookie QB needs time as you said. Dude I'm with on this. I just don't think JC is our Franchise QB and am ready to move on in the sense that we need to be looking for our Franchise QB. We simply can't keep saying after 6yrs "maybe JC will work out this yr". He's a great backup. Nothing more. Keep him cause if he's required to start the season or be backup and step into a game he will be safe with the ball and not be a screw up like some back ups.... ie; Collins.
I guarentee you just like Smootsmack has said Shanahan will not let the OL be mediocre. stop fretting.

If nothing else know that Shanahan was know to have the best OL's in the NFL. He'll get what he needs. and as far as Rookie QB being thrown into the fire you oppinion and mine has always been one of the interesting debates among coach's. Some believe in throwing the Rookie in right away as the Falcons, Ravens, and Jets have and they had some success. Then there's the other side of the coin, look at Patrick Ramsey. Throwing a Rookie in with no protection will destroy the teams valuable draft pick. I totally agree. I guess I just have more faith in Shanahan fixing this cluster of an OL then other people.
