Comments on: Time for Raiders Russell to Prove His Worth http://www.nflgridirongab.com/2009/06/14/time-for-raiders-russell-to-prove-his-worth/ Are you ready for some football?

In my humble and newbie opinion, Mr. Warren seems to be saying that it takes great leadership to command the Raiders and lead them to victory. Will Mr. Russell accept the responsibility of his position and become the badly needed leader of this current team? Can he drop any ego he may have to blend into the the sea of black and silver only emerging as the "head" to the whole body of the Raiders? The cliche is true. There is no "I" in "TEAM", each man in that 53 man roster must accept Jamarcus Russell as the man sent to guide this team to triumph over the opponents. The squad has an obligation to the whole, working together to prevail over the opposing teams they will face. Again, the point is leadership. The subject of Black Hole Fan's rebuttal are issues facing all teams. All teams must tackle; all teams must catch the ball; and all defenses must stop their opponents.

When Matt Stafford enters his 3rd year, the Lions will still be in the process of putting together a team will you blame Stafford for all of their problems or will you be more patient with him? Just wondering why people like you even write articles without any context?

How many 23 year old Qb's have been to the probowl? Zero. Russell is going to be throwing touchdown passes 6 or 7 years after Peterson is out of the league due to injuries. I am so sick of so called raider fans bashing our young quarterback. The kid is going to be very good if not great. He was the youngest starting quarterback in the league last year. How come that is never mentioned? How did Elway or Marino or Montana look at 23? Pretty pathetic. Raidman is just another mindless idiot getting his opinion from the blohards at BSPN instead of thinking for himself. I don't know what games he was watching last year, but apparently it was not any Raider games. Russell has this year and next to prove he is the real deal. I am sure he is going to prove Raidman and the fools at SI and BSPN are the dumbasses that we knew they were. Raidmann is a moron. How many 23 year old Qb’s have been to the probowl? Zero.

As long as he has the best line in football,the best running game,the best wr's,the best D,gr8 specail teams,gr8 coaching,laces out when the ball is hiked,the media off his back,and he loses the will to fumble all the time,have the ball slip out of his man hands,(nfl record),reads his playbook,tries to learn how to read a td,becomes a leader,learns how to throw a ball to the left,or not go down before the hit..(6-7 300lbs???) learn how to throw a 30 yard pass,since NO PASSES in the NFL go 80 yards in the air,and avoid any kind of pressure!!! If he gets all that down he may be ok,tell he's traded!!!! Can't believe we passed up on peterson for this fool!!!!!! Your right..
