The answer is simple: the QBs aren't the problem, and they never were.
Cable lied to us and told us we would be in the playoffs with an average QB. He used JaMarcus as a scapegoat for his own ineptitude.
We were led to believe that JaMarcus was what was holding this team back. Well, JaMarcus is gone and something is still holding us back.
Whatever the problem was last year, it's still here.
It is as clear as day—Tom Cable is what's holding this team back, and what's been holding the team back all along.
Tom Cable is an O-line coach by trade and all offseason he told us our O-line, as well as our receivers, was good enough and would improve with better QB play.
Tom Cable is fraud, a liar and the biggest joke of a head coach that I've seen since Art Shell part II.
Well, fast-forward to today and Tom Cable's O-line has sidelined two QBs, Bruce Gradkowski and Jason Campbell, with injuries. At this rate, it's only a matter of weeks before we're forced to bring back JaMarcus.
Things have gotten so bad that we are now down to Kyle Boller, our third string QB, and Shane Lechlar, a Pro-Bowl punter, taking snaps at QB with the offense.
Maybe next week we can try Sebastian Janikowski out at QB.
If you want average QB play, the first thing you need is average coaching. Then average O-line play and protection. And then average receivers.
Well, our coach is a clown, our O-line is a joke and we have a receiver corps filled with inexperienced youngsters. It's no surprise the offense hasn't improved.
It's time for some major changes with the Oakland Raiders. We need a real head coach. Someone who can actually evaluate talent. Someone who won't tell us our O-line can perform when the rest of the world knows damn well it can't. Some one who won't spread false hope in the form of blatant lies.
The Raiders need to part ways with Tom Cable, the same way they did with Lane Kiffin, JaMarcus Russell and the other cancerous scum that held this team back.
