How did he hear it wrong? The raiders should have signed some freakin O linemen and a WR worth a damn.

Garcia would actually give them a better chance to win, being mobile he could avoid the pass rush a little better. Especially since they have a pitiful offensive line.

IF Garcia plays, he will be running for his life. The O-Line is horrendous and if they expect JR to be an accomplished qb they probably should address that issue first

JR was finding his groove toward the end of the season last yr, and will be a force this next one. The Raiders have no one after JR at qb, and JG will be a great pickup.

russell is the starter period. he played well to end the season and will get the opportunity to keep improving. that being said if he falters at the start i think AL will want garcia in there. as a raider fan it worries me because it could turn into a bad QB controversy
