re: All the talk about JR's salary killing his motivation.........

And don't get me wrong, I'm a huge JR fan. I think he's the best LSU QB I've ever seen, and wish nothing but the best for him.

I don't even think he's the bust that everyone makes him out to be. He had a solid 2nd year (really his first full season), which led some to consider the Raiders a possible darkhorse team to make a playoff push at the beginning of last year.

Of course, last year the wheels fell off and JR regressed way beyond the point of the usual sophomore slump.

But it didn't help that the Raiders threw away a top 10 1st round pick on a WR projected as a second rounder.

I truly think JR can still be a good pro, but he has to find the right fit. I hope he gets a shot with a legit QB coach with a team that can let him sit for a year or two and watch a vet QB.
