Cody Pickett Waived

A QB release was expected, but why not Andrew Walter? He simply has no upside.

 

<font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">QB is not the problem. You may think this is nuts but QB wasn't the problem last year either.</font></p>

<font face="Arial" size="3">FIVE GUYS WHO CAN BLOCK !!!!</font></p>

<font face="Arial" size="3">Find 5 guys who can remember the friggin' snap count, and who will actually block and anybody on the roster can QB this team. We had a 45 year old man at QB once upon a time, and he won games. Because he had 5 guys who could block.</font></p>

<font face="Arial" size="3"></font></p>

 

That problem is blatantly obvious. The question is why are they holding onto Walters? He has had 8 chances to prove himself and only produced 3 TDs and 13 INTs. Even Carr wasn't that bad after taking years of punishment behind the NFL's worst line and he's an average QB at best.

 

I've heard that Daunte may not be 100% until 08 so who knows?</p>

Though, I agree w/ the assessment about Oaklands OL.</p>

 

<font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">I guess I really didn't respond to part about Walter. Here's the thing. The Raiders drafted Walter out of ASU the season after he broke all of John Elway's NCAA records. Al Davis is of a belief that a "stiff" couldn't do that. </font></p>

<font face="Arial" size="3">Joe Willie freakin' Namath would have been lucky to throw for 3 td's behind that mirage of an offensive line.</font></p>

<font face="Arial" size="3">Therefore, Walter stays. Until such time as he fails miserably behind a competent line.</font></p>

<font face="Arial" size="3">Lot's of people still think Elway holds all the records. He don't. Andrew Walter does.</font></p>

I think Carr had a much better line in front of him. He would have had more sacks if he were quarterbacking the Raiders last season.</p>

Pickett was only signed to give the RAIDERS a third arm in camp so that the other two, Walter and McCown wouldn't be noodle-armed before Jamarcus gets to camp. With Culpepper in town, the third arm now belongs to Walter.

 

Quote of the day </p>

"How about picking up the ball when it's on the ground?" -- Kiffin, after quarterback Andrew Walter fumbled a snap and made little attempt to get back the ball during a scrimmage</p>

LMAO!</p>

Third stringers...</p>

 

LMAO. Thanks ROTR. A good laugh is hard to find sometimes.

 

Good to see you around, Chip!</p>

</p>

 

Thanks. I think that I'll stay a while. I'm lazy, so having all these forums linked is great for me.</p>

Speaking of seeing me around, I'll be coming up for the Bears game in November. Not sure of all the logistics yet, but if you are going to the game we'll have to hook up. </p>

 

For sure!</p>
