Campbell A Raider

Oakland had, what appeared to be a great draft. One thing is for sure - Campbell has never been in a situation with a better offensive line and as much talent to help him be successful. I wish him the best of luck, but i can't say that I miss him at all. I do wonder how his career would have played out if Gibbs had never brought in Saunders.

Yeah, I had bought two Cooley Jerseys and sold them on Ebay because of all the Cooley trade talk. Then I bought Two Haynesworth Jerseys, thinking he is the one guy it would be safe to do so. Next thing I know, he is supposedly on the trading block.

Try buying just one next time. ;)

You might have overreacted just a tad with Cooley. He was never on the trade block, it was just pure fan speculation.

Say what you want about Campbell, but remember that he got sacked 50 times last year. And most of those sacks were because Zorn didn't know anything about protection schemes. Also, remember that Campbell had two Offensive Coordinators last year and one of his coordinators was used to calling, "N37" or "B18". No other quarterback in the league has had to go through something like that. So, putting up 3600 yards passing and 20 touchdowns...................................yeah, those are average numbers, but putting up average numbers when you're getting sacked 50 times while hearing "B19" from your coordinator...........................Thats pretty impressive if you ask me. Letting him go was dumb. Letting him go for almost nothing in return was dumber. And trading for McNabb was the dumbest move this franchise has made since bringing in Deon Sanders.

But, you got to tip your cap to the Raider's front office on this one. They got a mobile gun slinger, who can learn a new system every year, do well with any offensive coordinator in the league, and can take hard hits! And it didn't cost them anything. What a move by the Raiders...........................

I'll give you credit for the whole Zorn crap. Although it doesn't speak for his time with Gibbs. As far as the Bingo caller, remember the team got better and actually won a couple of games because of him. So don't blame the Bingo caller, blame the guy who couldn't win prior to the Bingo caller.

My biggest gripe? Another wasted jersey purchase. :(

If this was the 70's and 80's where players stayed with their teams throughout their whole career I'd purchase one. These days I'll settle for the cheap knock offs at Walmart.

oh god, you had to bring up Walmart :(

I have a Portis jersey that has served me well for about 4 years.

If I buy another, it will probably be Darrell Green or Art Monk though. I'd buy a Sean Taylor also.

I've considered an Orakpo, but it's so tough to predict if he'll be here forever. In a perfect scenario, he'll dominate for us for 15 years, but we've let some great players go. It's just the nature of the business today.

Does anyone know the exact terms of the trade? Clayton's reporting that we only get the 2012 4th rounder if Oakland makes the playoffs or Campbell makes the pro-bowl. In my opinion, that's crap. Hopefully, Clayton's just confused and we're getting a 2012 4th that can increase to something better if Campbell makes the pro-bowl or leads Oakland to the playoffs. If Clayton's correct, then it was completely retarded for us to trade him at all. We'd have been better of just keeping him as a backup in 2010 and letting him walk after the season. Atleast that way, we'd be (almost) assured of getting a compensatory pick in 2012.
