    Is it too early to judge the Raiders' selection of QB JaMarcus Russell as the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft? Not for NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger, who blasted Russell and the Raiders in a chat on NFL.com Tuesday.Asked by a reader when the Raiders might be able to contend again, Baldinger said:"The quarterback (Russell) can't play. He's a bust. Darren McFadden is a bust. He won't stay healthy in this league. He's had only one good game. They have drafted poorly. They are easily scouted. The defense plays schemes that don't make sense. They play the ends out wide, and play the safeties too deep. Al Davis always believes that you have a deep safety, but Atlanta exploited that with Michael Turner. And to just see how bad Russell is, you have to look at what Matt Ryan did in that game. Russell just doesn't know what he is doing."

    Russell may or may not pan out but I think it is too early to write him off. I thought he went too high in the draft but that is what happens with QBs. Given how bad that team sucks and the disarray it is in no QB has much of a chance there much less a second year starter.

    Brian Baldinger is a moron. Russell has tons of talent, but it was obvious that he'd need a long time to develop. And calling McFadden a bust already is absurd.

    DeAngelo waived after 8 games. He keeps all of the signing bonus (7 mil) and his 1 million dollar salary for year (he's vested) so he played 8 games for 8 million dollars. Sweet deal

    The only thing REALLY wrong with the Raiders, is Al Davis. He is the root cause of EVERY problem that organization has.:smiley_resurrect_gr

    Sirius speculated today that the NFL might tell Al Davis to take a back seat and get somebody in there to get that organization turned around.

    They said it was getting to the point where the Raiders were damaging the NFL brand.
