<![CDATA[Garcia signs with Raiders]]>Well, some good news in the QB value dept. The Raiders have taken Garcia off the FA QB market. I assume this helps out the value of any QB the browns might want to move.

I think it's going to happen in the next NFL/Players union contract. Old vets are tired of these unproven kids coming in and making more as soon as they sign a contract. More than those old vets do in five years.

It only makes sense for the majority of players to vote for this. They'll see it as it making more money available for them.

Uhhh... JR will be the starter once the season rolls around, even if Garcia shows more in camp. With that said, it's fairly obvious that Russel isn't putting the work in. I wouldn't be surprised if he's riding the pine by week 3 or 4.

His work ethic is coming into question.

I'm not sure how the NFL prepares rookies for the NFL. But maybe, just maybe they aren't doing enough.

I want a Job where my employer says, "Here's a few million. Now in your first year, sit and watch how other people do it".

Look at the Quarterback class of 1999. Supposed to have been one of the best in a long time.

Tim Couch

Akili Smith

Daunte Culpepper

Cade McNown

Donavan McNabb

McNabb and Culpepper are the only two that have seen success and some would question if Culpepper has had a successful career.

Couch, Smith and McNown... Gone. See ya. How much money was wasted on these guys?

Wait but he can throw 70 yards on his knees, he must be good. Oh wait DA can too, never mind.

To this point, I've heard nothing about extra time in the film room for JR, no extra time or off season training programs and a slew of bad games to show for it.

He's another guy with "the arm" everyone drools over and hopes turns out to be the next big thing.

JR was drafted on his arm and one good big game. Honestly I didn't think he was going to last as long as he did.

Aren't we all glad that at least this decision was removed from Opie's grasp?
