Not that he shouldn't be scrambling, but he's getting up there and should certainly know better than to drop his fucking shoulder and try to power a few more yards out of the run.
For as much supposed talent there is supposed to be on this team, I for one aint' seen shit. Every week, all the tv guys talk about Kerry Collins, Tyrone Wheatley, Gallery, Porter, Zereoue (I hope I spelled that right) and Jerry Fuckin' Rice. They talk about how talented the ball team is. I for one have yet to be impressed. I have yet to see these guys put together an outstanding drive and sustain the momentum.
Don't get me started on the defense. Jeezy Chreezy these guys are supposed to be great. Woodson, Buchannan x2, Warren Sapp and Big Ted, all commendable players, but can't seem to stop anything consistently. Instead they let the other guys march downfield, seemingly at will. It's just fucking irritating to see these guys be down by 14 and watch them celebrating when they stop one in the backfield. Try to stop'em all, dickhead! Do they understand how embarassing it is to see them do that stupid "you ain't going nowhere" celebration when they're down by 21? They've been going "nowhere" on you all day. You want to celebrate now?!?!
They can't possibly do any worse than last season, but five wins is a long way away.
Norv Turner's weak. Kerry Collins is weak. This whole team is weak. Warren Sapp should keep his mouth shut until he earns the right to open it, Tui should start against Denver and Curry and Whitted need to see more passes their way.

The last two seasons Gannon hasn’t played well? You mean the 3 games he played this season and the 7 he played last? Although he didn't play up to his standards in those several games, could you blame him with an O-line like that? If they don’t commit false starts, they give Gannon no more than 2 seconds in the pocket. Gannon is not superman, you can’t expect him to throw passes with no time in the pocket, even if he is a damn good scrambler, a QB can only do so much. As for him dropping his shoulder and running, I assume you are talking about the injury. First off, Brooks speared him on that play and the refs were too stupid to pull the flag out. That should have been a personal foul as well as an ejection. You cannot helmet butt a player, especially a QB who is so valuable to the team. Gannon was already down; all Brooks had to do was touch him. And the guy was trying his heart out; he wanted to prove to the league and Raider nation that he could still play like he did in 02. He worked his ass off in the off season just to satisfy us fans.
As for your list of our players.
Collins - He is garbage, I already stated that, he is the reason we are 2-3. With Gannon we would be 4-1. Look at my first post to see why I think he is the reason we lose.
Wheatley - He is a strong runner and could break it open at any time. The major problem with him though is that he is always getting injured, otherwise he is a fine RB.
Porter - This guy needs to step up a bit more and be a leader. He has had several decent catches and gains, hell, even 1 or 2 nice ones, but he still has yet to live up to my expectations (and the rest of the fan for that matter). He has the size and speed of T.O, he just needs to be a better route runner. Give him time and he will show. After all, he is our next Tim Brown.
Zeroue - Now this guy I got good feelings about. Did you miss the TD run he had in Houston? He had over 100 yards rushing in that game. He would have had the same at Indy as well had Middleton not done that moronic hold; otherwise he would have had a TD. He plays with the passion we need, and he has yet to disappoint me. After all, we are missing Fargas and Wheat.
Gallery - He is well focused and has played damn well. He plays with everything he has out there and he is giving our pathetic QB plenty of time to get the pass off. He is talented in both T and G positions.
Rice - I love him, but his career is over. Sorry Rice, you just cant keep up with the youngsters anymore.
You cannot have a good drive when the fucking QB throws 7 picks in 2 games and fumbles 3 fucking times. It is ridiculous.
The problem with our D is that we DO have all star players, we just don’t pick the right plays at the right times. First off, we need to drop the 3-4 because it is not working in our favor, especially when we keep rushing fucking 3. Stop rushing 3, our LB's are not that great and we will get burned every time. We need to get back to the 4-3. We cannot get a fucking sack if our lives depended on it. Carr who is the number 1 sacked QB in the league and we cannot even touch him once? Pathetic. CWood and Buch have been doing fairly well, but this Walker guy needs to be cut. Did you see the way he got raped by Wayne....this is not pop warner guy, get your ass in shape. As for Sapp, you are getting paid how much asshole? Get your ass in shape and back up the talk. Otherwise, so far he has just been a waste of money.
AND FOR FUCKS SAKE WE NEED TO STOP THESE GOD DAMN STUPID PENALTIES. These things are KILLING us on third down. How many times did we GIVE Indy the fucking TD while we took it away from ourselves? We just need to play smarter football. As it goes right now, Callahan was right about what he said.
I will say this again, if Turner is a moron and starts Collins again we will get slaughtered by the Donkies. If Turner is smart, he will start TUI, otherwise we are well on our way to another 4-12 season, if that. Collins is KILLING our morale.
