Culpepper looked very good in the St. Louis/Oakland game. He made very good decisions with the ball.If he keeps playing like this, he will be a starter without a doubt. This doesn't favor JaMarcus Russell's chances for the starting job as his contract dispute will backfire on him.What do you all think?
I am pretty sure that he will start. He's been doing well and they picked him up for a reason. Although this doesn't mean the Raiders are gonna be very good either...
I would put it around 80% Russell's hold out has put him in a bad way. He probably had the job at the draft but with Culpepper showcasing he still has it the Raiders have to atleast let him get the first 3 games.
I'm pretty sure Russel won't start for the raiders, at least at the start. I do have Culpepper as their starter for now, and hopefully they won't have to swap in one of the whities during the season.
100% in my opinion. He'll get it simply for the experience he has. If things start sucking real bad again they'll throw in Russell to get him some experience. Assuming he signs sometime this century.
Fumbling is his main problem and always has been. If he can take the ball from the center without fumbling, he has a great shot at a starting job in Oakland. I hope he does well and gets himself a shot at a starting job elsewhere. With Jamarcus Russell being drafted he has no shot at a long term starting job there. Speaking of JR I wonder when he is going to sign?
IMO, Culpepper will start. He's definetly more talented and experienced than McCown and Walter. The team also seems to flow and click better with him behind center. Russell is out of the question - he won't start.
If Russel starts 5 games this year, I'll be surprised. He has missed way too much practice and preseason time for him to even have an idea what is going on in the offense. He has no experience at all playing, or very much practice. Culpepper is the sure starter for this year.
As it stands right now, Culpepper has it. With all the drama surrouding Russell, he might not even start a game this season. Unless Culpepper has another one of those freak injuries, he should have the starting job on lockdown.
russel has no chance of starting at all, its culpepper's job, until he blows out his knee again maybe they will throw russel in a few games seeing as the season will be meaningless by then, walter will probably play more games. russel is the future not present.
Culpepper has been doing good this preseason so he most likely will be the starter. I hope he gets back to his old form, to be honest I don't know why theres all this hype around JeMarcus Russell, I guess the Raiders think he could be the next Vince Young but I don't see that happening, especially now that hes holding out. Dumb move on Russell's part.
I think he has the job and first of all how is there even competition? I would take a healthy Culpepper over McCown or Walter ANYDAY and one more thing man do I feel bad for the Raiders getting Russel and now him holding out that tough.
