for real Tony, give it up dude....Russell fucking sucks...I mean how do you expect a guy to succeed when hes behind the learning curve, has one horrible game after another, has a huge contract but is still late to meetings...

why are you even defending the guy? He should be the first one in to practice and last one out, he should be the hardest working player on the team and he is not, what makes you think all of a sudden one day hes gonna start lighting it up out of nowhere...

with that said, its not just him, its the wide recievers, its the coaching and most of all its the ownership...

AL, got russell, he got mcfadden adn he got DHB...you say cable is setting him up to fail by sending two rookie wide recivers out there...do you think AL drafted DHB that high to sit him on the bench? Everybody was louis murphy, louis murhpy earlier in the year...you would bench him? in favor of who?

really its cable's fault? how much coaches have come and gone and gotten the blame? and anyways, who hired cable? who hired kiffen? who hired shell? and who is still having too much to do with the team?

the team needs to be sold and a tough proven coach needs to come in that does not has to please the owner but clean house of all the bullshit and get rid of players taht are not trying their best....
exactly!

sure, Cable is not the best coach... but I don't expect him to do much better with the roster he has and having to coach under Al

My bad, you all are right. The team went 3-4 after Russell was benched. I don't think Tom Cable should be fired because he may have stuck with Russell a bit too long. Cable took on a load of responsibility and the players seem to like him more than Kiffin. I say give him another year with a different qb. Cable is saying we're going to be a playoff team next year, so he's setting the expectations high. He needs a little help with the play calling though. So I think he should be brought back as our head coach next year.

As for Russell it's time to move on! He has the physical tools but you need more than physical tools to be a successful qb in the NFL. He hasn't shown the dedication needed from a franchise qb that's being paid millions of dollars. And if your 2nd and 3rd string qb's come in and put up better numbers then something is wrong.

props for coming back and admitting you were wrong

but c'mon Tony... how many times are you coming through with a different opinion than the rest of the Raiders fans... then coming back later to admit we were all right... (example: DHB) just trust us from now on bruh!

I know man.... I just say what I feel/think at the time. I've been wrong a lot this past year but that's how it goes with predictions. Yeah, DHB made me look like a damn fool. I thought he would drop a slant pass or two here and there (which receiver doesn't) but that game against K.C. sealed the deal on him.

If I was on his nuts then why would I create a thread stating "It's time to fire or demote Cable"?

But anyway, I guess it's time to up this thread. That seat is getting warm for Cable.... check this out:

"Say this for the Raiders _ they may have tight hamstrings, but they’re pretty loose in terms of practice demeanor.

There was no shortage of laughing and joking as they went through the paces at something less than half speed."

constant changes at head coach will not make the raiders a good football team all of a sudden.

they need a program in place and work from there. cable is pretty conservative being a o-line specialist, raider fans better hope tom can start turn it around, because hes been about the best solution that works with Al in the last few years....

end of the day you need to bring yourself back to reality tony, your my breh but the raiders org. might dont got it like the browns this last decade almost

al davis continues to ruin what was a great football franchise
both darren mcfadden and darius haward bay are 1st round busts

when u think about it the raiders demise aint the coachs fault
its the owners fault because of all the shitty decisions he makes

I wouldn't say that... McFadden has looked pretty good this year

and DHB hasn't looked great.. but he's shown improvement... he doesn't look like a first round draft pick, but it's too early to give him the bust label

its hard to blame DHB for al davis being a idiot, nobody but Tony and Al believed he was a top 10 talent, he is just a victim of where he got drafted, if the raiders took him with the 25th pick there wouldnt even be a discussion about it...

Neither is DHB, dude is getting yards after the catch, he wasn't 100% last week and the first week was a total blunder cause of the O-Line.

Who the fuck cares when he was he was picked, the Raiders were going to pick him any damn way. He's improving right along with the offense.... DHB has been coming through so far this year.

DHB is nowhere near where he should be....with his draft pick status he won't be shut until he dwarfs Louis Murphy in stats....and it doesn't look like that'll happen anytime soon.....BUT I love the way DHB has acted and has turned around his performance. I hope he plays up to his first round pick status, but I won't hold my breath. Louis Murphy was our best draft pick last year

DMc is playing well this year so i dont think you can call him a bust yet.....he's shown flashes so far of possibly being that player everyone thought he was coming out of college....DHB is improving but IMO he wont ever live up to the expectations of his draft spot....

the real question is WTF is wrong with the Defense?? we cant just keep getting run on like that....its not a good look at all....It's pretty hard to be 11th in total Defense and 31st against the run....
