It IS the Raiders mind you. They've been utterly dysfunctional since Al Davis went senile and we haven't seen anything from them that shows differently since he died. Hell some would say even when he wasn't senile they won but were dysfunctional lol.
I agree what happened in Cinci we don't know about. At least he had the balls to actually go through with it. Whatever events transpired to piss him off to retire, he indeed was pissed off enough to retire. On the flip side he was one of the only members on the Bengals NOT to be arrested 47 times in 3 days.
Either way he went from there to the Raiders and somehow hasn't made a peep. So perhaps it was more of a personal thing between him and someone in ownership/fo.
He may not be the franchise star QB we are searching for, but he light years ahead of what we've had. Many times we've asked for a QB that was merely decent and if we had such a QB last year, we probably make the playoffs. Well here is actually one of those QB's, so while we still need to keep looking, we also until then need to grab someone like this.
On the Raiders team, 14 INT's came at a bad time with a crappy team that couldn't overcome, on this team, one mistake generally won't kill us. I would love to get him, simply because stop gap is something we must strive to achieve at this point.
