It should be noted that I was terribly wrong last year when I wrote that the signing of Daunte Culpepper would propel the Dolphins into the playoffs and possibly into the Super Bowl. It should also be noted that I was right on the money when I wrote that the it would be another sad year in Raider nation. So it all came out in the wash.
But hell, I’ll say it again - I like the Culpepper signing. Even though I think Andrew Walter can be a good quarterback if given the correct system, I think Culpepper is a good fit for the Raiders and since number one pick JaMarcus Russell has not signed, he will unlikely be NFL ready by next week. When and if Marcus does sign, Culpepper with his size, arm and mobility, may prove to be a good mentor for Russell, so long as he doesn’t try to mentor that elusive little quality called “judgment.”
Will The Raiders be an improvement over last year? Yes, but considering where they were last year, that’s not saying a whole lot. If the defensive front can improve against the run and their overall defense stays stout under Bob Ryan, they’ll keep games close.
But I still wouldn’t expect much. Come on. Al Davis has gone insane. Their male fans dress up like assholes and their girl fans give the real girl fans like us a bad name. I mean seriously, that girl (on her hands and knees? WTF??) sends intelligent female football discourse back to the Stone Age. I get cheerleaders but that bitch is ridiculous. And this kind of whoredom only happens in Raider Nation.
