I mean the raiders and buffalo will always exist

True, but how long before Jason Campbell proved to be the same exact Jason Campbell he was elsewhere? And he can show halfway decent numbers thanks to the parts of the game following competition over, which we commonly know as junktime compensation stats vrs prevent defenses yielding uncontested yardage underneathe in exchange for clock burning.

Every time I watch the Raiders - I seem to see another ex-Brown (Charlie Frye or Bruce Gradkowski) starting over first round QBs like Jamarcus Russell and Jason Campbell.

At some point, someone has to call a spade is a spade.

I WILL admit - the Offensive Coordinator that couldn't help Alex Smith at all is helpign Jay Cutler. Although Cutler had 2 INTs that were nullified by penalty at home so I'll withhold judgement until I see him better 8 wins for the first time ever as a pro that went to winning teams.

NOBODY liked bringing up his 26 INTs in Chicago last year on the same team that was 9-7 with the game manager they couldn't send packing quick enough. It looks like Martz is doing some nice work with him now that one of the fastest WRs in the NFL (Johnny Know per Indy 40) is getting put into the game plans. I still don't see an elite QB but if he can refrain from the ill-timed INTs - I might say I'm starting to see somewhat of a good leader. I've always held his poise in question when it's time to win a game. He had an ill-advised underthrow intercepted in traffic but lucky for him there was a little bit of contact while 1 GB defender was intercepting the ball.

It also helps when Devin Hester scores on STs and shortens the field well enough for another score.

Dude!...Put down the Bong man...Or whatever it is your tootin'....Troy Smith has a gun LOL...Alex Smith is about as noodle armed as they come...A Little more oomph than Leinart and Sanchez and that aint sayin much...Wow!...Your really broke up over this we can tell.

Captain check down has another "emerging" game. That hook is coming soon for Alex.

[Shep]

Smith started out really strong... and did fade.

Clausen had a grow-up game and made a huge clutch completion on 4th and 4... only to have a 7 yard loss on a running play. But he had a TD, 0 picks, and a 90.6 rating. He's progressing pretty quickly without much to work with at WR.

Smith does break my heart when he's that hot (12 of 14) and in rhythm... and then he does something silly and seems to disappear.

Sanchez has 8 TDs and 0 INTs so far this year.

Smith is now 5-10 since he took over a winning team last year (3-2).. He keeps digging a deeper hole for himself. I'm just praying since the 49rs did not have the confidence in him to resign him...that his does not somehow end up here next year...Please NO NO NO NO..

I wouldn't want him as a back up either.

[Masters]

Shep, Clausen completed 52% of his passes. That QBR is misleading. He managed the game nicely, but this showing was nothing to get excited about imo.

[Sez.EJ]

Clausen still looked lost (as expected in his 2nd start). Just watch Steve Smith's stats throughout the year and it will be likely tied to Clausens grown ( or possibly lack of it).. Or if we see Steve Smith beat him up on the sideline or practice..that could be an indication.. but I have low expectations of Clausen... he's meeting them at this point...

Oh, I'm not saying he was amazing... he was "credible." I watched a lot of it. He looked more comfortable, threw several nice passes, and didn't turn the ball over.

He looked better. If you're the 0-4 Panthers, you take that as a sign of hope that you've found your guy.
