If Kiffin is given the reigns completely, I say WATCH OUT. The Raiders will be scary on the ground – although JaMarcus isn’t very intelligent, he has a HUGE arm.

I saw a lot more from Eli in college and even early in his career. I don’t think comparing Croyle to a Manning is a legit comparison. To me, Croyle is in the same camp as the Kellen Clemens and Tarvaris Jacksons of the leagues. Guys you take a flier on, not bet the house on.

And Josh Freeman has all the tools to be a franchise quarterback. I am a K-State kid, but anybody who thinks Daniel or Reesing will be better pro QBs is nuts.

Brodie, like all young QBs, is going to have days where he plays ugly. I think you also have to admit that the OL play was anything but spectacular. As bad as Croyle looked on Sunday, I still say he is making progress. For example, he now is more apt to throw the ball away rather than trying to force it somewhere that it doesn’t belong. It’s the little things that count right now.

As far as the Raiders are concerned, I’ll worry about them when we play them in week 2. I continue to trust in the omnipotent ability of Al Davis to make the coaching situation there dysfunctional and to spend his money in all the wrong ways.

Speaking of Al Davis and the Raiders, did anyone read Jabba’s unfavorable comparison of our organization to theirs? Any lingering doubts about his total hate for the Chiefs or for his unconditional love for the Raiders can now be completely dispelled. The guy has finally come out and proven himself as a complete and unabashed asshole.

Get it going, already. Actually, I think I prefer Josh Freeman. He runs a pro offense and I think his abilities might be better suited for a pro career. I’ve been meaning to write about him for some time, just didn’t want to deal with the Brodie Believers. Looks like they’ve been silenced for now.
