Starting QB Bruce Gradkowski tore his MCL in both knees ending his 2009 season.  Gradkowski played in 7 games this season for the Raiders and he completed 82 of 150 passes (54.7%) for 1,007 yards with 6 TD passes and 3 INTs (80.6 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 18 times for 108 yards (6.0 ypc).  This is a huge injury for the Raiders as Gradkowski inspired the team to play better when he was on the field.
