The QB play was pretty awful for the Oakland Raiders in 2009
The Raiders were very disappointing with the QB play they got in 2009 specifically with 24-year old JaMarcus Russell who was pathetic. He played in 12 games this season for the Raiders and he completed 120 of 246 passes (48.8%) for 1,287 yards with 3 TD passes and 11 INTs (50.0 QB Rating). He also carried the ball 18 times for only 44 yards (2.4 ypc) this year. Russell has now played in 31 games in his NFL career and he has completed 354 of 680 passes (52.1%) for 4,083 yards with 18 TD passes and 23 INTs (65.2 QB Rating). He has also carried the ball 40 times for 175 yards (4.0 ypc) with 1 TD run in his career so far. Russell really sucked in 2009 so his future as a Oakland Raider is likely up in the air.
26-year old Bruce Gradkowski was by far the best QB the Raiders had in 2009 before he blew out both knees. He played in 7 games for the Raiders this year and he completed 82 of 150 passes (54.7%) for 1,007 yards with 6 TD passes and 3 INTs (80.6 QB Rating). Gradkowski also carried the ball 18 times for 108 yards (6.0 ypc) this year. Gradkowski has now played in 26 games in his NFL career and he has completed 279 of 523 passes (53.3%) for 2,824 yards with 15 TD passes and 16 INTs (65.9 QB Rating). He also has carried the ball 67 times for 291 yards (4.3 ypc) without a TD run in his career. The Raiders should try to keep Gradkowski around as he really played well for them this year.
28-year old Charlie Frye was third in line for the Raiders this season. He played in 3 games in which he completed 53 of 87 passes (60.9%) for 581 yards with 1 TD pass and 4 INTs (65.3 QB Rating). Frye also carried the ball 4 times for 41 yards (10.3 ypc) last season. Frye has now played in 26 games in his NFL career and he has completed 419 of 677 passes (61.9%) for 4,154 yards with 17 TD passes and 29 INTs (69.7 QB Rating). He has also carried the ball 72 times for 347 yards (4.8 ypc) with 4 TD runs in his career. The Raiders should really look in a different direction than keeping Frye in 2010.
28-year old J.P. Losman signed with the Raiders after Gradkowski’s injury and he only got into 1 game throwing 1 incomplete pass. Losman has played in 43 games in his NFL career and he has completed 558 of 942 passes (59.2%) for 6,211 yards with 33 TD passes and 34 INTs (75.6 QB Rating). He has also carried the ball 103 times for 489 yards (4.7 ypc) with 3 TD runs. The Raiders would have little to lose in giving Losman a legit chance to make the team in 2010.

PLS JAMARCUS RUSSELL VERY BAD QB HIM OUT . I WANT TO AL DAVIS MUST FIRED OUT RUSSELL . I NEED ANOTHER NEW QB OK RUSSELL NOT GOOD PLAY STINK . HE IS AFRIAD PLAY . PEOPLE HATE TO RUSSELL OUT MOVE THROW AWAY HIM NOT PLAY .

I agree with you Ralph. I just hope Al Davis doesn’t do something dumb like fire Coach Cable for talking bad about Russell. I think he did a great job when you consider the kind of players he was using at QB.
GET RID OF RUSSELL MILLION DOLLAR FLOP”””””’
