JaMarcus Russell's Raiders teammates remain steadfast in their belief that he is just going through a rough stretch and that he remains the best option at quarterback for a team that has lacked a proven one since Rich Gannon retired after the 2004 season. "He's fine," defensive end Jay Richardson said Wednesday. "He's a confident guy. He's understanding work ethic and what it takes to be a No. 1 quarterback. He's getting there. We all have confidence in him and confidence in our scheme and what we're doing. We'll be fine." Left offensive tackle Mario Henderson said his confidence in Russell is as high now as it was at the start of the season and that how well a quarterback plays goes hand in hand with how the 10 other guys on the field perform. Russell is the league's lowest-rated passer and owner of the worst completion percentage among those who began the season as starters. Source: The Oakland Tribune
