The Oakland Raiders thought they had put miserable passing performances in the past when they released draft bust JaMarcus Russell in the offseason. Instead, Jason Campbell delivered a performance against the San Francisco 49ers that was worse by some measurements than Russell ever had. Campbell went 8 for 21 for 83 yards and two interceptions in the 17-9 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. His 10.7 passer rating is the worst for a Raiders quarterback since Ken Stabler posted a 9.9 against Cincinnati in 1975. With starter Bruce Gradkowski's status in doubt because of a shoulder injury and Campbell nursing a sore knee sustained in the first half against San Francisco, coach Tom Cable says third-stringer Kyle Boller could start this week against Denver.

I was shocked he didnt get the call during the Niners game. The game was within reach and Campbell was playing like absolute trash, at the very minimum Boller couldn't have done worse, and could have probably played well enough to keep us in the game. The 49ers weren't exactly running away with it at any point, if we had had even mediocre qb play we could have had a chance.
Sounding like a Broncos win to me....and we don't want that...is there anyway both teams could lose? :icon_eek:
well, campbell is not the answer right now and that pick-up looks like a waste of time so they might as well start Boller if Gradkowski can't play. **********Automerged Doublepost********** they could tie. how would that be?
that would actually count as a win for both teams wouldn't it? We DEFINITELY don't want that! :icon_cheesygrin:
10.7 ugh I knew Campbell looked like utter crap that game but I had no idea how bad. Boller can't possibly play any worse
