(Possibly) intriguing QB?

Recommended Posts

In light of the rather dire playoff situation that the Raiders find themselves in, I was reading around today to learn what I could, and came across this:

 

Source: #Raiders are flying in FA QB Garrett Gilbert and he’s expected to sign on their practice squad. Could be active later this week.

 

...and shrugged, because seriously, who?

 

And there was more (which still failed to actively interest me):

 

Scott Bair @BairCSN

One of few QBs who make sense. Spent time on the practice squad last year. Knows the system, which is mandatory in such a pinch.

 

But then this got my attention:

 

 

Leigh 'Jerry Maguire' Steinberg is his agent - that's a good thing, isn't it? So I read a bit more, but haven't had the time to really research yet:

 

The Rams selected Gilbert in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

 

St. Louis cut him from the practice squad in late October 2014, and he signed with the Patriots nearly two months later. Gilbert went on to win a Super Bowl ring with New England.

 

Gilbert spent the 2015 season on the Raiders' practice squad.

 

The Silver and Black waived him in May 2016.

 

So, I dunno....what do you think? Are any of you familiar with his play?

Didn't Jamarcus Russell say a while back that he's so eager to get back into the league that he'd play for free or something?

 

Here's your shot, kid.

Unfortunately, he is currently stuck.....lodged in between the framing of the exit door of the local Popeye's Chicken. Emergency crews are working feverishly to free him.

yeah, but think what he's got going for them now vs. when he was there before...

 

*One of the best o-lines in the league will give him more time to create. May not be as mobile now because of his size, but still has to have the cannon, so behind that o-line that can still be dangerous. Plus they wouldn't need him to be as mobile anyways now.

*2 very good WRs that can help get the ball if he's inaccurate.

* A good RB, and a very good complimentary back in Richard.

*Decent enough defenses that will at least keep them in the game.

 

I bet Mark Davis would be chomping at the bit to be the guy, not his dad, that got Russell to become a player. What a legacy builder for him.

 

 

KIDDING; I don't believe any of that.

Good argument though, right?

Good enough for me.

 

I would love to see them throw Big Jam out there in a playoff game. Now, that would be worth watching.
