Raiders head coach Hue Jackson adamant Jason Campbell is his starting QB
Whatever you do, don't ask Raiders head coach Hue Jackson who his starting quarterback is going to be this season. You're just asking for a tongue-lashing. Well, someone did yesterday, and the response is priceless. Jackson said, "You did not ask me that question. He did not ask that question out here today. Does anybody no know who the starting quarterback is of the Raiders? Are you kidding me? Doesn't he wear No. 8? His name is Jason Campbell. He is the starting quarterback of the Raiders. Period! Any other questions?"
Fantasy Analysis:
Nope, we're good, coach. 'Preciate it.
The question was fairly stupid considering that Kyle Boller is the only other quarterback on the Raiders' roster. But that will change. I think they will add someone of note with past success to come in and compete. It's not as if Campbell is untouchable.
However, until the Raiders upgrade at the QB position -- and Campbell is not the answer -- it's tough to be high on Oakland wide receivers, which is unfortunate because they have a nice crop. I like Jacoby Ford the most, and he's nothing more at a mid-round pick right now because of his QB.
