Raiders starting QB is now Gradkowski

After the Oakland Raiders Coach Tom Cable had a meeting with all the three quarterbacks possible to start in their Raiders jerseys Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, he announced after Wednesday practice that journeyman Bruce Gradkowski will be the starter.

As Cable said this was not a temporary move, that his plan is to stick with Gradkowski, former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell may have lost his starting job for the season. What is his feeling to Cable’s decisions, including the one to bench him in last Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs? The player was not available to make a comment during the media access period but Cable said that Russell was disappointed but still worked hard in practice.

Russell will be the No. 2 quarterback this week against the Bengals. Unless he made significant improvements in his effectiveness, accuracy and decision-making, it is unlikely that he would get the starting job back this season.
