It's unbelievable to me that the same board that one year ago was pining for Kyle flipping Orton thinks Alex Smith is beneath them though. That's crazy.
Nobody was pining for Kyle Orton, but most realize he is head and shoulders above Cassel even though he is far from being an elite QB.

Any raw talent that Smith has was exposed in last year's championship game. Being #1 overall isn't enough. You can't claim potential for a guy who has been in the league 8 years and never got to that potential. At some point you just have to admit he is nothing more than a very good game manager.

What the Raiders fan has said is true, our customs are different. What Al Davis has said is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.
