This is not up to the Raiders, it is up to Campbell since HE is the free agent at the end of this year. The question is, will he sign a contract knowing he may not start. He wants to be a starter. Sign dotted line and fight for your position.

Homework is nice...

But you DID see where he said he does not play in a "fluff conference"....right? LOL! THAT insinuates they would.

And by the way lets all stay on topic and lose the sarcastic comments thrown at each other because I will nuke those kind of posts. So continue to debate without making it personal.

Don't read too much into what I may or may not have said. You'll get a headache. Lol. I'm just saying there's a difference in playing in the AFC North the West.

I guess he can clear that up. Either way doesn't matter to me.

While it may be true that the Packers and Patriots are not the worst defenses in every single category, it remains that both defenses are very bad. Period. Ask Dan Orlovsky.

Bottom line is that because of only one guy on each team, the Packers and Patriots are Super Bowl contenders...perhaps even favorites. Without that one guy, the takeaways (and every other stat) are irrelevant.

And to get BACK ON TOPIC...find a franchise QB. It means sooooooo much more than any other position on the field. This is a QB league.

Points allowed

Patriots 321
Packers 318

JETS 344

Who has one of the worst defenses?

I don't mean to throw the Jets at you, but the NFL is about points not yards.

But, I do agree with you about the franchise qb, you could win with a generational defense like the 2000 Ravens or 1985 Bears, but that's not happening anymore in today's NFL.

Please. While it must be said Sanchez has been responsible for a lot of the points against, the Jets defense has been horrendous this year.

You don't want to be comparing your team's defense to the Jets' defense!

But, I do agree with you about the franchise qb, you could win with a generational defense like the 2000 Ravens or 1985 Bears, but that's not happening anymore in today's NFL.

Exactly. The Ravens are the recent team everyone mentions to say you don't need a great QB...but like you said that's a generational defense we may never see again.

Jason Campbell is too smart to think he has a chance to compete with Palmer next year, because of some homework:

The Raiders also renegotiated Palmer's contract, giving him a $2.5 million guaranteed deal for the rest of this season, $12.5 million with $5 million guaranteed in 2012, $13 million in 2013 and $15 million in 2014.

Ain't happening. He'll go somewhere that actually has a competition for QB.

Back to the point. Campbell out, Palmer in...microwave society, just like you said.

That is ASSUMING Palmer does not blow his chance. By the way, did you happen to notice, while doing your homework...that Orton was make way more money than Tebow, yet Orton did not perform...and then got released? It happens in the NFL. Just gotta dig a little deeper than just things on the surface.
