H2o Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 This guy is going to have as many weapons this year as anyone else in the league. C'mon now, Moss, Porter, Curry, Anderson is a decent TE, and Lamont Jordan is good out of the backfield. He better perform or his career is more than likely over I believe. What do the rest of you think? He's had 2 very lack-luster performances in the preseason so far and Walter has played relatively well. He could very well end up being benched after the first couple of weeks if his performance isn't up to Art's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was crap last night and last week. Another week of that and I bet they go with Walter as the starter despite his 2 picks last night. That TD pass he threw was nice, him and Morant have their timing down. I'd like to see Walter get a chance with Moss and Gabriel both in the line up.

Dr. Trooth Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 He had a pretty good supporting cast in NO. Deuce, Horn, Stallworth. Yeah... I'd say he's at a crossroads of sorts. I think he has a little better balance of talent with Oakland. If he ends up sucking... most of it will be his fault... unless Moss pulls a TO.

smokinandjokin Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 That division is very tough. Brooks is good enough to lead the Raiders to a 4th place finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 ... unless Moss pulls a TO. 743674[/snapback] Which can happen more easily than I think most people realize. Whether it was Suzy Kolber iterating Moss' comments re: Martin or just watching him in Brooks' grill on the sideline, you get the sense Moss isn't happy with the situation. Five minutes after their grillfest, Brooks bombs one to Moss, but led him outside. Then Brooks stands on the sideline commenting that everyone needs to improve...including line play. It was interesting to me because when she asked him "What does this team need to do to improve right now?" the best answer Brooks could have given was "Let's start with completing a pass." He went the other way. I suspect he's on the bench much sooner than he thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Walter may be a good pick-up as a back-up QB on the fantasy football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
