Now that we're a full quarter of the way through the NFL season, it's time to take stock of my beloved Raiders.

The only real question left to ask is if Michael Vick will be our starting QB next year or will it be Brady Quinn? A closer inspection is required.

VICK:
Well, to get Vick the Raids would have to make another trade which gives them the opportunity to vastly overpay for something again, (Seymour, R., Brown, L.) so that's a plus. I see a 5 year, 60 million dollar deal, heavily frontloaded and guaranteed. Vick also has the rifle arm and no accuracy, so check and check.

There are some potential roadblocks though. After Al Davis traded the Raiders 2011 first round pick to the Patriots for a long snapper and ball tee, I'm not sure they have enough picks to entice the Eagles into a trade. Unless Andy Reid is eyeballing that 2015 second round conditional. Secondly, Vick is a loser. Al Davis like to take past winners who are washed up and try to recapture glory. Aside from being a dog fighting champion and successful spreader of herpes, I don't think Mexico . . . . er. . . Vick has many trophies on the shelf.

QUINN:
Quinn has the upside of being a total castoff that nobody wants. he got benched in Cleveland for Gods sake. Time for a Plunkett revival! He would certainly come cheap, important for the NFL's least valuable team. Quinn doesn't have any arm to speak of which is bad for the 1960's era playbook the Cable Guy runs but he does have one thing that makes him a near lock to end up in silver and black.

Notre Dame. The Golden Dome. Al Davis loves anybody who played for Notre Dame, even if they suck. Especially if they have a Heisman. Or were mentioned for a Heisman. It's like talent evaluating with Beano Cook.

OUTLOOK: Who Will QB the Raiders in 2010?
Vick - 3:1
Quinn - 5:2
Ron Powlus - 10:1
Jason Campbell - 21:1
Jeff George - 2:7
JaMarcus Russell - off the board

ODDS AND ENDS:
Good effort JaMarcus, now lose 20 pounds and start working in at right tackle.

Can we put to rest the idea that Darren McFadden is an elite talent? He's an injury prone fumble machine who can't work inside the hashes. He's a poor mans Reggie Bush. A POOR MANS REGGIE BUSH!!! He'll be porking Alexis Arquette within the next few weeks, lock it down.

Brett Favre looks like Harry Dean Stanton in Red Dawn.

Aaron Rodgers looks like a man who fully supports a Logans Run type rule for NFL quarterbacks.

Now we know who wears the pants in Tom Brady's house. Nobody.

You only need one thing to make Southern Comfort delicious. A glass.

Or a really long straw.

Adrian Peterson reminds me of a running back who has some big games then disappears.

Why do some bottles of Jack Daniels havea green labels? Is there some form of awesome that I'm unaware of?

C.C. Sabathia could be JaMarcus Russell's half brother.

When I see fourth fourth rounder Louis Murphy outplaying Darius Heyward-Bey badly, it makes me go to the dark place for sad time. Maybe trading those first round picks is a good move after all.

Javon Walker? Anybody?
