Clayton: Raiders Camp Confidential
An improved defensive front seven is one of the reasons the Raiders' seven-year streak of 10 or more losses might end in 2010, John Clayton writes. Story

"I really liken this team a great deal to the team of 1980, in which the great Jim Plunkett pulled us out of the doldrums, took us to the Super Bowl as a wild card, and we had so many great players who eventually made their way into the Hall of Fame," Davis said in an interview with Sirius NFL Radio.

He said he sees some Plunkett in Jason Campbell, his new starting quarterback.

"I see this young Jason Campbell as a football player like I saw Jim Plunkett. He has everything. He was 13-0 in college, at Auburn, he can throw up the field, he can run, he's big, he's smart," Davis said. "I really predict great things for him. I hope he doesn't let me down. I don't think he will."

Yeah. For sure.

Al is basing his optimism on his honest belief that Ray Guy, Kenny Stabler, and Art Shell are all going to have career years. He also fervently believes that with Terry Bradshaw, Joe Greene and the gang getting older his Raiders now have the edge over the Steelers. In his mind he can see Richard Nixon handing him the Lombardi trophy at this seasons end.

Apparently if you just get rid of aone of the worst QBs ever than you will go from 5-11 to playoffs. I also like how the organization and others have overrated Jason Campbell to overrate the Raiders

I don't know why, but every time I see Al Davis, I smell mothballs.

Mr. Davis you can be as excited as you want, it isnt going to matter when your team finishes like 4-12.

[vasteeler]

Or Polident.

or the shit in his depends

[SteelMember]

While I'm sure 'ol Al gets more excited by a brisk wind these days, the QB position alone had no place to go except up.

Jason Campbell can only help the cause. He's a much better QB... if you can even call that other guy a QB.

Anyway, Al will probably forget and say the same thing tomorrow. Poor Crypt Keeper.
