Russell is having a horrible season thus far. Probably the worst starting QB in the league, and I say that knowing two starters (Quinn and Leftwich) have already been benched. Russell's numbers thus far:
41% completion percentage, 1 TD, 4 INTs, 5 yards per attempt, 39.7 rating
That rating is basically what you'd get if you threw nothing but incompletions. Pretty bad stuff. So you might say, well maybe the Raiders should bench Russell. But then you remember that the backup had a game like this last year:
5-16, 18 yards, 2 INTs
That was Bruce Gradkowski last year against the Steelers. These are the Oakland Raiders' QBs for this season (and don't forget about Charlie Frye). I would have to say this is an early contender for worst collection of QBs an NFL team has had in awhile. Not even the Raiders collection of QBs in 2006, with Aaron Brooks and Andrew Walter, was this bad.
Another ridiculous fact about the Raiders thus far this season: starting WR Darrius Heyward-Bey has 1 reception. 1 reception in 3 games from a starting receiver; that is unreal.
