Monday's Question of the Day

In light of a friend's text message to me yesterday declaring the Oakland Raiders "relevant again", I pose to you Monday's question of the day.

Have you seen enough out of the 4-12 Raiders to make you think they are on the climb back to contention?

Please comment with answers!

My answer to Friday's Question: Forget about slide or don't slide. The problem here is that the coaching staff has no trust in the franchise quarterback. The color coded situation system, the emphasis on when to slide, the idea that he must be protected for year's to come is terrifying. To be the face of the franchise, the kid has to accomplish something, which he hasn't done yet. The team has to be able to trust him and they clearly don't. I'm not saying that the coaching staff has done a bad job, I think there is clear concern about is ability to make decisions on his own. Rex Ryan calling him out won't help that, the kid just has to learn or else the Jets are in for a long standing bust.
