Is there a succession plan for ownership of the Raiders?

I always remember him for his feuds with Mike Shanahan and Marcus Allen, and breaking racial barriers in the NFL.

I think the Chiefs would have given them a battle for last place, but switching to Tebow now gives Denver the edge. The NFL is a passing league, and the Broncos now have a starting QB who looks terrible throwing the ball. The Lions did not fold under the spotlight of MNF. The Bears, with 9 false start penalties, did. The Lions defensive line should get some credit for those false starts, though. They were all over Cutler throughout the game. The Bears did not match up well there -- a poor offensive line, with an offensive scheme that requires a great OL, versus an excellent defensive line. I do not know how Cutler is going to survive the season with Martz calling the shots. So, this is what 5-0 looks like in the NFL!

What happened to Brady Quinn? I thought he was their #2, in front of Tebow? Did he suddenly turn invisible?RobertR said:Looks like Kyle Orton has played himself out of a job. Let's see what Tebow can do.
It was never officially announced who was number 2 and 3. Quinn (and Orton) looked better in practice than Tebow, which made it confusing. I don't know if Tebow will develop into a good quarterback, I just know Orton isn't.Malcolm R said:What happened to Brady Quinn? I thought he was their #2, in front of Tebow?
