Title says it all. But this is the day we've all been waiting for. This weekend the Raiders will play the San Diego Chargers with Terrelle Pryor at the helm.

Who?
The Raider's offense is just
horrible - he couldn't do any worse. I am a little shocked at how bad Matt Leinart has become. I saw him play in high school and thought he would be a superstar.
Please, please, please...
mean the return of TPryor to the MGoBoard.
Go Blue!

i can't imagine how this is
i can't imagine how this is possible, but good for him I guess.
Big Ten QBs have been cashing in the second half of this season. Henne for a while now, Cousins for a couple solid weeks, and this weekend we'll see Hoyer and Pryor. Add this to Brady, Wilson and Brees, and the NFL has quote a few Big Ten QBs getting starts this year. Am I missing anyone? Has Orton started at all this year?
Well, it's possible because
Well, it's possible because Carson Palmer got injured and Matt Leinart is just that bad. Oh yeah, and they're playing for nothing so they might as well use the game for evaluation purposes.
I understand how Carson
I understand how Carson Palmer got injured, but I can't imagine how Pryor is even comparable to Leinart of how he's on a pro roster to begin with.
They drafted him, they should see if he can play
I wouldn't have drafted him, but then again I would haven't Jamarcus Russell either. On the other hand, Pryor was a third round pick in the supplemental draft and Russell was the first overall choice.
According to Wikipedia Pryor was Al Davis' last draft choice.
Where's Charlie Bauman when you need him?
Just because you drafted him
Just because you drafted him doesn't mean you should play him.
Russell was totally different. He was a great college QB who looked to have all of the tools to be a good pro, he just stopped trying at one point. Pryor is just an athlete, but has never looked like a great QB.
They're 4-11 and Palmer is out
What do they have to lose? If he stinks they can put Leinart in for the second half. It's not like Leinart has shown anything in the NFL, either.
Where's Charlie Bauman when you need him?
Look, I'm not saying it's
Look, I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad decision by the Raiders. I'm just saying that there are a lot of things that have to happen for a guy like Terrell Pryor to start for an NFL team, and I'm surprised that they all have.
Fair enough
To be honest, I thought Pryor would be a backup tight end in Oakland or a second-string quarterback in Saskatchewan. It should be interesting to see how he does, in a Tim Tebow/Ryan Leaf sort of way.
Where's Charlie Bauman when you need him?
I totally agree.
I totally agree.
Last week
The Chargers had 11 sacks against the Jets.
I hope they have at least 12 this game, a bakers dozen or more would be great too, TP is short for toilet paper.
Wait, where is former Hesiman
Wait, where is former Hesiman winner Troy Smith on your list?
Oh, that's right...bwahahahaha.
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!

This, along with the
This, along with the Lionesque performance of the Raiders this year is really making it hard for me to be a Raider fan. I can't root for Leinart or Pryor under any circumstances.
Oh, so this is the year that
Oh, so this is the year that crossed the line?
Surprisingly yes, never
Surprisingly yes, never thought they would get worse after Al Davis.
So when was the last time it
So when was the last time it was considered good to be a Raiders fan?
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
Well I had to pick between
Well I had to pick between the Lions and the Raiders, so it was a really hard choice.
What were your circumstances
What were your circumstances that those were your options?
Grew up in West Michigan, but
Grew up in West Michigan, but moved to Oakland 7 years ago. Can't watch the Lions out here, though you can't really watch the Raiders either with all the blackouts.
Then that shouldn't be that
Then that shouldn't be that tough of a choice. I also grew up in West Michigan and moved out here 6 years ago, but I've never considered switching my loyalties. Lions, Wings, Pistons, TIgers all the way. You don't switch who you cheer for just because you move.
Well I can see why you would
Well I can see why you would stick with the Lions as LA doesn't have a local NFL team, but seriously, having and NFL, MLB and NBA team withing a 10 minute BART ride (as well as niners and giants accross the bridge) its hard not to go to games and get into the local teams. Last time I went to a Lions game they played at the Silverdome.
I see your point about
I see your point about football (although I could be a Chargers fan) but I've been to a number of Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers and Kings games and I'm still a fan of my team. I know lots of people who have lived in CA for 20+ years and they're still a fan of the team where they're from. You don't switch your loyalty just because it's inconvenient.
"They let you choose any name you want."
"And you landed on 'McLovin'?"
"Yeah, it was between that and Mohammed."
"Why the fuck would it be between that and Mohammed? Why didn't you just pick a common name?"
"Mohammed is the most common name on Earth, read a fucking book."

who is looking forward to recycling this quote in new and snarky ways?
If there was ever a quote
If there was ever a quote that called for this response, that was the one:
Cant wait for the press conference
After the chargers kill him, does he stick up for the chargers, citing that"everybody's not a perfect person in the world, everybody kills people, murders people."
I wonder
If Ohio blogs did this when Henne was tabbed starter a few weeks back.
Bo' Money Bo' Problems
Hardly the same thing. Henne
Hardly the same thing. Henne has been a starter before, and has been the clear back up all season before the injury.
and besides...
how can anyone hate a robot?
Guess who has the Chargers
Guess who has the Chargers defense for Fantasy Football ... yes sirrrr. After racking up a TD & 11 sacks on the Jets, now this. I might win the consolation playoffs after all.
So you're saying
Take the Chargers and give the points?

normally yes, but...
Norv Turner is the head coach on the opposite sideline.
Is Al Davis still alive?
Is Al Davis still alive? WTH.

Desperation, thy name is Pryor. Maybe they call the Jets about Tebow.
