About Ezra »

I've been in California all my life, and I love it here. I've been an Oakland Raiders fan since I was 4. A Lakers fan since I was born, even though I don't write about them on here. I'm just more passionate when it comes to the NFL and the Raiders. I love to write, but mainly just about sports. I guess that's why I'm here. =). I enjoy debates as long as the other guy knows what he's talking about haha. I'm a die hard Raiders fan and I can name the whole offensive /defensive lineup without really thinkng LOL. I take pride in my articles and I hope to one day rank among the top NFL writers for Bleacher Report. I'm not afraid to speak my mind but I'll apologize if I say something stupid. Alright so read my articles and beome a fan....!!!

    I think the Raiders have much more pressing issues to worry about than whether to start Russell or Gradkowski. After all, they've had several quarterback experiments...

    I think Gradowski is the answer for this season but not after this season. The Raiders should pick up a guy like David Carr this offseason...

    Russell got tossed in the game too early instead of sitting and learning a few years hope he isn't damaged because he has the tools

    New Article: Oakland Raiders: Is Bruce Gradkowski The Answer At Quarterback?

    The Gradkowski-led Raider upset the Cincinatti Bengals today. He played an okay game, but a win is a win. Also this is his first start in a while, so his stats are pretty good, considering it...
