JaMarcus Russell named starting QB on video now

Raiders head coach Tom Cable didn't surprise anyone Sunday when he officially named JaMarcus Russell the team's opening day quarterback when Oakland hosts the San Diego Chargers on Sept. 14.
Russell hasn't been fantastic this preseason, but it's hard to lose a job when you don't have any competition for it. The Raiders' backup quarterback, Jeff Garcia, has struggled through a strained calf and a personal matter throughout August.

Russell is a marginal fantasy quarterback, but at least this is one quarterback decision that we won't have to worry about any more. Hopefully Russell starts to look like he deserved to be a No. 1 pick, but he has a long way to go.
