I hear you. I've been wondering for 3 years now why the Raiders
have kept Wilson.

On the other hand, the Raiders are 11-2 this year with Wilson starting.
For the last few games he seems to be connecting on the bomb more
frequently. I think he is getting better (he couldn't have gotten much
worse). As I recall, Ken Stabler looked pretty godawful when he first
started for the Raiders. Luckily, George Blanda was sitting on the bench
at the time just waiting to pull off a miracle after Stabler had blown
the game.

I think keeping Wilson around is Al Davis' way of keeping the NFL
interesting. A real quarterback combined with Marcus Allen  would
make the NFL a pretty boring place (unless you're a Raiders fan).
