The Andrew Luck Sweepstakes -- Week 5 Update

Usually I try to write a short intro. Since my wife and I just had a baby yesterday, I didn’t have time. Sorry. Still, I managed to plow through the rankings! Let’s see how things look after Week 5:

Dropped Out:
Oakland Raiders
Current Record:  3-2Last Game:  Won 25-20 at HoustonCurrent Starter:  Jason CampbellLast Game:  15-35, 190YDS, 2TD, 1INT, 67.6 QB Rating
Summary:  It doesn’t feel right to have a contest for bad teams and not include the Raiders. Aren’t we kind of sullying the recent memory of Al Davis by dropping them out? Is there any way I can justify keeping them in? Well, after last week’s shocking victory over Houston, the answer is no. At 3-2, the Raiders look far too competent to have any real chance at landing Andrew Luck. That’s a shame since the franchise is probably one real QB away from being a legit contender. With a strong nucleus of young talent and the surprising development of their young receivers, a guy like Luck could take them places. Jason Campbell? Well, he can take just far enough to wave goodbye to Luck, but not far enough to accomplish anything worthwhile. Still, we must say our sad farewell to Oakland.
