The Facts:
When asked if McCown was still his starting quarterback during Monday's press conference, HC Lane Kiffin said, "Yes."
Reported by the Oakland Tribune
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
There is, not surprisingly, a great deal of fan sentiment behind the notion of making the switch to No. 1 pick JaMarcus Russell, but Kiffin isn't ready to make that move. According to Tribune staffer Jerry McDonald, the reason Russell is not playing has as much to do with his present supporting cast as it does his inability to handle the offense. It's the curse of being the No. 1 overall pick: You get the big money and go to the worst team. It sounds as if Russell won't get any meaningful work until Kiffin is comfortable enough with him as the No. 2 rather than No. 3 QB.
