Raiders Need Some Quarterback Rebuilding

Over the years, your so-called football expert, Bob Oates, has astounded us with his off-the-wall attempts to be insightful and analytical. I am a die-hard 49er fan and I resent the use of the word collapse in regard to the 49ers by Mr. Oates. Collapse should be reserved for the Rams, or for the performance of the Raiders in Buffalo. You don’t go 14-2, lose to a great team by two points and win four Super Bowls in nine years, and then call it a collapse.
