Is SHSU's Josh McCown ready to take the lead of the Raiders? He's had his shot to be a leader before and was canned by a coach who didn't realize that McCown was actually leading them to the promised land. When will the Raiders put their prized rookie in? Is that another year away?

McCown eager to lead
Oakland Raiders Training Camp

Josh McCown wasn’t in town more than a few minutes Thursday when he said, “I’m here to compete and help this team and hopefully bring some consistency to the quarterback position. I’m going to work as hard as I can and do everything I can to help this team be successful.”
Nothing has changed for McCown two days into training camp with the Oakland Raiders — not his mindset, nor the way he runs the offense, nor the way he works on the practice field at Redwood Middle School or in the meeting room at the Napa Valley Marriott.
While everyone else had left the field following Friday afternoon’s first practice, there was McCown, a six-year veteran wearing a quarterback’s red jersey, getting in some extra running and looking to stay as sharp as possible as he grasps a new system.
