Oakland Raiders quarterback Bruce Gradkowski has been named the full-time starter by coach Tom Cable, who called it an “easy decision.” JaMarcus Russell started the first nine games, but he now is the No. 2 until further notice.

“Just felt like he would give us the best chance to win, and we need to get to playing better offensively and win football games,” Cable said.

Cable said the change is not “week to week” but that this is where the Raiders are headed. Cable added that he is impressed with what Gradkowski brings to the table and wants to give him time to jell with the receivers.

“I just think his leadership, his management, understanding of what we’re trying to do… accuracy,” Cable said. “Just a lot of those intangible-type things, and give him a chance to get all the reps and go out and build some chemistry with the receivers.”
