The Raiders are such a clown show, it's possible Stidham and/or the 3rd stringer (sorry dude I don't know who you are) get hurt against the 49ers and they need him to play in the last week. That sort of cluster-f would be very on-brand for Failson Davis and company.

This is a very "be careful what you wish for" situation, which many NFL teams screw up, sometimes repeatedly. Every team that doesn't have a top 10 or top 15 QB wants to get rid of their QB in favor of someone better. The getting rid of part is easy. The getting a better new one part is hard.

What's the plan? Who is the new guy? Are you sure you are going to get him, that no other team will swoop in ahead of you? Davis and McDaniels probably don't have a good answer to those questions at the moment.
