Mark Davis need to fire Allen and bring back:
I would shed tears of fukking joy if that happened
Most importantly he needs to fire that fakkit Greg Knapp
The Oakland Raiders have watched their Bay Area neighbors, the San Francisco 49ers, turn Colin Kaepernick loose to rave reviews.
Breer: A position of strength
Colin Kaepernick is the latest to benefit from 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's knack for nurturing QBs, Albert Breer says. More ...
There are least "discussions" about doing the same in Oakland with another second-year quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, according to coach Dennis Allen.
Steve Corkran of ContraCostaTimes.com reported Allen was vague Monday in describing what that might mean -- either under center or in a subpackage -- but the 3-8 Raiders are exploring their options.
"He's working to get better and he's working to improve," Allen said of Pryor. "I've seen improvement in Terrelle. He's gotten better as a quarterback. He's continued to work. I don't think any of us feel like he's the finished product, including himself, but he has worked to improve."
Pryor hasn't played in a game this season, or completed a regular-season pass in his NFL career, but he showed some promise in the preseason. Not enough, of course, to upstage Matt Leinart as Carson Palmer's backup.
Allen, who inherited Pryor and Palmer, would like to see what the younger of the two passers can bring to the table. The days of the long-term project quarterback are gone. Kaepernick and a fleet of rookies have proven that, and it's time for Pryor to make a case for himself, if the Raiders will let him.

There's really no reason for Allen not to use him cause the season is fukked anyway might as well just let Pryor run around & if he sucks it'll only increase our chances of getting a high draft pick
I mean, the season has been frustrating but this is the first time it's people other than Al calling the shots. The son wants to leave his mark no pun, if this team is still garbage after 3-4 years then it's a big problem. The frustrating thing is that there was really no need to change the offense that drastically, especially the run blocking. But fukk it, the roster has needed an overhaul for a long time anyway.
I don't get all the Dennis Allen hate and the chants of bringing back Chucky. There's a REASON Chucky can't get gig and been stuck in the studio for 3+ years.
From what I see out there, the raiders are still playing hard. Coach Allen can't help it if they can't tackle or miss assignments. I find it comical that cats biggest complaint about Dennis Allen is that of his demeanor on the sidelines. LOL @ expecting him to be Hue Jackson and out there cursing out his players and bashing them through the Media... how did that end up for him? Hue will never sniff a head coaching job in the NFL ever again (bold prediction but who gives a fukk about Hue right or wrong)
And let's not try and put all the blame on Greg Knapp... he also inherited a sh.t roster. I look at what the Texans have and cant help but get excited for the future. They didn't make that team overnight, it took several drafts and different free agents.
Worst case is at least Oakland is an essential lock to lose in sports betting. I'm going to win my season ticket money back!
I agree wholeheartedly. the season is over with, lets just see what he can do out there.Terrelle Pryor use discussed by Oakland Raiders - NFL.com

The Raiders are unbelievably bad right now. Say what you want about Al Davis, but whatever succeeded him is worse.
