Porter ready for new start in Oakland
MSNBC - 14 hours ago
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Jerry Porter is ready for a new start with the Oakland Raiders.

After a difficult 2006 season when he clashed with coach Art Shell and rarely got on the field, Porter announced Wednesday he is changing his uniform number from 84 to 81 in order to put last season behind him and get off on the right foot with new coach Lane Kiffin.

"For me the new number represents a new start, a new beginning and new attitude,'' he said in a statement released by the team. "I've had multiple meetings with coach Kiffin and I am very excited about the direction of our team and especially our offense. I can't wait to get started.''

Re: Raiders WR Jerry Porter

A new number ain't gonna help this headcase...

Too bad, he has a lot of talent...thought he would be a top flight receiver by now...

Re: Raiders WR Jerry Porter

He must have went to the same head doctor that Albert Belle went to. He went so far as to change his name from Joey to Albert.The doctor told him Joey Belle was the one with all the problems....It didn't work for him either.

And there's really no reason he shouldn't be. Had all the physical tools, but he's been his own worst enemy.

Re: Raiders WR Jerry Porter

Head Case trumps talent almost everytime.
Case in Point for tems who have had physical specimans/tremendous athletes but who were headcases. TO, David Boston, Randy Moss to name three. These guys especially Moss, if they wanted to could be talked about in the same breath as Jerry Rice, the greatest ever. But their head has caused them to ruin their teams. Who cares if he chandges his number, once a head case, always a head case.

If by ruin team you mean "help team reach the playoffs" like TO did...then sure...

A team without talent will never win...a team with talented head cases at least has a shot...

Porter is worth a look...
