Quick out: Raiders cut newly acquired QB George

[G. Host]

But the release of George might not necessarily end his comeback attempt and, in fact, may have simply been a procedural move by the Raiders, aimed at not having to guarantee his full salary.

Raiders are being smart or dumb, not sure which.

Snips on Raiders and George:

Why did Raiders owner Al Davis find it necessary to drag in Jeff George during the final week of the preseason? Clearly, someone -- Davis, offensive coordinator Tom Walsh, perhaps coach Art Shell -- isn't comfortable with Aaron Brooks. Is this because Brooks refuses to publicly kiss Randy Moss' well-salaried behind and will not promise the Raiders' top receiver unlimited looks and catches?

They signed Jeff George...I'm betting on dumb.

Dumb for signing him, smart for releasing him.

But if all a "smart" move accomplishes is compensating for a previously made "dumb" move, how smart is it really?
