Somewhere else to get rich & not perform

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Rick Mirer signed with the Oakland Raiders on Saturday, the former Notre Dame quarterback's sixth NFL team in nine seasons.

Mirer, 32, spent most of the past two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers as a backup to Jeff Garcia.

Mirer was the second overall pick in the 1993 draft by the Seattle Seahawks and went on to earn rookie of the year honors that season with 274 completions, 486 attempts and 2,883 passing yards.

He spent four seasons with the Seahawks before joining the Chicago Bears in 1997. He played for the Green Bay Packers in 1998 and the New York Jets in 1999 before going to the 49ers.

Mirer, a three-year starter for Notre Dame, has passed for 10,702 yards and 47 touchdowns over his career, including a career-high 13 touchdowns in 1995.

I'm not really sure how the Raisers are shaping up so far. Gonna have to get used to this new coach as well.

Mirer is one of the many reminders of how bad of a talent evaluator Wanny was here in Chicago. He was barely better than Moses Moreno!

BTW, what's one of Wanny's other major picks doing these days? I haven't heard anything about Curtis Enis since he left, is he in the arena league or out of football entirely or what? To think Mirer and Enis were Wanny's idea of a good future QB-RB combo. Dumbass.
