The Facts:
Campbell might have done enough to win back the starting quarterback job for the Raiders even after Bruce Gradkowski recovers from a separated shoulder.

Just last week coach Tom Cable said the quarterback situation was “clear cut” and Gradkowski would be the starter when he was healthy. But Cable backtracked Monday and said he might stick with Campbell, who just led Oakland to its first three-game winning streak since 2002. “I really haven’t wavered, but I do have a belief in me about, you know, when you’re dealing it and you got the hot hand, and things are going in the right direction for your football team, you know, why would you make a change?” Cable said. The coach went on to suggest he might announce his decision next Monday when he has a better grasp of Gradkowski’s health, but it’s clear which way it’s looking when the Raiders return from the bye to face Pittsburgh Nov. 21. “I’m probably leaning toward staying with the hot hand," Cable said. "That’s just where I’m at.”
