stuckincincy Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 "JaMarcus Russell was reported to have shown up to training camp in March 2010 weighing close to 300 pounds". Wow, wonder if he can play tackle? Goofy list. Mostly QBs, drafted by crap-o teams. I guess this guy had to write something so that he got a paycheck next week... Reminds me of Prisco's run-down of the '07 draft today. He called #2 pick RB Kenny Irons a bust. Dumb choice by CIN, for sure - they had a very useful Rudi Johnson, and hopes for another dumb pick - the oft-injured #1 pick RB Chris Perry. Irons made a cut and tore up his knee ten minutes into his 1st preseason game and never was on the field again. They kept him for a year, then gave him an injury settlement. Shades of Ki-Jana Carter, years ago. They bypassed Tony Boselli for Carter. Too bad about Carter. He ended up playing a bit...without the recurrent injuries, he would have been a big noise. Ran hard, great blocker, receiver, and had that special nose for getting into the EZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lets_go_bills Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 He will be in jail within 5 years. Russell is large and lazy, with no drive, motivation or work ethic, but he is by no means a character concern. He's never been an off-field problem. That was a ignorant thing to say.

Stampede Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 i find it interesting that Bill Walsh called Rick Mirer the "second coming of Joe Montana" wasn't Walsh the one who endorsed Edwards? i could be mistaken. Mirer is number eight of the fifteen first round busts in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastly Dareus Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 He will be in jail within 5 years. Why would you say that? He has never been involved in off the field issues. What are you making that judgement on? Sounds like you are stereotyping him based on his race. If your racist take your racist crap somewhere else. Most ignorant comment I have seen this week.

bartshan-83 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Russell made his name by being huge, throwing the ball a mile and looking good against ND's JV defense in the Sugar Bowl. He was a very good college QB, but he was barely "college accurate" let alone "NFL accurate." He never really had much of a chance in Oakland, but why anyone had high expectations for this guy is beyond me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to jump down your throat, BBC, but it's a quality issue. It's always better when a sarcastic comment is both funny, and discernibly sarcastic. If you had said that Russell will be cut by the Raiders and might be claimed on waivers by Weight Watchers... or that Russell should be traded to the Jets so he could consult with Rex Ryan on a lap-band surgery...

Russell was a first round pick, showed up at camp out of shape and overweight...hey we have a player like that...McCargo previously showed up out of shape and overweight...in fact the Bills fined him for having so many donuts, but he is still on the team - so maybe there is still hope for Russell yet?

Stucky, he's one of the guys I always felt bad for. He did all the things you mentioned above and was dedicated, but damn, when the body gives out on you there is nothing you can do. Especially at such a young age. I never liked when people labeled him, and guys like him as busts. The body breaks and there is nothing you can do about it.
