[traviswade]

dude got drafted first round , first pick out of lsu to oakland raiders in 07 and fouls up their whole season .. but i still think he isnt tht bad of a player . personally i feel like some team should sign him on to a contract . i have faith in him , wat do you guys think ?

 

[put em up]

wont happen...Raiders franchise ruined him. they def reached with drafted him # 1...was anybody really impressed with him at LSU?

kid arm was silly, i remember him throwing 60+ on one knee...

He was very impressive at LSU especially when it mattered and everybody was watching. At the time I don't think he was a reach at #1 at all. We all know what they say about hindsight.

Personally I blame the Raiders organization and coaching staff for his developement (or lack there of) almost as much as I blame Jamarcus.

edit:

A friend of mine sent me this last fall. It's a long read but definitely worth the time for those that care.

The No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft should be out on the fieldcommanding an NFL team this Sunday. JaMarcus Russell, though, is homein Mobile, absorbing shots to his character and resting on what's leftof his $39 million. The most maligned figure in football tells his side

I'm surprised no team has given him a chance yet. I do remember the Raiders trying to acquire as many fast receivers as possible so that he can Hail Mary the ball.

skittles....before beast mode...and really a candy for benchwarmin, not a reward

As an observer of history and as a liver of life, I know that opiates and great wealth can turn the mightest warrior into a fat kitten. Jamarcus Russel may have a great career in the years to come, if he can humble himself and can reject the "sizzurp" from his life.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

He really cared.

 

[stillin729]

doesn't even seem like he's trying to make a comeback

who has the video of Jamarcus Russell tries to speak? 

 

[Hahahaha]

Wasn't impressed with him at LSU and nobody is going to pick him up. Strong arm is all he has, can't move, isn't dedicated, fat, dumb and inaccurate.

 

[xbiker47]

Hasnt this dude been putting on significant weight?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

He moves pretty well for a guy his size when he isn't damn near 300 LB's. If he actually gave a %@!$ he could have done something in the NFL. He ran an NFL like offense @ LSU (he's not really as dumb - football wise - as he is made out to be). No one gets drafted #1 solely on their arm. If that was the case then Ryan Mallet and Jevan Snead would have been #1 picks.

Dude got those millions and stopped caring. Didn't have that good stucture around him like he had in school. Add that to the lean additction and the death of his mentor/person he relied on for guidance and he just spiraled downward.

A friend of mine who works for raiders said. He was always the last one to practice and the first one to leave.

 

[lalph rauren]

That was a good read, he defiantly has been through a lot I was a big fan of him and McFadden but if he does comeback he will out do what alex smith did with his career

Jamarcus russel = Vince young

 

[sorkoram]

Son was actually very talented.. Hated having at LSU, but he definitely had a cannon. I wish he would've done more in the league. If he wanted to, he could probably still sling the pigskin.

 

[asianplayer]

Dude just seems like he doesn't care.

[durden7]

I dont understand how anyone can think he has any potential to be an NFL qb.

 

[mronegative]

he's fully grown Laterian Milton to me. *shrug*

 

[jus3]

If I remember correctly, CLK was completely against drafting him.
