That right there is why none of us should worry about the poo they say about Clausen.

My favorite one:

"JaMarcus Russell is going to immediately energize that fanbase, that football team -- on the practice field, in that locker room. Three years from now you could be looking at a guy that's certainly one of the elite top five quarterbacks in this league. ...You're talking about a 2-3 year period once he's under center. Look out because the skill level that he has is certainly John Elway-like."

- Mel Kiper"

lol.

Well, he was spot on with the bolded parts. I mean, neither of them lasted very long but still. :P

hindsight is 20/20 can we please now all look at what all the huddlers said about Eric Shelton and Dwayne Jarrett?

were they the #1 overall pick?

and the difference there is the huddlers are just football fans, talking about players their team drafted. these guys CAREERS revolve on analyzing players, this was just a hilarious failure.

I dont know why everyone is laughing. Kiper raved even more about Jimmy Cluasen than any other QB coming out of the draft in recent history. This should make people worry since Kiper is obviously an idiot right?

nah. it just proves that no one can accurately predict how a player will do.

it's just a funny article.

Truthfully though, if Jamarcus had not gotten lazy and fat, his cieling was very high.

He had a cannon arm, decent to good accuaracy, huge frame, and was still pretty mobile. Unfortuanately the only attribute that he improved upon in the NFL was his huge frame.

Mike Mayock, NFLN:

"This year, I can't get over how good and talented JaMarcus Russell is. It just blew me away. If I had the first, second, third, fourth, fifth pick in that draft, I would be tearing apart his personal life trying to figure out whether or not I could trust this kid with $10-million ... From a physical skill set perspective, I've never seen a college quarterback with more ability than Russell. You put the tape on and it's frightening. The only thing that's going to keep [Russell] from being great is him. What it comes down to is you've got to figure out whether or not this kid wants to be the best quarterback in football. If he wants to be the best quarterback in football, he can be."

He needs to lose 40-50 lbs. and get his head in the game. hes such an idiot and it pisses me off a bit. He got paid all that money and didn't do anything to help himself. fat lard. maybe getting cut will teach him something. I just hope no one overpays him

Too true. Russell has everything you want in a QB, he's only missing the desire to play QB.

it didn't do anything. he had an interview with NFL network after the cut, and sounded like he didn't give a poo. he said he was going to 'take a break' from professional football. take a break from what? he was a backup half the season, and training camp hasn't even started.

he is everything that's wrong with professional sports.

edit- yup, Mayock is once again proving why he's the smartest analyst out there. no idea why he isn't working for some front office, he would get millions.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
