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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
