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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
