JaMarcus gets fired again

This guy is just... wow. I can't understand how people compare Cam Newton to him or anyone to him for that matter. Russell is clearly in a class of his own in terms of being not only a bust, but a first class lazy bum with no drive or motivation.

I just don't understand how someone can be given that kind of opportunity and just not even bother to try to take advantage of it.

What's really a tragedy in cases like this, is I am reminded of a guy in high school named Salim. He was one hell of a football player. Great CB, and probably the best kick returner on the East Coast. And above that, he loved the game, and was one of the hardest workers in practice.

Trouble was, he was 5'4" and got no offers to DI schools. And I kept tabs on his football career in the news. He went to a DII school. And every year I looked for his stats, which were off the charts, especially in returning kicks. But after I graduated college, and I assume he graduated, I haven't heard a thing about him.

I used to feel guilty that I played no sports because I just imagined Salim must have seen me in the halls and thought, "Man, if I had only been built like that guy I could have made it to DI and maybe the NFL! He's wasting that body!"

And that's what I think about guys like Russell. They have all the talent, all the ability, and all the opportunities in the world, but throw away their gifts when guys like Salim who loved the game and worked hard every day of their life never get a chance, and would kill to have a chance at the NFL.

There was a kid named Darrick Wiley who a promising college football prospect, but he had some mental illness issues and reportedly tried to cut off his own penis with hedge clippers. Naturally, NFL teams stayed away from him after that incident.

Sad as JaMarcus story is, I'd have to say that one was worse :eek:

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
