http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1590187-jamarcus-russell-comeback-2013-jamarcus-hits-the-gym He is down to 280 lbs from 315 lbs in Feb with a target weight of 265 lbs. I have to admit im pulling for the guy, according to NFL.com he is already drawing interest from a few teams. Dont get me wrong, a lot of his failing is his own fault but lets not forget, he was drafted by the Raiders, where young promising QBs go to die.

I know this isnt Panther related, but its been very slow news day today and came across this and thought I would post. What do you guys think? Anyone else rooting for this guy or am I just crazy? His only crime was being lazy and immature, other NFL players have done way worse and bounced back.

I find myself rooting for him to make a comeback as well. Are they still televising his comeback training? I caught like the 1st two, and he looked horribly inaccurate with a ton of his throws. Also, I would like to see him get down in the 245-255 range weight wise. He looked big as a house and awkward when I saw him the 1st few episodes.

I bet my cat he doesn't get signed.

Im not so sure about that. He has perfect timing considering this is one of the worst QB draft classes in awhile, a lot of teams are desperate for a QB and there is just such limited supply of them now. Name a FA QB now that has the potential and arm of a 255 lb motivated Jamarcus Russell with something to prove. Ryan Fitzpatrick? John Skelton? I cant think of any.

Also, what risk would a team have bringing him to training camp and see what he has. Guy has a cannon of a arm. Dont be suprised to see a team like the Jets show interest. Wouldnt be suprised if Chud would show interest in Cleveland either

I would move to have Russell as Cam's backup. The dude has legit potential and a huge arm. He was a beast at LSU. He didn't fail himself. Oakland failed him. No one is going to succeed in Oak. Look at how many great college players that went into Oakland and failed. A lot, and Floyd may just be one of them 3 weeks from now.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
