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.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
