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.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
