I don't understand all the talk surrounding him. If he sucked 3 years ago, what makes you think he's going to be any better after he's been away from football so long?

Because he had mad potential. The only thing holding him back was immaturity, laziness and being in a terrible organization. Now fast forward 4 years later and he seems to have lost the laziness and immaturity and skys the limit for him now.

Not only that but he is the poster child for low risk/high reward player. A team could sign him for the vet minimum for a QB with tons of upside that is only 27 years old.

Here, let me put it this way. Brandon Weeden was a 1st round pick and hes 30 years old (or close to it) now if you are a NFL GM. What is more appealing, signing Brandon Weeden to 7 million after drafting him in the 1st round, or getting a new, improved Jamarcus Russell with tons of upside (pass 70 yds on one knee) for pennies?.

It takes work to be an nfl qb. He never put that in before but his ceiling was unlimited. He should get a shot as some teams third string. I'd love for him to replace jimmy next year.

Does a WR with a fast 40 have an unlimited ceiling? To me Russell was the QB equivalent of that....just a big arm. All the other aspects you look for just never stood out

      Trade Chuba?

      Just like WR, you thin ignite and then suffer an injury and you are scrambling.  Any RB could have run through some of those those holes though and maybe you don’t get the same xtra yards but you are getting yardage.  It is the pass catching they will miss the most.

      Without Sanders, they are stil catching balls. Sanders is about a giveaway to it will be a pass play.   Also, hoping we see the competition at RB keep both guys on their toes.

      I was talking about pre season hype vs now.  They were talking about him being the best route runner on the team and being unguardable.  Putting people in the blender.  He has had 1 catch the last two games, and before that it was 2 per game. I like Renfrow, but it seems him and Bryce are not on the same page.
