ya think? :rofl: I saw this coming from a mile away. It just took me the haltime interview during the BCS CG (the one where he was wearing the african garb and bling bling and could not put enough words together to make up a proper sentence in English) to see that this dude was a loser and was not going to succeed in the NFL. And I am being serious here, what do you think his IQ is? If it's above 50, I would be astonished. I really would.
Give up the ghost and stop defending the guy already. It's over. The guy is a phucking senseless idiot and an ultimate loser of a human being. Accept it for what it is.
Well, he has at least 30 days per Cable: "What it comes down to is that we've got five quarterbacks now and we're going to have a great competition. There will be some decisions to be made here in the next month or so." Tom Cable says JaMarcus Russell can compete with Jason Campbell for Raiders' starting job - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com
I think that's for show, maybe dangle JaMarcus out there to see if anybody would trade for him. He's guaranteed $3 mil. if they cut him, they have to pay him $9 mil. if they keep him this year. Campbell will make about $3 mil this year. You cut JaMarcus, pay him the 3, save his 6 mil you would pay him to keep him for the year, and you pay Campbell's salary for 2 years. I think JaMarcus is outa there. Nobody will pick up his old salary. It'll be free agent time, just like when David Carr left the Houston Texans.
ESPN is now reporting that the Raiduhs are preparing to cut JaMarcus. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/tag/_/name/jamarcus-russell That really doesn't matter to me though. He was a great LSU! QB. :thumb:
So if he's really getting the boot in Oaktown, and will have to settle for the league minimum to get a second chance with anyone, do the Saints give him a call? Payton: "JaMarcus, great to have you here. Like to turn your career around? Drew?....come on over. JaMarcus, meet Drew Brees. J, for the next 3 years, watch this guy and do everything he does." I know, not that simple, and it won't happen, but as a fan who wants the best for former Tigers, it would be cool to see if it would make a difference.
Yeah, it's too bad because he certainly had everything going for him. I have my doubts as to if he can summon the proper motivation after missing it for 3-4 years. Sad but I too will always have fond memories of him gunning it while in P&G.
