    Only other QB I can think of with JR type of size is Jared Lorenzen. But he is all fat.

    I really believe that Russell can throw the ball from endzone to endzone if he tries to, like in practice or something, no pads, no defense, nothing, just let him take a few steps back and let 'er rip. Russell actually can throw 60-70 yds (adding the yards where he actually threw the ball from) in a game with a defender hanging on him and on the run with a flick of his wrist (Actually happened like 2-3 times THIS season). As I said people, forget about the old legends, people remember them in a special way, but Russell HAS the strongest arm!!

    The preferred nomenclature is really, really big boned. :)

    Culpepper with the Dolphins is 6' 4" and 265, a bit shorter and a bit heavier.

    But folks, Culpepper is bulked up like a RB!! Coach Martinez said that Russell from waist up is bigger than most DEFENSIVE TACKLES!! He also said that if Russell JUST works out his legs he'll be easily 300 pounds!!

    One thing that i noticed that is kind of interesting. When you match up JR and Big Baby, Glen is a lot bigger than JR. He's about 6'7" 290 compared to JR 6'5" and 255. For some reason I always thought of JR being a lot bigger than Glen. And to think, he used to be a RB in HS at 350 pounds....

    LSU's Bert Jones had a hell of an arm.

    That's a serious man crush you got. :lol:

    In time, I think Russell will carve his own signature in NFL history. Right now I gotta' go with Randall Cunningham and even though he never made it, Jeff George.
