JaMarcus Russell never watched film in Oakland

[blue_suns]

Not like it wasn't obvious.....

JaWalrus. Worthless POS.

 

[The Derski]

I laughed when I read that but I’m also curious as to why this info is coming out now. He retired almost 10 years ago. Random.

What a fucking disaster. Al Davis was clearly senile when he drafted this beached whale.

I don't get pro GMs, coaches and scouts that get excited when some player has an outstanding college bowl game and draft that player 2-3 rounds higher than he should have been drafted.

Its the body of work, not a lucky bowl performance that should prevail in these evaluations.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Yea the timing of this makes zero sense... Nobody cares. Raiders are still a dumpster fire.

+1 for resurrecting JaMarcus Russell for continued scorn.

Gruden probably wants him for a comeback.

Gruden probably wants him for a comeback.

He'd just cut him next Tuesday anyway

 

[SteelersPride]

[NinerSickness]

Bust. Called it.

Actually this came out long ago, so I'm not sure why now. Guessing the growth in Social Media so it had to be bumped to the front of the line.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

wouldnt surprise me.
Give a youngster 50+mil. without ever playing a down in the NFL & treat him like a hero even though he has never played a down in the NFL.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Uh, that was disclosed in like his rookie year? Either way IMO this guy is a hero. Somehow put it together for a couple years in his teens/early 20s and duped a retarded NFL organization out of 10s of millions. This guy is a legend in my book. Blessed with genes, took advantage, cashed in, and gets to lay around 24/7 smoking weed and playing video games.

Everyone considers Russell to be the biggest bust of all time in the NFL, I consider him 100% hall of fame. He even pulled it off prior to the new CBA. Legend status.

Exactly ... we knew this info 10 years ago ... why is this being brought back up ...

 

[Inquisitor95]

Perfect case study about an athlete who may have lots of talent and physical attributes that everybody desires. But without the work ethic and drive to succeed, it still doesn't matter.

 

[tabascojet]

mmmm purple drink.....

 

[Iggloo]

I care! I thought this was the best story ever. Imagine those coaches when they realized this.

I heard about it back then, shortly after that coaching staff was pushed out. The coaches tested him and he failed.

 

[CaptainStubing]

am I in a time warp and it's 2009 again?

Exactly! And my other hero is Buster Douglas. He was sitting around with his boys and said 'I think I can beat Mike Tyson'. Trained for a few months and got in the ring with an overconfident, out of shape Tyson and actually did win...then proceeded to get as fat as he possibly could for his title defense. Dude was close to 4 bills by the time he stopped fighting but he got a then record 24 mil in his fight after Tyson and he clearly did no training what-so-ever for that.
