    How do you suppose he isn't a good leader? How many comeback wins did we have this year? ASU, Florida, Auburn, Bama? Who was the QB in all those games?

    True. I guess you proved me wrong on the "no brains" opinion. My main point is that I don't believe Russell will improve his game. I hope he proves me wrong and becomes the greatest QB LSU has ever had, but again I don't see it.

    That is just my opinion. I didn't make this thread to argue, I just wanted to hear everyone else's opinion on it.

    The correct answer is JaMarcus Russell.

    The most critical thing I can say about Russell is the lack of a good field of vision. Too many times he failed to see receivers who werre wide open. But as far as his ability to read defenses and make adjustments, I see no problem.

    Florida wasn't a comeback game. We held on for deal life in that one.

    YEAR CMP ATT YDS CMP% YPA LNG TD INT SACK RAT
    2004 73 144 1053 50.7 7.31 42 9 4 13 127.19
    2005 188 311 2443 60.5 7.86 50 15 9 21 136.56

    I would call those stats significant improvement. Still don't see what your basing your opinion on.

    True. Mauck single handedly kept that game from being an LSU blowout.

    Sorry, but I can't let you off the hook that easily. Do you just have a gut feeling or is there something you've seen that tells you he has reached his max potential, cause I gotta tell you; I'm seeing a guy that has barely scratched the surface of his potential.
