If this is hard on you, You should have been around here a few years ago when if you said "JR sucks" people would try to gang rape you. fact is he has ALWAYS SUCKED!
Re: Jamarcus Russell Its name is 1950DA and it is a straight up bad a$$. It won't hit for at least another 400 years but unless we figure out a way to alter its course ... you know the rest. Don't ask me how I know this, just believe it. :grin:
I feel bad for JR ALITTLE....he blew the chance to learn how to play the game and make himself into a better player while he was here....95% of the games he won were won in the last minutes of the 4th quarter when his arm strength could get him out of the hole he dug during the game. His mechanics were ALWAYS HORRIBLE at best and you could see that he NEVER seemed to fully grasp the game.....and his work ethic just comes full circle when he knows he did not have a good season last season and instead of getting intense and ready to right the ship he comes into workouts at 300lbs. Dude is worthless and a waste of flesh...God so fit on the day he was born to reach down and give him a thunderbolt for an arm and he has done everything to waste it. Perhaps him and LT can share a jail cell cause I dont see him making it in this world. On second thought I dont feel sorry for him....many people some even on this board would LOVE to be able to have his ability to throw a football he should have appreciated the gift he was given!
i always thought JR's problem at LSU was recognizing coverage, and defensive schemes at the line of scrimmage.
Rightly or wrongly, this is the image of JR in the NC game that left a bad taste in many LSU fans' mouth: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK3k-LLnZ7k[/media]
ah, the infamous dashiki and bama boy elephant piece and chain. I remember thinking to myself when i saw that, i had more respect for Troy Smith for representing his University with a hell of a lot more class than JR did.
Interesting perspective: He isn't really a failure until he's failed for somebody other than Oakland. JaMarcus Russell is no longer a member of the Oakland Raiders, but somebody in the NFL will give him a second chance - ESPN
