Finally gets a start. His QB rating is 24.6 in very limited play this season. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3167941
Good Luck to JR he really blossomed the last yr he was here. May he bust some records in the NFL! :lsup:
We love him, but he's got a long way to go. Sounds like his redshirt freshman season against Florida... http://www.ibabuzz.com/raidersblog/2007/12/24/russell-nowhere-to-go-but-up/ I guess that's one difference between college and pro ball. The head coach doesn't hold his tongue. Man, he puts it right out there.
JR was over-rated QB. Not worthy of the first overall pick. He needs time to develop, but unless he loses he selfish attitude he never will. He kept LSU from winning at least a conference title if not more. Remember '06 Auburn last 30 seconds...never better example of just how stupid he was...his arm bailed him out in many college games most times...it never will in the pros Hodson, Rabb, Jones, Ensminger/Woodley duo, Stokely, and Tittle are all hands down better and Mauck, Flynn, Rabb, Davey can be argued to be better than him...remember college play only.
Another off the wall post, you are on a roll. I will always question your knowledge of football. You must think a majority of the NFL has no clue what they are doing.:huh: If you followed JR, you would know how wrong you are about him being selfish. The Raiders were trying to get him to sign a contract with little to no protection for injuries and if he did sign the 1st contract drafted he would have been moron. He has family to support and an uncle who is need of medical care.
