I really really wish that jamarcus would turn out to be good. i want him as a raider again. 3rd string and develop him, how we should have done in the first place.BRING JAMARCUS BACK. if he really wants to be a pro hes going to have to step up. he has the physical attributes, but his mind needs to be there too
i honestly believe this was russell's only highlight in his nfl career. he very well may be the worst quarterback in nfl history. good in college, terrible in pros
I'm sure he made some pretty bad throws on this drive too. All the good highlights are what is shown. I can't stand Russell. I already disliked him when he held out for so long on his rookie year. Russell doesn't try hard enough. He overthrows his receivers by 10 yards and he doesn't even take responsibility for it. He is selfish. He just cares about the money.
Oh well. It's not a big deal though. Someone else will replace him, that's for sure. Oakland should have kept Garcia last year.
See You just got to give time and belief in Russell. We need a better Offensive Line and we would be able to pass better. C'mon russell can throw the ball down the field 50 yards sitting down. hes good he just needs good protection and more time to Adjust.
the guys 24, most of the people dawgin him, will love him once he starts playin good. you guys are haters. Give the man a chance, he cant throw to himself when hes gettin sacked.
people defending jamarcus russell are idiots and this is coming from a die hard raiders fan. are you people to blinded by your homerism you can't see this guy is absolute trash? and soma27, he did not have a good college career, he was horrendous in college as well. he had 3 stud receivers to throw to, two future 1st rd picks in bowe and davis and a 2nd rd pick in doucet and he couldn't get them the ball.
lol al davis and lol at delusional "raiders fans" defending this clown.
youre a moron and i cant let people talk about my qb like that. Do you notice how craig davis never play for sd? he was a first round pick because he had jamarcus throwing to him. btw Early Doucet was a 3rd round pick. and talk to me once you become the first overall pick... yeah that must be a horrible college career... cause thats not where people judge draft stock...
wtf are you talking about how are we idiots for defending him? ur right he did have stud wrs and a o-line but he needs a qb coach for him to succeed its not all his fault if hes had 3 diff. coaches in 4 years
soma27 --shut the fuck up why d fuk r u watching raiders videos ur A HATER ..so wat if he suks go watch some pats videos n u shouldnt be a waggon hopper lame ass(PATS) ...N GO RAIDERS LAMES LIKE THIS MAKE OUR RAIDERS NATION EVEN BIGGER CUS THEY ALWAYS HAVE OUR NAME IN HEIR MOUTHS..
Im not a hater im just not retarded. And being a fan for over 10 years does not make you a bandwagoner. Jesus Christ like i know Raiders fans are blind, and im not even trying to be mean but as Burman would say, C'MON MAN, look how much better they were with Gradkowski, that show a real qb plays not this lazy retard.
i agree lol pretty hard to be a bandwagon raider fan recently... i think anyone that has those words come out of their mouth makes them a bandwagon conversation maker....
jrock this is your last year to show me somethin.. i cant handle anymore of al davis though
Zach the Stud !! This catch (end of the clip) reminds me how good he was at Az.State Univ. Made a catch like this almost every game it seemed, and in the clutch. Wish the Cards he got him, just so we could see him more often. Good luck Raiders,.. I think your turn'in it around.
dude this game had me expectin big things from JR. sure it was just a preseason game but it showed me somethn! boy was i wrong....hopefully he can win me back with great plays this year. RAIDERS4LIFE!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is sad if this is your highlight of the season.Did u know the Steelers won the SUPERBOWL?HAHAHA I cant believe this is what Raider fans see as a highlight.
ya i bet you never even liked the steelers before they won the superbowl. your probably a lions fan so you had to switch teams fast. hop on the bandwagon, and plus in the description box it says JAMARCUS RUSSELL HIGHLIGHTS VS THE TITANS not season highlights
Nobody in the league slings a football like Russell...it's insane. Idk what he can make out of his career at Oakland, but damn if he ever gets on a decent offense with some talented WRs.
Thank you. That was all Oaktown & I were trying to get thru to this Soma clown. Dooming these kids before a few years in the league is just plain stupid.
I didn't think he did that bad last year. He had 13TDs and 8INTs for his first year starting. If they draft Crabtree or Macline and get better on the O line then I think Russell can have a 17-20 TD season.
jamarcuss russell is a fuaking beast ok and alex smith is a little fragile puppy that shit himself every single season can i get a hell yeah raider nation???!!!!!
is tristan17 on crack?? lol jamarcus russell arm strength makes alex smith look like shit im sorry no offense to the 49er nation cuz that other qb shaun hill is way better than alex smith
I still don't know why he was such a bust. Talent throughout every orpheus and I dunno what else to say because fear, lust, innovation, and exfoliation are words which bring fear into my bossom.
cuz you sound determined to make everything into something negative. yea i get that buying into every positive thing is stupid but if you actually watched the games you would see that russell has only ben getting better.
and yea, 13 tds to 8 picks is not good to a vet qb. but consider the situation and those number dont look bad at all.
It may seem like im trying to turn everything negative but its really just two things. Al Davis who just needs to die already and Jamarcus Russell. Seriously look at the gift he has, he could be good, definately not the best, but hes not because he s lazy. Yeah that makes me mad when ppl take shit like that for granted his career is not going anywhere cuz he has no work ethic. And its not a good or horrible td to int % but cmon 53 comp % thats embarassing.
And yes he started to improve A LITTLE toward the end of the year thats cuz he splaying every week wait until the start of next season after a whole off-season and camp of being lazy he ll look the same as he did at the beginning of last year.
Until Cable took the play calling from Knapp there wasnt many big plays down the field. Who are you to tag him with the bust label. Your a fan like all of us. It was basically his rookie season. Go match his 1 st season as a starter to Elways, Aikmans, Mannings, or Brees. Your just plain hating. Hes young, let him mature into the role. Im done with you, cant keep sayin the same thing to a dumbass hoping that you get it.!
I am done arguing epspecially with you, oaktown at least has somewhat of an argument your just an idiot. And really ppl need to stop saying look at mannings and other hall of fame qbs first seasons,cuz ill call it right now, Russell will NOT be in the hof. They had to carry their teams with the raiders its the other way around the only reason they won some games was cuz of their d and running game. And i never called him a bust, all i said is right now he s below average and lazy.
You are the idiot. Are you trying to tell me that Elways early years the had a defense? Or Mannings Colts? The truth is you dont know shit. nobody call tell if this kid will be good or not after 1 season under his belt. If you could, you would be the GM supmere of the league. Let it fucking play out before you doom the kid. Im done with you & yourt football IQ of 12....
So so far my football iq of 12 is looking pretty right. Russell is a pile of shit, he has completed 32.5% of his passes, he is an embarassment. Oh and 1 td to 2 ints, and yes i know he shoulda had 1 more td that was a bad call, but i also saw san diego drop 3 ints, He misses wide open receivers and just has horribly bad accuracy.he s awful, good call.
I love how every one is quick to rat on russell he completes basically every pass with a play action the coaching is not helping his style of qb he is actually a very good qb he had great success in lsu witch was a totally dif play styles
Great he had success as a college player, so did Brady Quinn. He has completed less than 45% of his passes, and whats his td to int ratio right now? K you get back to me when you look up his stats and watch hm play, there is nothing anyone can say to prove me wrong anymore, he is god awful
@soma27 some do you need a hug, i think you do man. im sorry your family didnt provide you with enough support and love, but you being in that situation sh ould be able to see why russell is not succeding either, you guys are like situational brothers.
i do need a hug will you give me one? Please? My family didnt love me enough to support a horrible qb that has proven numerous times he s a lazy pile of shit who cant throw an accurate pass to save his life. Damn my mom and dad, sniffle
why dont you ask your father, THATS RIGHT HES A PIECE OF CHET, you get what you get and be fuckin happpy with it nitwit, now go call your sister in here, shes 18 right?
Ok im bored so i looked it up for you. Now he s in his third season: Tds-2 Ints-6 Completion %-45.6 Rating-51 after 6 games. Im sorry there is just no drfending this guy. Me and furiousdan were right. Im not trying to be a dick i just want Raiders fans to stop supporting this lazy piece of shit and retarded al davis.Those 2 are killing your team.I live in Buffalo and im a Pats fan,why,because i cant deal with stupid players and even dumber management. Im just suggesting you guys do the same
When your a rookie who holds out and sits at home while the regular season is about to start and continues to hold out then yes he fits in with alot of other greedy asshole fb players. When your a rookie you want to get on the field practice with your team to make an impact and help them win, he's no randy moss who really can afford to practice when he wants to. And the only thing gannon questioned about the coaches is that they didnt make it mandatory for the players to come in on tuesdays.
Yeah you know what coaches also say that about t.o. No coach is gonna throw their starting qb under the bus. And maybe he woulda had more time to develop if he wasnt such a greedy piece of shit. Its his own fault he got a late start. He had chances last year too how did that turn out, 2 tds 4ints 54%comp. You cant defend this guy. I understand its not fair to compaire him to the likes of brady but what you said makes no sense, Brady wasnt good enough to start? No teams gonna go ahead and put
lol, its definately his fault his agent wanted to get him the richest rookie deal ever right? greedy? you act like youve grown up with the guy.
he had his chances...? his first time stepping onto an nfl field and he throw 2 tds to 4 picks. and then this season throws 13-8. he barely played 2 complete games in 07. and in his first start he had 240 yards like a 63% comp % and a td. go ahead and call him a bust..
im not saying hell be the next great qb but hes nowhere near as bad as youre makin
And Rusell didnt, thats the definition of being lay,and he was never a first guy in last guy out type guy and he never will be. See im complaining cuz i like the Raiders if he put forth anearly as much effort as he should he could be an above average qb but he s not, he s way below, hopefully he improves it just doesnt look like it. I just feel bad for the rest of the team
Russell is a god awful piece of crap. He is a lazy pile of shit, like gannon said. He fits in with the likes of trav jackson, vince young, mike vick, losman, all ppl with potential but lazy pieces of garbage who dont realize being a qb is the hardest job in the nfl and involves the most work. They are all lazy crap thats why they dont evolve they stay the same
cuz he weighs 265 lbs? thats his natural body, you cant call him lazy for that. and a first time starter with that offensive ine and WRs and still manages over 2500 yards, 13 TDs and like 54% complete with only 8 picks. terrible, just terrible....
not to metion two game winning drives last year. out of the 5 wins we had.
I say he s lazy cause Rich Gannon ya know the guy who played with the raiders called him lazy when he went to their camp. He even said he s not a hard worker at all, he s not a first guy in last guy out guy, like a great quarterback has to be ya know the bradys, mannings, matt ryans, he puts no effort. And yes a 53% comp percentage, 77.1 rating is what anyone with sense would call terrible not to mention he didnt even throw that much, 368 times thats nothing
get me a link of gannon saying that. because during the commentary of the oak-tampa game gannon was gushing over russells development. and for good reason. look at oaklands offensive output and russells numbers in the last 6 weeks compared to the first 10. and sorry, but very account ive read (cable, kiffin, various players) have all said russell is a natural leader, leads by example, and is starting to be that guy that comes early, leaves last.
its his first year starting. manning threw 28 picks as a rookie. aikman started 0-11. brady was a 6th round pick that wasnt good enough til injury opened the door for him. you cant expect everyone to turn out like matt ryan. thats probably the 2nd time a rookie QB has ever done that (marino). and yes ill take the progress russell showed this season because most first time starting QBs dont even show that.
their 6th round pick in over bledsoe when he was there for a long time. Russell had more experiance going into this year than brady did his 1st superbowl year. And just go to google and type in rich gannon on jamarcus russell it will come up. theres your answer its on what gannon said, russells lazy doesnt even come to work everyday, thats why he, they suck
No, your comments are weak. How the fuck do you know what goes on behind the scenes? Give the kid a chance before you put the suck label on him. How many great QB's started bad? Do your homework & check.
How do i know? Well if you would look at the comment i sent oaktownraider13 i did my homework. Rich Gannon who has much better access than you do says he's lazy, his stats say he sucks much more than almost anyone in his position. You have no argument.
rich ganon was more quesioning the coaches in that quote than russell. and like i said gannon was gushing over russells play and development in the last game of the season. he couldnt give russell enough praise in the game commentary.
his stats say he sucks? dude, he threw 8 picks in his first season as a starter. an as much as you like to pretend different 8 picks in 370 pass attempts is pretty good.
not to mention the receivers and pass blocking sucked.
Yea Gannon has time in his busy schedule with CBS to hang out at the Raiders facility during the off season voluntary & training camps. You shouldnt be commenting on a young QB, who in his first year put up some decent #,s. Not to mention all of the dicontent in the organization last year with Kiffen. You are too quick to label & ignorant!
Actually if you read the article he was there. Your retarded im not even going to argue with you you have no valid points whatsoever apparently you know rich gannons hourly schedule. Anyone who says 13tds 8ints is good doesnt know anything and a 53% comp % is a joke. Im not saying he cant improve im not labeling that im saying as of right now he s lazy and sucks, which you cant argue
You fuck stick! I read the Gannon comments & also heard him on CBS encouraging Jamarcus to take the extra steps to fullfill his potential. They were not words of discouragement. The top 2% of college football athletes move on to the NFL, so he has to have some talent or he wouldnt be in the league. And last year was equivalent to his rookie year. You are lazy & you suck. Go die in a fire!
Your an angry little retard arent ya. Of course he s gonna give words of encouragement he s a proffessional analyst, he doesnt want ppl to hate him and he s a nice guy. But he wouldnt say the things he did unless russell was lazy , theres no other reason to say them. Im gonna go play with some matches now
definitely...good lord does he have a CANNON or what??? his throwing style is very similar to vicks. both of them had really strong wrists so they can snap it out of their hand real hard and create a really tight spiral.
as a pure athlete hes great, lets just see if he can take his game to the next level in the upcoming seasons.
impressive. i didn't think that a raider fan would be able to subtract 40 from 80.
jamarcus is just one of the latest in a long line of raider round 1 busts. the raiders should strongly consider trading to the back of the first round in the hopes that they get another nnamdi, like in 2003 when their pick didn't blow.
what are your grounds for calling jamarcus a bust? other than the fact your an ignorant biased dipshit that has nothing better to do with his life than troll youtube videos of a team he hates.
and "your" ignorant to grammar. russell refuses to read a defense. find a highlight where he looks off one man, then finds someone downfield on even an intermediate pattern. he locks onto his man and makes great plays with his cannon arm...but it is because he is forced to throw to a covered man because he has serious problems reading coverages. lets say he is smart enough to learn it...he doesn't show much enthusiasm to want to learn it. that is how a QB bust is born.
ok, im sorry if i post something on the internet and dont really care about typos and little punctuation marks. If you want, I can write as if I was turning this in to a teacher, but honestly I just don't care if my grammar sucks online. It's not that I can't. You probably already knew that but just don't have anything else to say.
as for russell, i wanna know just how many of his games you actually saw? if you were really paying attention, youd know that from the beginning of the season, til the end, he was progressing, starting to make those reads you were talking about, and his completion percentage was night and day from where it had been earlier in the season.
go look at the highlights of the texans and bucs games if you dont believe me (patriots too but they were up by so much their defense was playing soft). reading coverages cant happen overnight in the nfl because an nfl defense and a college deense is like the difference between a model-t and a modern car in complexity. and remember this is basically his rookie year. throw in the shitty receivers and pass-blocking and his numbers dont look that bad do they?
there is only one way to really know how bad or good he is. next year, his 2nd full year (3rd season), will be a big turning point. if he succeeds, you can be proud. of course, i think he will do poorly again. we shall see.
and it appears you were totally right. when i said that russell sucked because of his lack of intelligence and work ethic, i was WAAAY off. it turns out, he also has a terrible attitude, weak leadership skills, and overrated accuracy (though not anymore, i guess.)
i haven't seen an AFC WEST QB with those credentials since ryan leaf.
if you want to analyze a player, don't be a homer. be a realist.
ps - darren mcfadden looks like a bust. but he has real skills. use them!
well, seeing how gradkowski made us look likea legit team again in the exact same situation I was wrong about russell. I really thought he was gonna live up to the expectations, especially after how we ended 2008 but he regressed so badly this year that theres no other explanation besides the fact he just doent care enough.
he still has time to get it together but thats unlikely now...
yeah but look gradkowski and frye are more experienced than russell and the o-line got all the qbs hurt its not all russells fault he has horrible coaching he almost had a new coach every year
yeah he does lack that but he also lacks good coaching hes had like 3 coaches in 4 years you cant expect him to succeed with that and he has no o line yeah gradkowski did great and frye did alright with that o-line but there more experienced but with that o-line they all got hurt if russell had norve turner to coach him or a decent qb coach hed be doing good
Just leave russell the time to adapt himself to the big league because that guy is very good ... will be one of the best nfl quarterback with matt ryan. thank you
why get rid of cable? hes the only one thats been able to do anything with the raiders over the past 6 years. those last two wins were really something. the texans were streaking and andre johnson was on fire.. and we beat them pretty good.
then against tampa, trying to get in the playoffs, we won by 7 after trailing by 10 in the 4th.
How can JaMarcus be a bust after not playing a full year.. All he needs is some time, dont forget that Peyton Manning threw 28 INT's in his first year
You cant call him a bust yet.... I think the raiders need to get a new coach that knows what he is doing like Bill Cowher or brian billick(both available).... also they need to run out of the shotgun, it will make it easier on the quarter back and th o-line
Peyton Manning threw 28 INT's in his first year - GET HIM A GREAT VERTICAL WR and we may see CULLPEPPER AND R.MOSS(ROOKIE) PART 2. IN RUSSELL AND CRABTREE OR ANOTHER FAST WR.
LMAO raiders winning record in preseason is like 3-1 while the regular season it's like 4-12 lololololoololololololololololololololololollllllllllllllllllllll
Heh, I grew up with him and his brother around 13-15. Used to be over at their house all the time. The entire family was dedicated to football with both of them (his brother Brent plays too) at a very early age. I miss them actually, both really cool guys. Funny as hell.

Until Cable took the play calling from Knapp there wasnt many big plays down the field. Who are you to tag him with the bust label. Your a fan like all of us. It was basically his rookie season. Go match his 1 st season as a starter to Elways, Aikmans, Mannings, or Brees. Your just plain hating. Hes young, let him mature into the role. Im done with you, cant keep sayin the same thing to a dumbass hoping that you get it.!
shanzilla 3 years ago
I am done arguing epspecially with you, oaktown at least has somewhat of an argument your just an idiot. And really ppl need to stop saying look at mannings and other hall of fame qbs first seasons,cuz ill call it right now, Russell will NOT be in the hof. They had to carry their teams with the raiders its the other way around the only reason they won some games was cuz of their d and running game. And i never called him a bust, all i said is right now he s below average and lazy.
soma27 3 years ago
You are the idiot. Are you trying to tell me that Elways early years the had a defense? Or Mannings Colts? The truth is you dont know shit. nobody call tell if this kid will be good or not after 1 season under his belt. If you could, you would be the GM supmere of the league. Let it fucking play out before you doom the kid. Im done with you & yourt football IQ of 12....
shanzilla 3 years ago
So so far my football iq of 12 is looking pretty right. Russell is a pile of shit, he has completed 32.5% of his passes, he is an embarassment. Oh and 1 td to 2 ints, and yes i know he shoulda had 1 more td that was a bad call, but i also saw san diego drop 3 ints, He misses wide open receivers and just has horribly bad accuracy.he s awful, good call.
soma27 2 years ago
Go away already. I dont give a damn.
shanzilla 2 years ago
I love how every one is quick to rat on russell he completes basically every pass with a play action the coaching is not helping his style of qb he is actually a very good qb he had great success in lsu witch was a totally dif play styles
GoWglitcher420 2 years ago
Great he had success as a college player, so did Brady Quinn. He has completed less than 45% of his passes, and whats his td to int ratio right now? K you get back to me when you look up his stats and watch hm play, there is nothing anyone can say to prove me wrong anymore, he is god awful
soma27 2 years ago
@soma27 some do you need a hug, i think you do man. im sorry your family didnt provide you with enough support and love, but you being in that situation sh ould be able to see why russell is not succeding either, you guys are like situational brothers.
micafonist 2 years ago
i do need a hug will you give me one? Please? My family didnt love me enough to support a horrible qb that has proven numerous times he s a lazy pile of shit who cant throw an accurate pass to save his life. Damn my mom and dad, sniffle

Me and furiousdan were right. Im not trying to be a dick i just want Raiders fans to stop supporting this lazy piece of shit and retarded al davis.Those 2 are killing your team.I live in Buffalo and im a Pats fan,why,because i cant deal with stupid players and even dumber management.

When your a rookie who holds out and sits at home while the regular season is about to start and continues to hold out then yes he fits in with alot of other greedy asshole fb players. When your a rookie you want to get on the field practice with your team to make an impact and help them win, he's no randy moss who really can afford to practice when he wants to. And the only thing gannon questioned about the coaches is that they didnt make it mandatory for the players to come in on tuesdays.
soma27 3 years ago
Yeah you know what coaches also say that about t.o. No coach is gonna throw their starting qb under the bus. And maybe he woulda had more time to develop if he wasnt such a greedy piece of shit. Its his own fault he got a late start. He had chances last year too how did that turn out, 2 tds 4ints 54%comp. You cant defend this guy. I understand its not fair to compaire him to the likes of brady but what you said makes no sense, Brady wasnt good enough to start? No teams gonna go ahead and put
soma27 3 years ago
lol, its definately his fault his agent wanted to get him the richest rookie deal ever right? greedy? you act like youve grown up with the guy.
he had his chances...? his first time stepping onto an nfl field and he throw 2 tds to 4 picks. and then this season throws 13-8. he barely played 2 complete games in 07. and in his first start he had 240 yards like a 63% comp % and a td. go ahead and call him a bust..
im not saying hell be the next great qb but hes nowhere near as bad as youre makin
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
And Rusell didnt, thats the definition of being lay,and he was never a first guy in last guy out type guy and he never will be. See im complaining cuz i like the Raiders if he put forth anearly as much effort as he should he could be an above average qb but he s not, he s way below, hopefully he improves it just doesnt look like it. I just feel bad for the rest of the team
soma27 3 years ago
Russell is a god awful piece of crap. He is a lazy pile of shit, like gannon said. He fits in with the likes of trav jackson, vince young, mike vick, losman, all ppl with potential but lazy pieces of garbage who dont realize being a qb is the hardest job in the nfl and involves the most work. They are all lazy crap thats why they dont evolve they stay the same
soma27 3 years ago
umm... ok.
cuz he weighs 265 lbs? thats his natural body, you cant call him lazy for that. and a first time starter with that offensive ine and WRs and still manages over 2500 yards, 13 TDs and like 54% complete with only 8 picks. terrible, just terrible....
not to metion two game winning drives last year. out of the 5 wins we had.
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
I say he s lazy cause Rich Gannon ya know the guy who played with the raiders called him lazy when he went to their camp. He even said he s not a hard worker at all, he s not a first guy in last guy out guy, like a great quarterback has to be ya know the bradys, mannings, matt ryans, he puts no effort. And yes a 53% comp percentage, 77.1 rating is what anyone with sense would call terrible not to mention he didnt even throw that much, 368 times thats nothing
soma27 3 years ago
get me a link of gannon saying that. because during the commentary of the oak-tampa game gannon was gushing over russells development. and for good reason. look at oaklands offensive output and russells numbers in the last 6 weeks compared to the first 10. and sorry, but very account ive read (cable, kiffin, various players) have all said russell is a natural leader, leads by example, and is starting to be that guy that comes early, leaves last.
were not a throwing team.
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
its his first year starting. manning threw 28 picks as a rookie. aikman started 0-11. brady was a 6th round pick that wasnt good enough til injury opened the door for him. you cant expect everyone to turn out like matt ryan. thats probably the 2nd time a rookie QB has ever done that (marino). and yes ill take the progress russell showed this season because most first time starting QBs dont even show that.
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
their 6th round pick in over bledsoe when he was there for a long time. Russell had more experiance going into this year than brady did his 1st superbowl year. And just go to google and type in rich gannon on jamarcus russell it will come up. theres your answer its on what gannon said, russells lazy doesnt even come to work everyday, thats why he, they suck
soma27 3 years ago
Shut up supreme talent evaluator. Stupid comment
shanzilla 3 years ago
what a worthless comment
soma27 3 years ago
No, your comments are weak. How the fuck do you know what goes on behind the scenes? Give the kid a chance before you put the suck label on him. How many great QB's started bad? Do your homework & check.
shanzilla 3 years ago
How do i know? Well if you would look at the comment i sent oaktownraider13 i did my homework. Rich Gannon who has much better access than you do says he's lazy, his stats say he sucks much more than almost anyone in his position. You have no argument.
soma27 3 years ago
rich ganon was more quesioning the coaches in that quote than russell. and like i said gannon was gushing over russells play and development in the last game of the season. he couldnt give russell enough praise in the game commentary.
his stats say he sucks? dude, he threw 8 picks in his first season as a starter. an as much as you like to pretend different 8 picks in 370 pass attempts is pretty good.
not to mention the receivers and pass blocking sucked.
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
Yea Gannon has time in his busy schedule with CBS to hang out at the Raiders facility during the off season voluntary & training camps. You shouldnt be commenting on a young QB, who in his first year put up some decent #,s. Not to mention all of the dicontent in the organization last year with Kiffen. You are too quick to label & ignorant!
shanzilla 3 years ago
Actually if you read the article he was there. Your retarded im not even going to argue with you you have no valid points whatsoever apparently you know rich gannons hourly schedule. Anyone who says 13tds 8ints is good doesnt know anything and a 53% comp % is a joke. Im not saying he cant improve im not labeling that im saying as of right now he s lazy and sucks, which you cant argue
soma27 3 years ago
You fuck stick! I read the Gannon comments & also heard him on CBS encouraging Jamarcus to take the extra steps to fullfill his potential. They were not words of discouragement. The top 2% of college football athletes move on to the NFL, so he has to have some talent or he wouldnt be in the league. And last year was equivalent to his rookie year. You are lazy & you suck. Go die in a fire!
shanzilla 3 years ago
Your an angry little retard arent ya. Of course he s gonna give words of encouragement he s a proffessional analyst, he doesnt want ppl to hate him and he s a nice guy. But he wouldnt say the things he did unless russell was lazy , theres no other reason to say them. Im gonna go play with some matches now
soma27 3 years ago

0:51 and 1:05 just shows the true potential of that player. (JaMarcus Russell).

definitely...good lord does he have a CANNON or what??? his throwing style is very similar to vicks. both of them had really strong wrists so they can snap it out of their hand real hard and create a really tight spiral.
as a pure athlete hes great, lets just see if he can take his game to the next level in the upcoming seasons.

Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
impressive. i didn't think that a raider fan would be able to subtract 40 from 80.
jamarcus is just one of the latest in a long line of raider round 1 busts. the raiders should strongly consider trading to the back of the first round in the hopes that they get another nnamdi, like in 2003 when their pick didn't blow.
furiousdan 3 years ago
wow... original...
what are your grounds for calling jamarcus a bust? other than the fact your an ignorant biased dipshit that has nothing better to do with his life than troll youtube videos of a team he hates.
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
and "your" ignorant to grammar. russell refuses to read a defense. find a highlight where he looks off one man, then finds someone downfield on even an intermediate pattern. he locks onto his man and makes great plays with his cannon arm...but it is because he is forced to throw to a covered man because he has serious problems reading coverages. lets say he is smart enough to learn it...he doesn't show much enthusiasm to want to learn it. that is how a QB bust is born.
furiousdan 3 years ago
this is getting interesting.
ok, im sorry if i post something on the internet and dont really care about typos and little punctuation marks. If you want, I can write as if I was turning this in to a teacher, but honestly I just don't care if my grammar sucks online. It's not that I can't. You probably already knew that but just don't have anything else to say.
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
as for russell, i wanna know just how many of his games you actually saw? if you were really paying attention, youd know that from the beginning of the season, til the end, he was progressing, starting to make those reads you were talking about, and his completion percentage was night and day from where it had been earlier in the season.
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
go look at the highlights of the texans and bucs games if you dont believe me (patriots too but they were up by so much their defense was playing soft). reading coverages cant happen overnight in the nfl because an nfl defense and a college deense is like the difference between a model-t and a modern car in complexity. and remember this is basically his rookie year. throw in the shitty receivers and pass-blocking and his numbers dont look that bad do they?
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
there is only one way to really know how bad or good he is. next year, his 2nd full year (3rd season), will be a big turning point. if he succeeds, you can be proud. of course, i think he will do poorly again. we shall see.
furiousdan 3 years ago
and it appears you were totally right. when i said that russell sucked because of his lack of intelligence and work ethic, i was WAAAY off. it turns out, he also has a terrible attitude, weak leadership skills, and overrated accuracy (though not anymore, i guess.)
i haven't seen an AFC WEST QB with those credentials since ryan leaf.
if you want to analyze a player, don't be a homer. be a realist.
ps - darren mcfadden looks like a bust. but he has real skills. use them!
furiousdan 2 years ago
well, seeing how gradkowski made us look likea legit team again in the exact same situation I was wrong about russell. I really thought he was gonna live up to the expectations, especially after how we ended 2008 but he regressed so badly this year that theres no other explanation besides the fact he just doent care enough.
he still has time to get it together but thats unlikely now...

yeah he does lack that but he also lacks good coaching hes had like 3 coaches in 4 years you cant expect him to succeed with that and he has no o line yeah gradkowski did great and frye did alright with that o-line but there more experienced but with that o-line they all got hurt if russell had norve turner to coach him or a decent qb coach hed be doing good
SL4VE0WNER1904619 2 years ago

MingeDaddy 3 years ago
10/11. the whole team shredded denver..
why get rid of cable? hes the only one thats been able to do anything with the raiders over the past 6 years. those last two wins were really something. the texans were streaking and andre johnson was on fire.. and we beat them pretty good.
then against tampa, trying to get in the playoffs, we won by 7 after trailing by 10 in the 4th.
and cable was behind both of those
Oaktownraider13 3 years ago
How can JaMarcus be a bust after not playing a full year.. All he needs is some time, dont forget that Peyton Manning threw 28 INT's in his first year
JeffrenceDT 3 years ago 3
You cant call him a bust yet.... I think the raiders need to get a new coach that knows what he is doing like Bill Cowher or brian billick(both available).... also they need to run out of the shotgun, it will make it easier on the quarter back and th o-line
