JaMarcus Russell NFL Draft

[grmstillers]

thank you jesus they didnt take calvin johnson and screw the lions.

[TheTVHOMER]

You cant really fault the Raiders taking Russell. The sad thing here is JaMarcus himself and the imense waste of talent. Such a waste!!!

[spanishman11]

Mel Kiper really??? "John Elway" material hahaha Mel Kiper is a fuckn joke

[andreandsomehay]

The raiders needed a quarterback. Jamarcus russell had the best previous season of any of the quarterbacks in that draft. Any other team in that position would have done the same thing. It's just a shame how he was a huge waste of talent. He lacked the motivation.

[TylerGDaniels]

it's always players who analysts say fit the description that fail

[Mrcelticspatriots]

The Kwame Brown of football

[Rileydabeast]

Here is a list of player the Raiders passed on. Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Darrelle Revis, Marshawn Lynce, Patrick Willis, Michael Griffin and Dwayne Bowe.

[uguess94]

@Rileydabeast damn if only we had you at the draft and your time machine to go to the future and see how he has no motivation then maybe we wouldnt have drafted him

[MrScream1t]

@circuiser Ryan Leaf was the biggest bust. He was supposed to be number one instead of Peyton Manning. Imagine if Indy had Leaf and San Diego had Peyton.

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, Kevin Kolb, Troy Smith, John Beck, Drew Stanton, Trent Edwards etc etc. 2007 was one of the worst QB classes ever. Not a single one was worth drafting.

Its ironic, seeing as the draft had elite superstars outside of the QB position.

[TripleCeesTV]

HAHAH ITS FUNNY LISTENING TO THESE ANALYZERS SPEAK SO GOOD ABOUT HIM HAHAHA ITS SOOO FUNNY

[charger04driver]

lol, good ol mel kiper.....why i only listen to mayock

[aaronthegreatism]

He could of been great, but he decided to be lazy and later, do crack.

[circuiser]

Biggest draft bust ever maybe. But it's funny, I remember at the time he was a consensus number 1 pick; he had all the tools to be a great QB. Hard to scout whether or not talent & drive will translate to the big league level.

[DStyles2345]

What if Brady Quinn had been drafted by the Raiders instead of JaMarcus Bustsell

[99rojas5]

1:02-1:10 hahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha 

[allthewayonmars]

dey be booin now

[bookerc1]

EPIC FAIL

[Dpetersen24]

From a Lions fan... Thank you Oakland for not taking Megatron first hahahahaha

[quietriotfan1976]

biggest drfat bust ever...supplanting Ryan Leaf

[Chargerzfan32]

Who were the other LSU draft busts in that draft?

[blazinpyromaniac]

Wait, wait, wait. What was his 40?

[superoscar209]

WOW MOST RETARTED PICK IN THE NFL!!!!! russel right now is a fucking crackhead right now ahaha but we need mcfadden back in the off season we better get some good defenders on our team

[Cinemaparadiso1989]

What a shame...this guy had the size and talent to become the best nose tackle ever, LOL.

[IAmALazyOldMan]

"3 years from now he could be one of the elite 5 quarterbacks in the league."

Nice.

[MrDerezzzed]

@IAmALazyOldMan lmaaooo i know I heard that, I was like wow thats guys not a sports commentator anymore...

[FlipWilSRK]

JaGarbage Russell

[AvsJoe]

It was a smart decision.

[pittsburgh199]

What a dumbass Jamarcus Russie.

[winalldayeveryday]

raiders just have shit luck with drafted qbs

[Graham6762]

Why would you ever draft a fat person.

[Flyerman777]

Hey mel kiper it's been 5 years he certainly not one of the premier qb's out there more like the worst-stupidest qb ever!

[ginuwinepinoy604]

Oh mel kiper u sound like a bloody idiot LOL I don't even know how hes even IN the broadcast team in the draft is beyond me. Oh ya Brady Quinns throwing motion is off..hey whos still in the NFL right now? LOL Mel Kiper knows absolutely nothing about football

[RFFVNS]

1:15 mel kiper- "nobody has an arm like jamarcus russell". in a way he was right.

[ctr8drfan]

Kiper is a tool! Theres a reason he is not a gm. Fat ass piece of shit Jawalruss set us back years!

[CABmovieproductions]

Why does everyone hate JaMarcus Russell? I mean so what in 2009 he had 3 TDs and 11 INTs. But really, the Raiders didn't really have any good wide resivers than and the offensive line wasn't too great ethier. They did have Randy Moss but traded him to the patriots before the draft.

[leebot13]

lol "he has touch he has accuracy" hahahahahahahahaha thats some even funnier shit

[leebot13]

hahahahaha this is some funny shit

[XPONO]

Lol energize? Lol

[DepictionsHD]

Jamarucs Russell, the 285 llb QB

[FFReisegruppe]

John Elway like ... both played in the AFC West but thats all

[bull1504]

@FFReisegruppe hahha

[alex0129]

About a minute in, "Three years from now you could be looking at a guy who's certainly one of the elite, top five quarterbacks in this league"...lols

[NotoriousVick]

With the first pick, in the 2007 nfl draft, the Oakland faiders select Jamarcus "The Bum" Russel.

[lordvoldemort578]

@NotoriousVick "Quarterback, From IDK how he started there"

[jucyma]

Maybe if he were a TE he'd still be playing right now, or an OL.

[lordvoldemort578]

eatin pizza and ranch right now...

[lordvoldemort578]

Ez why I tank I'm one o da grea st Quabacks eyyver cus when di time come I always made the tuff thoow when it counted...

[snakework]

@lordvoldemort578

what?

[lordvoldemort578]

@snakework I was Imitating him.

[Goatoftheforest]

Brady Quinn was Kiper's 4th best player available after Russell was picked ROFL!

[tthomaselli2]

0:00.; Who's that reading off the team & it's draft pick?

[TheNiggaInUrBasement]

LMAO. Listen to the commentary. "John Elway like.." This guy must be so embarrassed 4 years later.

[Melo4L]

haha the raiders could have had the num. 1 WR the num. 1 CB or num. 1 RB but you had to choose Russel

[halodystroyer44]

can't believe peterson passed those many teams

[xboxboy16]

I bet those reporters regret everything they said about Jamarcus Russell...especially comparing him to John Elway.

[rbking305]

worst day of my life

[Graham6762]

never draft fat people

[utube793]

ryan leaf liked 135 times

[TonyDanza4Lyfe]

JOHN ELWAY LIKE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MDZAWU]

IT MAKES ME SOO MAD TO THINK ALL THOSE AMAZING FOOTBALL PLAYERS WERE TAKEN AFTER THIS LAZY FUCK

[Shiva24X]

HAHAHAHAHA! Elway like?

[ImmaVegit0]

Right now the Raiders could have Patrick Willis, Calvin Johnson, Joe thomas(best tackle in football), or fucking Adrian Peterson..but nooooo...

Al Davis "That guy threw a football 60 yards on his knee? I WANT HIM!"

rip

[supermonet12]

@ImmaVegit0 But they got Mcfadden, and hes been a BEAST so far.

[kobe24bryant81points]

@ImmaVegit0 also darrelle revis

[dollarstorePWNRlol]

@ImmaVegit0 best comment on youtube :)

[paydog23]

@ImmaVegit0 I didn't agree with every decision Al made and I still don't, but I loved the man! RIP AL

[kidnamedmonkey]

He joins Tim Couch and David Carr as the first overall pick bust. I think he could have done better with another team but no excuse since during this time the Raiders had Randy Moss. Also for David Carr he just needed a better team.

[jmanx35]

@malcomxjr1982 Lol if you read this "Russel will be great in the NFL"

[jmanx35]

@ssj008 Lol, if you read this. Your post "Our season is lookin real bright"

[ssj008]

@jmanx35 u seem like a nice dude but if you are gonna bash something from 4 years ago at least make sure your team has a winning record before doing so

[ShadowDaHedgehog50]

3 Letters Explain This Pick.... LOL

[goherd3112]

0:52 They could have taken Calvin Johnson? That just said it all right there. BTW, why the Hell, Michigan are they still paying Mel Kiper?

[MrDatdude1992]

When you dont have a O-Line like the raiders didnt have at the time, you will suffer like JaMarcus Russell! lol

[seahawkslakersfan24]

Wow they past up on Calvin Johnson the megatron

[saugusbball21]

1:33 Cant argue with that

[MrGangstathug23]

BIGGEST NFL BUST IN NFL HISTORY!!

[FalknerX]

"skill level is John Elway-like", spot on.

[TheSway93]

Mel Kiper is such an idiot

[VannakN]

Hows that comparison working out dummy?

[Belfento]

Don't worry, Mr360BeasTx; he could still be the next Rick Mirer, although I'm not taking that bet...

[Rollingrock991]

This guy handed me my big mac and large fries yesterday at the drive through..what happened to him ???

[SvRS2010]

cam newton has work ethic that jamarcus russell doesnt lmfao. thats what seperates them

[Rollingrock991]

@SvRS2010 Cam Newton has talent that's what seperates them

[GKAcademy1]

JaBust Russell

[drdontcare123]

Mel Kiper totally got it right on this one

[Sportsguyy18]

Russell is worse than Ryan Leaf IMO

[wingo0pandas]

this video should be on Fail blog

[iPriestHolmes]

mel kiper can suck my dick. i can do his job better, fact!

[stebecool]

This is the definition of "epic fail"

[vonskull]

Mel Kiper makes a fool of himself.

[vonskull]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[gufory]

nfls kwame brown. or this guy who was picked between hakeem and mj.

[1227weaverb]

Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch, Darrelle Revis, Brandon Meriweather, Jon Beason, LaMarr Woodley just a few names of people that were taken after Jawalrus Nohussel.

[pscooch63]

@1227weaverb as a pats fan brandon meriweather is anything special

[1227weaverb]

@pscooch63 I agree he isn't anything special but he was a pro bowler though.

[pscooch63]

@1227weaverb and anything is better than jamarcuss russell lol

[SportsNewsNow]

@1227weaverb I was litterally loling when u said Jawalrus Nohussel

[ctr8drfan]

Kiper is a tool. Go die jawalrrus u fuckin fat ass piece of shit! Oh and fuck u fortywhiner fans...alex smith, year 7 and hes still devoliping lmao! At least this fat ass is got the boot. Calvin johnson got picked next....thanks AL.

[TheGreatRL]

I still think JaMarcus Russell deserves a second chance. He did shitty in Oakland. Does that really say much? And he was thrown into the game too early anyway.

[Bangura187]

CAN'T BELIEVE THERE WAS GONNA BE A BIGGER BUST THAN RYAN LEAF

[BuddhistNun]

Lol, he will never be the biggest bust in nfl. The nfl draft for qb's were terrible that year. The best qb's in the draft were Trent edwards, Kevin Kolb, Troy Smith. Al davis did what he was suppose to do with the first pick in the draft and select talent (his amazing Arm) over Speed. Besides would the raiders fans like brady quinn starting for the raiders. Also the only year he started he led the raiders to a 4-12, 8-8. If he would've stayed on the raiders (and got a weight plan) they win

[PatrickTX100]

"The skill level he has is certainly John Elway like" at 1:34. LOL!

[AEMoreira81]

With the first pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders select McDonald's Super Sized Big Mac!

[Society619]

1:04 BWWWHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAH!!!!!!

....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

....BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAH

..."can't breathe".....BWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA­HA

[ctr8drfan]

Kiper is a tool!! Listen to what he said about this piece of shit. It was either between jawalruss or brady quinn in this draft. Either way we would of been fucked in this draft. Fuck all you raider hater bitches!! Raider nation runs cali!!

[metalcorehead]

Even current draft busts like Aaron Maybin and Vernon Gholston are getting second chances. How sad! Even Ryan Leaf got a second chance. I say move over Ryan Leaf, we have a new biggest draft bust of all time

[AEMoreira81]

@metalcorehead Ryan Leaf even got a third chance.

[predaskin]

all that talent damn him he could of been great

[mwcarolina]

Elway like skills, more like Leaf. and in 3 years, he would be fat, out of shape and fired by his life coach.

[gensu3k1]

this is why qbs shouldn't ALWAYS go number 1.

[ESPsandEmgs]

@ 1:03 who ever the hell said this should be FIRED and NEVER allowed to judge talent at the NFL level again. I am SO SICK of these guys saying stupid shit about how just because a QB had ONE good year in COLLEGE that he is going to be a HUGE success in the NFL, this rant is directed at YOU Cam Newton lovers!

[apodino]

@ESPsandEmgs Mel Kiper has never been good at judging talent.

[Bexly]

@apodino fuck him.....MIKE MAYOCK on the NFL network is the man over Kiper and McShay....

[MrNepatriotsfan12]

3 years from then he's no longer in the nfl let alone the top 5 lmao!!!!!!

[dollarstorePWNRlol]

@Mr360BeasTx dont compare CAM to russel, two completely different QBs... Newton is healthy, fast, and atheletic Russel is fat, and stupid

[TTGModdedWarfare3]

@Mr360BeasTx Why are you hating on Cam Newton. His dad played in NFL so he has the genes unlike JaMarcus Russel or Ryan Leaf

[Ian52093]

@Mr360BeasTx

Cam Newton is 10x more athletically gifted and motivated than Russell

[KingKoopaHD]

@Mr360BeasTx you forgot Aldon Smith

[crazykwasi]

@Mr360BeasTx thats so dumb cam newton actually works bro

[superjustus]

@Mr360BeasTx cam newton a bust? ill believe when i see it

[WITNESSREVENGE]

@Mr360BeasTx best LB will be Greg Jones

[itZjstPotna]

@Mr360BeasTx hey today he proved everybody wrong comleting for 24 passes 418 yds and 2 td vs the cardinals so to all you cam newton haters .SUCK HIS BALLS

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@Mr360BeasTx Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­aha

Cam, an athletic QB, threw for more yards (and less ints) than Peyton Manning on his NFL debut. Yeah, Cam Newton's a bust right? Did you know Cam threw for more yards, less picks and scored more TDs on his debut than JaMarcus Russell in his entire rookie season?

Stupid hater. 

[Mr360BeasTx]

@EveryNameIsTakenFFS2 Dude? it was one game, calm down. and against the cardnals!

[1227weaverb]

@Mr360BeasTx stop being a hater Cam is going to be a beast god forbid an injury

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@Mr360BeasTx Did JaWalrus ever throw for 400 yards? Nope. It may only be one game but we've already seen enough to know that Cam is not going to end up like this fat piece of shit.

[luisalexander70]

@EveryNameIsTakenFFS2 ryan leaf had 2 great games hes first 2 then he became a bust so you can say that cam is good or bad

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@luisalexander70 Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. Ryan Leaf happened to win 2 games at the start of his career, he didn't have any great games. Cam Newton had a RECORD BREAKING debut. Theres a difference

[luisalexander70]

@EveryNameIsTakenFFS2 in 3 years wi will know if hes a bust or not

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@luisalexander70 Well obviously thats true.

[panthersXyankees89]

@Mr360BeasTx 422 yards and 3 tds later.

[NoName1325]

@Mr360BeasTx fuck you hater!!! Now who looks stupid?

[vcownzraptors]

@Mr360BeasTx i bet you feel like an idiot now cam has been lighting it up so far nice prediction there lol

[icannn206]

@Mr360BeasTx umm sam bradford? lol

[Sportsguyy18]

@Mr360BeasTx Not sure if understand your comment but Cam is so far so good but I said from the beginning Russell is the least impressive qb Ive seen coming out of college, that whole draft was pretty bad for qbs, but you could tell by his face he would be awful, at least newton looks like he can lead a team. And as far as drafting a qb in the first round its been pretty easy going for most qbs lately: freeman, flacco, matt ryan, stafford, sanchez, bradford, have all been pretty good.

[23jtune]

@Mr360BeasTx haha cam newton is doing pretty well my man.

[dbcrdnfanatic]

@Mr360BeasTx

Cam Newton will be a great QB. JaMarcus could have been a great QB but he just doesn't have the work ethic to be great.

[BTBBaous]

@Mr360BeasTx How's that Cam Newton = Jamarcus Russel comparison working out for you now? Bitch. Fuck Cam Newton haters, motherfucker is a beast.

[YelIowMamba]

@Mr360BeasTx he's 3rd in the league is passing yards and 2nd for rushing td's... i think he's a franchise qb

[kjean411]

@Mr360BeasTx you fking idiot u dont know sht!!

[mratliff13]

@Mr360BeasTx looks like your marked words were wrong, Cam is legit and Peterson is getting burnt on every play. everything else is right though. Nobody can predict busts dude, its ok.

[Leos215]

@Mr360BeasTx Never post about football again.

[yungtre385]

@Mr360BeasTx how about cam newton now?

[MrDwtime70]

@Mr360BeasTx YEAH BRO SO RIGHT! Cam Newton is ranked 7 right now dip shit and you know what Fairley has done? He shit on his own team he gets tired just walking out on the field HE IS THE NEXT JaMarcus Russel

[vcownzraptors]

the greatest qb in the history of the nfl it just brings tears to my eyes on how great this guy is

[7milejog]

damn raiders you guys waisted 61mill with 32mill guaranteed on this guy?!?!?! 6'6 an a big arm!! what a waist!

[mexcry]

BUST!!!!!!!!!

[asomugha267]

if anyones to blame its those ass holes at espn 

[Mattraction513]

@asomugha267 Fuck that this completely Al Davis fault and im a raiders fun

[carrolltonrams]

somebody should smack the shit out of jamarcus russell

[fluffynoses]

what makes me laugh my ass off is how these guys were saying you either gotta go with jamarcus or brady quinn. at least jamarcus had ONE good game roflmao i don't think quinn has played more than three snaps and now the clown is sitting behind tebow and kyle orton

[yungtre385]

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust

[556Bmoney]

Top 5 QB and could be John elway huh Mel kiper

[ballislife06]

hes coming back with a HAM attitude. He just needed an offensive line and wide outs to protect him in oakland, hopefully he gets back in shape so he can prove all these skeptics wrong. Hes a true talent the fuckin critics didnt give him the chance to improve his game. Two years really....Look at alex smiths sorry as in 05 worst number 1 selection year ever and hes still in the damn league. Russell may have an 18-23 pass td record, but the guy has talent and huge potential, ...yall watch and see

[Joergenzen]

@ballislife06 ur dumb as fuck this guy is lazy and poor... waste of talent he rather whant to take drugs and sit on Mc'donald and be more fat... what a fucking thankfull fat fuck

[dgr1217]

the reason Andre had more catches is because he can make a catch even in double/triple coverage. He even missed 3 games last season. and played with a bad ankle for almost the entire season. Calvin J is not the best but is among the best

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@dgr1217 Calvin's career YPC is the same as RANDY MOSS, Calvin's TD:Reception ratio is BETTER than Randy Moss. The ONLY thing stopping Calvin from putting up Randy Moss stats are his receptions. Better QB = more receptions.Give Calvin a 4000 yard QB, and he'll have 1500+ yards for sure. He made the Pro Bowl whilst playing with Shaun Hill, if Stafford can manage to play 16 games a season, imagine what Calvin could do. Calvin will end his career with more yards than Andre.

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@kilox10001

Physically: Calvin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Andre (measurements aren't everything but they do help)

Stastistically: Calvin has more yards & TDs in his first 4 seasons than Andre did in his first 4 seasons. Calvin is already on course to have more career yards & TDs. He has achieved all of this whilst playing with the likes of Shaun Hill, Culpepper, Orlovsky and Drew Stanton. If Calvin had a 4000 yard passer under center, his stats would be even better than they already are, FACT.

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@kilox10001 What you said clearly doesn't make sense, because Andre had 86 receptions this year whilst Calvin only had 77.

QBs throw when receivers are open, when you're in double/triple coverage, you're less likely to be open THEREFORE, Calvin gets less receptions.

Andre Johnson is a beast but Calvin > Andre.

Even look at this season's stats, Andre had more receptions & yards, but Calvin's YPC was better, and in less receptions he had MORE TDs. Give him a QB and Calvin kills Andre

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@kilox10001

Being the only receiver on your team DOESN'T boost your stats, if anything it brings your stats down, because Calvin gets double/triple-covered so often which makes it much more difficult to make big plays.

Culpepper wasn't bad? His QB rating was like 65 and his competion % was like 55%.

Schaub >>>> 2008/09 Culpepper

Calvin is the best CONSIDERING who he plays with. If Andre was on the Lions and Calvin was a Texan, I'd bet that Calvin would produce way more.

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@kilox10001

Yea, measurables aren't everything but the fact is, Calvin Johnson is a freak of nature AND can play football, just look up "Calvin Johnson - The Catch"

Yes, Andre's production in the past couple years > Calvin

But who was throwing the ball to Andre? Matt Schaub, a pro bowler.

Who was throwing to Calvin? Shaun Hill? Culpepper??

Plus, Andre plays on an offense with some other options (e.g. Foster), Calvin plays on an offense where he is the ONLY weapon.

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

@kilox10001 Calvin's 40: 4.33 Andre's: 4.43 Calvin's vertical: 44.5 in Andre's: 41 Calvin's Height & Weight: 6ft 5, 236lbs Andre: 6ft 3, 225lbs Calvin beat Andre at EVERY SINGLE COMBINE EVENT (broad jump, 20 yd shuttle, bench press). Calvin kicks Andre's ass in measurables, agreed? Now production. Calvin, first 4 years: 4191 yds, 33 TDs in 55 starts Andre 4 years: 3953 yds, 17 TDs in 61 starts Yes Andre has improved since then, but he has Schaub now, whilst Calvin has nobody.

[bobbybenjamin]

ok guise who's worse, ryan leaf or jamarcus russell?

[Fredward321]

to think they couldve gotten revis, imagine him alongside with Nnamdi? No widereceiver would be safe

[aberaquit732]

Never listen to Mel Kiper

[aberaquit732]

Range from an A to a D how about an utter F

[YoungMadness100]

people that say they saw this coming are Dumb ya he Sucks ya he was Lazy but he played Amzing in Collage in the best confrence in the Country! i will admit i thought he was gona be prety good guesse we were wrong!!!

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

bust

[steventheraiderful]

@08TeamDream This was Al Davis fault he was the one that wanted JR in the first place because of speed.

[08TeamDream]

With the dumbest pick in the 2007 NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select, Jemarcus Russell. Goodell should've apologized to the Raider fans.
