Jalardass will end up with kc or san diego. If he’s ever gainfully employed by an nfl team again it will be in the afc west and Denver already has its bakers dozen of qb’s

I hope he get’s it together. As a true sports fan you have to pull for him. He needs to lose more than 25 pounds, more like 35-40.
He has a cannon for an arm, he needs to get into shape and work with some good coaches. The Cardinals would be a great place for him to start over.

Russell can learn from Leinart how to be irrelevant while NOT playing
Russell can learn from Derek how to insult the fan base he just left
Russell can teach others how to suck even more than they already have

I didn’t realize that a person can eat cactus and sand, I guess J.R probably could. Does Florio just make up dumb sht to write about? There is no way he will be a Cardinal

And I pray:
“Dear Lord, thank you again for the retirement of Kurt Warner. While he is a great man, we in Seattle will not miss him on Sundays this fall.
Please continue to stack the deck for our beloved Seahawks in the NFC West by Arizona signing Jamarcus Russel.
In Your Glorious Name,
Amen.”

Could it be that Leinhart is a GASP bust?

Jamarcus couldn’t lose 25 lbs when he had $6.5M riding on (somehow) staying on the Raiders’ roster. $6.5M! All he had to do was train hard & PRETEND to be interested in playing football. He couldn’t do it. This is why I can’t see him suddenly waking up when he has the NFL minimum on the line. The league minimum is approximately 1/10th of what he might have made if he could have convinced anyone in Oakland that he had turned over a new “Leaf”. Instead, he turned INTO the “new Leaf”…

Run. Run hard. He is a good qb but I don’t think he has the love for the game anymore that’s why he put the 25+ on

Jason Cole trying to blame the Raiders for Russell’s lack of fundamentals and poor mechanics is weak. Gradkowski & Frye actually looked improved. And using Andrew Walter as an example? The guy was outplayed by Aaron Brooks & Josh McCown on the same sorry teams and pouted his way to being released. He’s not in the league because he makes Jeff George look like Joe Montana when it comes to leadership.
The Raiders are to blame for:
1. Drafting Russell
2. Signing him, especially after his holdout extended into the regular season. Plus, the sticking point was not the $, but that the guaranteed portion encompass non-football related injury as well, which should have been a big red flag
3. Switching coaches and playcallers
4. Publicly discussing how fired coach felt about drafting him
5. Not holding him accountable by defending him and shielding him from criticism
6. Believing in and trusting him
Russell is to blame for:
1. Not attempting to live up to his duty as a high draft pick and help turn a bad team around
2. Holding out and putting his and his agent’s greed ahead of working with his team and getting on the field
3. Not putting in extra time at practice or in the film room, trying to catch up with changes in the playbook or working with coaches.
4. Rewarding the people who were counting on him, paying his salary and stuck their necks out for him by being lazy, self-centered and indifferent
5. Not holding himself accountable and pointing the finger at others
6. Allowing himself to get out-of-shape, party too much, fall asleep during meetings, get benched for 2 backups and refusing a paycut
The “no WR’s” or “O-Line was terrible” excuse is garbage too, because Russell had his best 6 games with a similar lineup at the end of 2008. Gradkowski & Frye seemed to do OK and actually helped get better results and effort from those groups.
The Raiders brought in different position coaches, offensive assistants, veteran QB’s and a babysitter to try to get through to Russell, so much of the turnover was a result of his refusal to try. Even the Davis/Kiffin feud should have motivated Russell to prove he was worth the pick, or justify the team’s belief in him. Jason Campbell had several coaches and playcallers dating back to college–more than Russell and Walter–but has never pointed the finger or given up.
Bottom line- As dysfunctional as the Raiders have been, those who go out of their way to fault Oakland for Russell’s failure are either swayed by their feelings, repeating what someone else said or wrote, or is bashing the team in order to increase traffic.
How many of the same people blame the Chargers for ruining Ryan Leaf? Or the Bears for destroying Rex Grossman?

Phoenix is so close to Vegas that JaMarcus is willing to pay the Cardinals for a roster spot!

Looks like Matt Leinart has joined the top 3 bust list, so Jamarcus don’t feel so lonely……….

He heard that with the new immigration policy in Az in effect, he had a good chance of scooping up some free food when they whisk the Mexicans out of the restaurants and off to jail.
Just gotta make sure his stomach gets used to spicy…after all, it’s a different spicy than from down on the bayou…

Russell showed up to minicamp weighing 10lb less than his left tackle. And he’s slower.

Don’t laugh, JaggedMark – Mr. Fitzgerald might be the only receiver in the NFL with the skills to be able to dive and catch a JaCarcass fast ball two inches above the turf or one foot behind his shoulder or two feet above his head…which is what you get with JaFatass – a pass thrown ‘in the vicinity’ of the receiver.

I read a report that said JaMarcus will NOT play in the UFL or Canada and, “he is preparing himself as if he will be playing in the NFL this year.” That right there should scare away any team, considering his past “preparation” while he was actually employed in the NFL.

Correction, Jamarcus Russell is going to Arizona to lose 25lbs of that 39 million at the buffett. He thinks Cardinal is on the menu.

Arizona is hot as hell, but it’s a dry heat. No way he can sweat out 25 pounds of water weight by sitting on his ass in the sun there.
