I heard you have an exact replica of a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl ring. All you need to do is hold your bare hand out and look at it.

Complete failure as NFL QB. Thank god Chargers fans dont have to live with the stigma of the worst NFl draft pick ever. That dubious title goes to the Raida nation and their Aunt Jemima Russell.

J-Russell was given all kinds of chances but he picked drinking nyquil and being lazy. Cam had a few mess up in his pass. And if it’s about race y is Ryan mallett getting slammed as hr is just saying

The fact that they didn’t win either of them simply puts them in a class with many of the other NFL franchises. All I’m saying is that having a “franchise quarterback” guarantees absolutely nothing. All things considered, you can’t simply lump Ryan Leaf and Phillip Rivers into the same class.

There’s a guy in Indianapolis that has done very well thank you. Sometimes it is the organization, coaching as well as player personnel that determines how well a player develops. The Skins and Raiders are a prime examples of how not to draft and run a franchises.

I personally think the media as made it okay to be so overly critical of Cam that they can intentionally suffercate him out of the NFL.

Ryan left the NFL, after given many chances. I guess he forgot that part. I doubt VY and Russel was given as much chances as him by the media. And I don’t feel the media is going to give Cam as many chances either cause that type of luxury isn’t afforded to black QBs from what I’ve seen. Vince is still in the NFL but you guys talk about him as if he’s already gone.

Also, Cam and Ryan Palmer may share the same sign but they’re not the same people. Cam got spanked at 18 and had to put things into perspective. Ryan was spoiled and as far as I’m concerned still spoiled considering all he has done and got 10 yrs probations…like WTH…Not surprising many of you want to quickly dismiss

And finally as someone pointed out, the obvious double standard treatment of the black vs. white athlete in the NFL by the sports media. I just read Jimmy Smith and I don’t think there was a stone left on turned as far as his off the field sins. But not one mentioning in this article of Ryan’s background sins nor as his sins associated with his “character.” Nope, and not one comparison to another pass white QB or athlete who has failed. But you manage to slip Cam Newton’s name in there and not Blaine’s.

What clear double standards.

Your jab at Philly is as weak as the QB’s arm you have in your handle. Loser.

He can now honestly look back and give good advise to young prospects. Too much of everything (money, praise, expectations) are piled up on these guys at such a young age that it is a wonder that more of them don’t end up like Ryan. They are paid more in signing bonus than most people earn in a lifetime. With there new found freedom and finance they don’t always have the wisdom to handle it. Get off him, he’s suffered enough.

Realizing you agree with him in regards of “If there isn’t, then don’t draft one,” — MIND BLOWING.

Would be nice if some players in or soon to be in college would listen. Still, hard to expect a 20 something year old kid that’s been BMOC for years deciding to stay in school, in a situation that will likely drop their draft status and make them far less initial money, to better their longer term career aspirations.

J- Russell was a lazy slob….I mean his “Life Coach” fired him for crying out loud, let that one sink in a little….Leaf was at least correct in his self evaluation of himself coming out of school although he could have added selfish unaccountable to that description to be more accurate
