    As an LSU fan, JaMarcus was okay. Their success was always a tough D and amazing running game. As his pre-draft stock rose, I was shocked. It was literally all from how far he could throw from his knees, which is a stupid barometer, bc by rule, you can't throw a pass from your knees.

    Incredible physical shape, early standout performances along with flashes of brilliance which hinted at future potential greatness in the future. It's almost as if his mental knowledge and development of skills ceased to develop, or suddenly stopped short of reaching the level required to be competitive. All successful NFL quarterbacks must reach and develop a skillset of both physical and mental toughness the rest of us probably wouldn't have the ability to comprehend or understand in today's modern position of quarterback. I hope he was able to hang on to as much of that guaranteed money as possible.

    I think playing NFL QB in the modern day is the most difficult position there is in professional sports. It's obviously demanding physically, but the mental demands of knowing your offense, knowing opposing defenses, making reads and adjustments pre-snap as well as once the play has started, are just immense. Some guys just simply aren't smart enough to hold that information in their heads, and of course guys like Russell don't even try to.

    Here is my lasting image of Jamarcus Russell. I was at the Raiders 2009 Monday night opener vs the San Diego Chargers. Russell had just throw a TD pass with 2:34 left in the 4th quarter to give the Raiders a 20-17 lead. When the Chargers got the ball back the Coliseum was going nuts. The noise was deafening and the entire team and coaching staff was up on the Raider sidelines encouraging the defense, encouraging the fans to make noise, many were waving towels, it was a chance to start the season 1-0 and everyone was up and into it except for one guy who I noticed was leisurely sitting by himself on the bench. Jamarcus Russell. Like he could’ve cared less. He never got up the whole Chargers drive which they eventually scored and won the game. I will never forget that sight. All throughout the Chargers drive I kept looking back on the bench expecting him to get up at any moment and join his teammates and coaches cheering on the defense from the sidelines but nope, he never did, he just sat there. Then I thought, ‘well maybe he’s talking to a coach who’s going over the plan of what to do on offense if the Chargers score’ but nope, he was sitting there by himself on the edge of the bench. That’s when I knew this guy was a hopeless case as a quarterback and leader.

However, from about 1963 (really 1967) through about 1985, the Raiders were one of the most winning franchises in sports. But things slowly tailed off after that. The Raiders still had a terrific team in the early 2000s, and arguably would have won Super Bowl XXXVI (2002) but didn't get there due to the stupid "tuck rule", but by around that time, Al's mind was about gone, making repeated bad decisions in the years that followed.

    Pointless trivia here, but I imagine extended family gatherings are awkward for Russell, cause a distant relative of his not only was drafted in the same year as him, but his career also turned out a lot better than Russell's did. That relative's name is Marshawn Lynch, and they are second cousins, hence "distantly related".

    Jim Druckenmiller, Jake Locker, even Jeff George. Guys with a howitzer cannon arm, able to heave the ball 80 yards in the air, but that's about all they could do. Druckemiller shredded receivers gloves, but couldn't hit the broad side of barn with terrible accuracy. (Anything more than about 80 yards is physically impossible. Even Josh Allen is likely around 82 or so. Wind and altitude can help some, but not much more. Don't buy stories about guys throwing it 100 yards, etc. It would be like an MLB pitcher throwing a 125mph fastball).

    I think for QBs, being the most physically gifted is actually a detriment because most of their success in high school in college is because of their physical gifts as opposed to skills they developed. Once they get to the nfl and the players are faster and stronger, they tend to flop because they don’t have the work ethic to actually learn how to dissect defenses.

    Great post! I think this is somewhat the story of Kyler Murray, even though he's not a big guy. In all of HS, and college, he could just use his speed and agility to improvise, almost make stuff up every play. But when he got to the NFL, things were different. The 5 yard gaps he was running through were now 1 foot. His ability to outrun everyone vanished, with most DB's, and a few LBs matching his speed. His ability to muscle out of arm tackles in open field runs was met by guys with equal muscle who could if not stop him, slow up. I think this is where the problem with Kliff wanting him to study plays, and him wanting to play video games instead, came from. He could always do it his way before, but once the NFL players and coaches started to scheme for him, that was all over.

There's a Williamson HS there... which is where Russell attended and played his high school football. Williamston High School is in a small, rural town of the same name a few miles east of Lansing, MI...

    same with Ryan Leaf. only problem was Ryan Leaf didnt have the head for the game. but people failed to realize is Ryan Leaf and Manning were same level of college talent. only difference is Manning threw like 2 more touchdowns, plus barely had a better QBR over Leaf. sort of like the Manning vrs Rivers trade. stat wise chargers got the more complete QB. Eli sure won 2 superbowls but was carried to these superbowls by one of the greatest defenses in our generation. imo better then the bucs.

    ??? How is it the owners trying to save themselves money. The contract negotiations with the NFL players means that a certain percentage of profits goes to the players. Meaning that the money is going to be spent to pay for players either way. With the rookie set pay means that the money is actually spent on proven players on 2nd, 3rd contracts and not on unproven players. The old system screwed the worse teams by getting high round draft picks that end up being busts but you pay them like stars. The current system is better. The huge money goes to proven talent and if you get lucky as a team and draft a great player sets you up to build a great team around them turning bad teams into potentially great teams. The great players are going to get paid huge money on the 2nd contracts. NFL players are not screwed at worse you can point to the franchise tag which should only be used on a player at most once if at all. But the owners screw cities not players. Forcing cities and states to pay for their stadiums or threatening to leave sounds more like black mail.

    Aron M it’s common Union/company tactics. The company wants to spend as little as possible on employees. In turn, the employees want as much as possible. The solution? People not in the union yet get subjected to lower pay, higher barriers to entry, etc. it works for both parties; management saves money while employees either retain or gain more. The losers are the people who are not yet part of the union. The NFL is a great example of this because it has both an absurd barrier of entry (3 years removed from high school) and mandatory pay limits. Also, rookies have absolutely no freedom of labor, the team that drafts them owns their rights. So all the power of negotiation is already on the side of the team If we needed to “fix” rookie pay, then we need to “fix” free agency because of notable busts like Albert haynesworth, Brock osweiler, David Boston, etc. The NFLPA would never go for that, though, because that actually affects union due paying members

Make these dudes work for these millions and millions of dollars. Albert haynseworth ring a bell? Have a base salary every position makes, have a base signing bonus, then load the back end with incentives. The only exception would be for proven players.
