JaMarcus Russell aiming for comeback LMAO:LOL:
By The Sports Xchange | The SportsXchange – 2 hours 4 minutes ago
Three years removed from his last NFL game, JaMarcus Russell is eyeing a comeback.
Russell, a quarterback who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft, told Yahoo Sports that he plans to get back in shape in an effort to land another job in the NFL.
He was released by the Raiders following the 2009 season, his third disappointing year in Oakland, and he hasn't been back in the league since.
"My first year out, I couldn't watch football but after a while, I couldn't keep the TV off. I got that itchy feeling but now I gotta watch it, gotta watch," Russell told Yahoo Sports. "The last few years, the things going through my life, football is my job and it is how it feeds my family.
"People would say (that) I didn't love the game but that (ticks) me off. People don't know the real you but I want people to know the real me and see what I can do. People are always saying that I'm a bust. I want show them I'm not. I'm committed to this now."
According to Yahoo Sports, Russell is receiving guidance from ex-NFL wide receiver Mike Clayton, a fellow LSU product, and he plans to consult with former NFL players Jeff Garcia, Scott Brunner and Marshall Faulk. Russell reportedly weighs 308 pounds, down from 320 last year. His playing weight was listed at 265.
Russell, 27, last made headlines in 2010 when he was arrested in Mobile, Ala., on suspicion of possession of codeine syrup without a prescription. However, he was never indicated in the case involving the so-called "purple drank."
In 25 starts for the Raiders, Russell posted a 7-18 record. He completed 52.1 percent of his passes for 4,083 yards. He threw 18 touchdown passes and was intercepted 23 times.

This will be fun to watch

Hey, he's lost 12 pounds from last year. That shows commitment to getting back in the game.

He's committed "now".

[RustShack]

What would be real funny is if we sign him, and Andy Reid made him great. Not gonna happen, but it would be a nice stab at the Raiders.

Again, not gonna happen.

Please do, Please Please Do

[AdumbGuy]

I think I remember reading that they once gave him a blank dvd on purpose and told it was game film for him to go over. Came back talking about he watched the whole thing.

What a waste of probably the strongest arm I've ever seen.

He took on Vick...

[Hammock Parties]

I'd sign him. Fuck it. Reid could help this kid if he's serious.

[mikey23545]

Goddam, I could lose 12 pounds in one week, and a "pro" athlete loses that much in a year to show he's serious about getting back in the game?

LMAO

[Dunerdr]

Jamarcus tebow and cassle now thats qb competition!

[Phobia]

Duh. He's broke. He's tasted of the NFL's silver spoon. He wants to return. DUH! Apparently throwing 60 yard bombs from your knees doesn't translate as an actual NFL talent. How about this, Jamarcus... stop losing weight. Convert to offensive line. Come to camp. We'll see what you got and how much you are really committed "NOW"!

[CoMoChief]

I'd sign him. **** it. Reid could help this kid if he's serious.

LMAO He can do the ol' blank DVD trick.

Reid - "Hey Jamarcus...you watch that game film on the burned DVD I gave to you?"

JR - "Yeah man, good stuff, learned a lot"

Reid - "It was just a blank disc, Jamarcus. There was nothing on it."

JR - "Purple drank, muthafucka! Yo Sebastian....get my fuuur coat."

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Reighter 4 lyfe

[TimeForWasp]

Convert him to TE and use him as wildcat QB.

almost serious

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Maybe he converts to Center, tears it up, and takes the Faid to 10 straight Super Bowls LMAO

[InChiefsHeaven]

Didn't he have like a 50 million dollar guaranteed contract? That's a LOT of purple drank...

[Marcellus]

I got that itchy feeling but now I gotta watch it, gotta watch," Russell told Yahoo Sports.

He just wants to be a back up again. He could be just like Ricky Stanzi!

[Tom_A_Hawk]

He just wants to be a back up again. He could be just like Ricky Stanzi!

yup, on the sidelines, out of uniform, not an NFL QB.

[Deberg_1990]

Trying to be nice here but...i dont think he has the mental capacity to be successful in the NFL.

[bevischief]

Tackling dummy.

[CoMoChief]

Trying to be nice here but...i dont think he has the mental capacity to be successful in the NFL.

ya think?

[notorious]

Is he broke already?

[notorious]

Some would say that he is the posterboy for the Rookie Pay Scale.

[ChiefsCountry]

Perfect example of how a spring NFL sponsored minor league could work, a player like Russell if he was serious of making it back to the NFL could go to play in it and see if he can cut it.

[Molitoth]

In other words: He's running out of money.

[Braincase]

This is the same guy Bowe beat at chess by yelling "Yahtzee"?

[Strongside]

Sign him now for an 8 ball and a cheeseburger.

[Chief Faithful]

I'd like to see him in camp and preseason just for the humor. I can't take JaMarcus Russell serious.

[Radar Chief]

Can he block? At 308 he might be worth a look at guard.

[Chiefshrink]

Duh. He's broke. He's tasted of the NFL's silver spoon. He wants to return.

This ! How in the hell do you go thru 30 million in 4yrs?:shake: Oh yeah, Jafatass mentality !!!

[Chiefshrink]

Can he block? At 308 he might be worth a look at guard.

He's soft ! No way he could handle the position.:shake:

[Radar Chief]

He's soft ! No way he could handle the position.:shake:

Joke, dude.

[Sorter]

Move Albert to LG, replace with Russel /Kiper.

[FringeNC]

Russell reportedly weighs 308 pounds, down from 320 last year

He switched to Diet Dr. Pepper for his Purple Drank.

Before you read what I'm about to say, lock up all of your guns, move to the ground floor of your building, and put your medications somewhere secure.



Jamarcus Russell's career quarterback rating is 65.2, compared to the 63.8 that our quarterbacks put up in 2012.

[HemiEd]

Hey, he's lost 12 pounds from last year. That shows commitment to getting back in the game.

At his age and size, he should be able to eat an apple and shit that much weight off in one day.

It is so sad to hear that he is having trouble feeding his family on that payday he got.

[bowener]

Chance of success?
Less than his career completion percentage.

[Chief_For_Life58]

Hes down 12 pounds haha. Whata joke. Ya right like youre committed. If u were ud already be down to a vernon davis 250 shredded working on your qb skills and trying to get signed to a practice squad. all talk. he'll never be in the nfl ever again. what a waste of potential.

[GoChargers]

I actually wouldn't mind the Chargers signing him. If Rivers still sucks next year I'd be intrigued at what Whisenhunt and McCoy could do with Russell.

[loochy]

Cassel was also aiming for a comeback. He overthrew it by 15 yards though.

[tony77]

lol Come on now

[R8RFAN]

JR Refused to play in the Arena League or CFL as soon as he was released... That didn 't help his cause

[crazycoffey]

However, he was never indicated in the case involving the so-called "purple drank."


he was never indicated?

[Clyde Frog]

LOL

[Easy 6]

Thats a pretty cool idea, like NFLE or a baseball farm team.

Lol, Schlereth is ripping him for only dropping 12lbs.

While it is mainly water weight, you can drop up to 15lbs in a day even as a smaller human being.

If he had been working his ass off for 2 months and eating correctly, he could have gone from 320 to 250-270.

[TEX]

How can he make a "comeback," when he never arrived? :shrug:

[chefsos]

Russell, who was drafted ahead of Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Marshawn Lynch and Darrelle Revis -- go Raiders! -- hasn’t played in the NFL since Oakland released him after the 2009 season, and the leaguewide trend is toward mobile quarterbacks, not offensive lineman with strong throwing arms. Yet some NFL teams could still give Russell a look. Here they are:

Kansas City Chiefs

















It's a damn good thing DJ Gallo was kidding.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

If Hard Knocks wants to move in another direction and keep the name of the show. There are a lot of these stories out there and people couldn't pry themselves away from watching.

[R8RFAN]

It's not Jamarcus' ability it's his desire.. He has none.

“Life coach” fires JaMarcus Russell
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/14/life-coach-fires-jamarcus-russell/

He will be flat broke if he isn't already in a couple of years..

[Sorter]

It is amazing to me that Jamarcus doesn't realize what he could have.

Another grown man with the mind of a kid it appears to me... Live for today and don't worry about tomorrow.

[BlackHelicopters]

The story did not mention purple draaaaaaaaank once. I am disappointed.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Let him compete with Pryor for the starter's job and see what happens. Just sign up an All Pro Center and you are gold.

[Sorter]

No. A kid would love to have this opportunity. Most college qbs would take this opportunity and run with it despite their limitations (i.e. McCoy). I don't know what the fuck to classify JR as other than a lazy "I take this for granted" player.

Is that his sweet Honda Element in the parking lot?

[Dave Lane]

Denver Broncos

Look, it simply didn’t work out with Peyton Manning. He came in and, unlike his predecessor, couldn’t even win a playoff game. Say what you will about Russell, but he doesn’t have Manning’s track record of playoff failure.

Hey I like this solution. Do it Fox.
