So what, great quarterbacks have a career expectancy of 6 years now. No, it's a trend. What about Manning, Rivers, Brees .....Manning again? Pretty good names, eh? Not incredibly mobile.

Before the Russell vs Quinn game, Russell ranked third nationally in quarterback efficiency (168.1), Quinn was 15th at 151.6. Russell had thrown for 2,797 yards and 26 touchdowns against 7 interceptions. Not exactly a "turnover machine," although he has made some puzzling Aaron Brooks decisions....

Peter King reported yesterday that the Raiders would be interested, so we already now know that they won't draft him.

I think he sucks.

So I hope the Raidahs take him.

I think Russell will be a good NFL QB. He's got a great arm and can run when he needs to.

Louisville's head coach is off to Atlanta, so I think Brohm will probably declare.

He also did it in the SEC, against some of the best defenses in the country.

Where are the "turnover machine" rumors coming from?

I have no idea. Some people watched them play Notre Dame I guess and they think that's the only game he played in his career.

The comparisons to Daunte Culpepper are funny. People don't pay enough attention to the level of competition a guy plays against in college.

Culpepper played at CENTRAL FLORIDA. I'm pretty sure Russell played at least 5 top 10 teams this season...

The other thing is that Russell is NOT a scrambling QB. He is a pocket passer who happens to have good speed and size when he has to run, but he is not a runner. In his sophomore and junior year he had negative yards rushing and he had less (IIRC) than 150 yards this season.

Remember, though, he had a huge game vs. Nebraska that really put him on the map.

Russell has a career pattern of turning the ball several times (in scratch-your-head fashion) over in big games (see: three picks against Florida and Tennessee this season).

He plays great when there's no pressure (IE, once his team is eliminated from SEC title contention), and he plays great against the Lousiana-Lafayettes of the world, but Russell still hasn't proven he can take care of the football in important matchups against elite talent on the other side of the ball.
