How did he do in interviews? Russell might have been the most physically gifted QB ever, but he showed he was lazy POS. That should have been found out through interviews, background checks etc. Maybe it was an Oakland ignored it...wouldn't shock anyone.
Also, coaching has a LOT to do with a QB bust rate IMO. Oakland is/was/will likely be for a long time, a complete mess. When you surround a good person with nothing but trash then that person will likely become what he's surrounded by day in day out. If Russell would have been drafted by NE then I'd think he'd have a lot more success.
