Are you telling me that you didn't have a bad feeling about the 2004 Chiefs when they stunk it up in the preseason on offense? I did. And it took them 8 games to get a win (including preseason).

Don't discount pre-season games. You definitely get an idea of talent and depth.

And if guys can ****ing catch the ball.

yep

Big Al had no choice but to pay him Big Money to stay in Oakland.

He left with an injury to his heel is what I read. It is not thought to be serious and most likely would have stayed in the game if it was regular season. You are right about signing him he is far and away the best player in Silver and Black and far away the best CB in the NFL. Second best is distant to say the least.

The other QB's also played well. So I guess we didn't watch the same game.

His arm being a laser was never in doubt. But there are shitty quarterbacks that look great in the preseason all the time, yet when it comes to the regular season they suck all of a sudden. I'm not worried about Russell.

lmao

he completed a bunch of short passes/screens....he missed his 3 deep balls badly - they weren't lasers, they were ducks - and two of them, the fist and second, could/should have been intercepted....if it weren't for a flagrantly bogus PI call on the second, which ended up being 47 yards, they wouldn't have even scored a FG with russell

a fat ass throwing 4 yard swing passes doesn't excite me that much, but knock yourself out.....

Of course your not.

Chiefs fans never take into account the improvement of players on other teams.

I wouldn't go so far as to say he's definitely improved. I'll need more than a couple series in preseason to make that assessment.

Of course.

But outright dismissal is just plain dumb.

He looked a whole lot better than I expected...I was really expecting a Thigpen-esque performance.

But he's so goddamn huge, the Fade really need to bust his ass and get him slimmed down. I mean, he looked like an aging McNair when he had to scramble..

Based on what I've read on the 'Planet about him, I did as well.

Which is also why I stated last night that he was impressive.

But what really impressed me last night were the Raiders receivers and McFadden. They really have the makings of a potent, high-powered offense. I'm not stating that they will be either of those things, but the talent sure looks to be there.

**the Talking Can** · 08-14-2009, 05:43 PM

russel has all the talent, i just don't think he has the head or commitment

his wind up is slow, and he throws his deep ball late....this is all correctable, but it strikes me as something going on in his head, like his neurons are firing a half-second slow...i don't know, he just never seems focused

i admit i could be biased by the fact that he is a fat ass lard butt

Well, I hope he stays all of those things. But with Paul Hackett in his year, he may improve.

One thing's for sure: They have depth. Garcia looked good and Gradowski looked very good (albeit against 2nd and 3rd teamers). I don't understand why Tampa let him walk.
