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.

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.

Oh, I've been sold on McFadden since he came into the league...he's gonna be a beast. I just question if Russell has the mental talent/commitment to be a good QB in this league.

A dude that big; that is fairly mobile really needs to slim down...fast. He's gonna have a litany of injury issues if he keep carrying all that extra weight around. You'd think if you were the No. 1 draft pick you'd respect that position enough to lay off the ****ing cheeseburgers and come into preseason in great shape.

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.
