He said he liked them all.

I had to help myself and I didn’t have $30 million dollars to seek help with. JaMarcus had the resources to get help but he kept drinking codeine and making himself worse. That’s NOT on the Raiders and they didn’t abandon him. JaMarcus was JaMarcus before and after the Raiders. If anything it was his personal Friends and family that abandoned him and let him go astray.

    I was at the LSU vs Iowa (Capital One Bowl) three rows behind Sabin's LSU bench, they were down by a couple of touchdowns to Iowa in the fourth quarter. Sabin benched his starting qb and replaced him with Jamarcus Russel, within minutes Jamarcus brought LSU back and were leading the game before Iowa made a miracle touchdown right in front of Sabin and in front of us. Jamarcus looked awesome, he had the makings of a great NFL qb.

You have to work on your skills to get better at the next level. Defenses, verbage, and speed of the game are alot different than the college level. In the pros everyone is a 7-10 skill wise. You are playing with grown men with families. They are called Pros for a reason. In college, skills levels are everywhere. The best player on certain college teams are not good enough to get looked at by the NFL. This is where he got into trouble.

    People don’t understand. Jamarcus Russell was a 6 foot 5, 250 pound quarterback who could throw it farther than any other qb ever and was also a good scrambler! That sounds like everything a franchise qb is in my books. He is a bust because he was lazy and got fat and lost his skills. If the raiders took Calvin Johnson, the lions would 100% have taken Russell

      You LSU fans have NO IDEA what "suck" really is. Try going through a 3-9 season where your team is losing by 30 points nearly every game like I did! Les Miles didn't suck, he was a good coach. LSU also had some 10-11 win seasons as well, even had a National Championship with him. Hell, had LSU has some offense in 2011, they would've possibly won it that year or at least not lose by 21. Unfortunately teams have picked up on Les Mile's trick plays, like his fake field goals and fake punts for example. He did that too much. Doesn't mean he sucked as a coach. You LSU fans should be more grateful than that.
