Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Thanks to [COLOR=black]Twilbert07[/COLOR] for the tip

[url=http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/sports/nfl/101102-jamarcus-russell-washington-redskins]JaMarcus Russell to Meet with Redskins[/url]

Personally I say why not? He's no risk/high reward.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Yeah, I agree. Initially I thought, "No way.," but after thinking about it for a couple minutes, why not? The bye week is perfect time to take a free look-see with no risk.

I suppose there's no harm in doing so, but does anyone really think this guy can be an NFL quarterback?

And please nobody bring up the mcnabb benching in this thread.. no way this is related.

You can't question his raw talent, if he gets his head on straight he could be scary good. If he's dedicated to doing that, he could be a steal for somebody. For a minimal deal I wouldn't hesitate to give him a shot, especially if someone is vouching for him like Lucas.

Nice joke Halloween is over guys.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

It appears it will be a........spirited bye week

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

He's obviously not a short term solution, he would need to sit for a year or two. Having a mentor like McNabb certainly wouldn't hurt.

To quote Brady Quinn "That's suprising!"

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

So if they do sign him, is it Beck or Grossman who will be gone?

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Is this JaMarcus Russell that was decent at LSU, or the bloated one who looks like he ate small children and washed them down with purple drank in his final days in Oakland?

It never hurts to look at someone, but this kind of fodder is laughable.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

This is beyond horrible. These decisions reek of Snyder and Cerrato. Sure, another QB with a million dollar arm and a 10 cent brain. No one else in the NFL wants him, so who steps up? The Redskins.

I hope he doesnt sign here. for the love of god can QB stuff get any worse? McNabb is benched, people hate Rex Grossman, and now the reclamation project is Jamarcus Freaking Russell??

Grossman's body of work in a Skins uniform will be enough for him to keep him on the team.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Originally I thought no, but what the heck, sometimes its the system and the Raiders have had their issues at QB with the system they have now. He just better lose some weight (conditioning) and not go back to the drugs.

To be honest. His regular season body work sucks! He is only around because of his relatonship with Kyle and his supposed knowledge of the offense.

As fas ar Russell, I do not see where he fits at all.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

I'd absolutely love if we signed him. From all the comments ive read since oakland cut him, he's really got his head together now. He's never had the benefit of a quality NFL coaching staff, so I think Shanahan could do wonders with him. He's certainly a better long-term project than Beck.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Oh...my...God...

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

I don't think he has had drug problems, I mean I know that cup of purple drank was found in his house but one of his friends claimed responsibility for it. I think he was just lazy and didn't put in the work or really give a shit in Oakland. If he's working out with a guy and this guy is willing to vouch for him it's gotta mean something. Who knows, maybe he can have a turnaround.

We all thought Mike Williams (Seattle wr) was a massive bust for the longest time, and it was true because he was. But Pete Carroll has given him one more chance and now look at him, he's finally living up to his potential. By the end of the year he'll have good #1 wide receiver numbers I bet.

sip sip sippin on some sizurp

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

With John Lucas as his mentor maybe he can become a pretty good Tennis or Basketball player.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

There's a lot of fundamental issues with Russell as a QB, and anyone that signs him is likely wasting their time with him, but if you're not competing for a title and are just going to be running out time in the season anyway, there's worse things to do than give Russell a tryout.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

I bet this workout is more of an info gathering type process for the offseason. I don't think we would sign him now.

why not.

long shot, but hey... no harm in bringing him in.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

When i first heard this i too was like no way. But honestly what harm can it do, we should constintly be looking at ways to improve this team so why not. It is a little embarrasing though.

I still want them to take a look at Jamarcus' old LSU bud Ryan Perrilloux i think has more potential, and has been good so far in his short playing time in the UFL.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

no thanks. not now, not ever.

Re: Redskins
 

I don't want him on our team. He's a bum. Remember how we used to laugh at him saying that J. Cambell was a huge upgrade over him? Sorry to bring up Mc5, but remember how we used to clown him for being inaccurate and putting too many balls in the dirt. But all of a sudden he comes here and some of us are giddy. Back to JR. He sucked his whole career but I guess to some of our fans "this may be a good pickup". My point... If we clown a player for sucking else where, how all of a sudden does that change when they come here?

Do you think he has the know-how and cardiovascular endurance to run a 2-minute drill?

classic cut...god I want some drank right now. Get my lean on at work

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Dudes, this is the dude who lost his job in part to Jason Campbell and Bruce Gradkowski because both were better than him.

He probably has the cardiovascular endurance to raid a vending machine.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

JaMarcus Russell> Rex Grossman. He can learn from McNabb but he has to live in Ashburn all year.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

honestly, i'm actually embarrassed this is even under consideration.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Wow per Adam S. Redskins trying out 20
Free agents this week

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

[quote=TIFOSOdeiREDSKINS;755453]honestly, i'm actually embarrassed this is even under consideration.[/quote]

its not surprising he is working out for teams given the courts decided not to indict him. Its just annoying that we were the first. It's just a terrible decision given whats been going on with McNabb.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

[quote=SOUL-SKINS;755454]Wow per Adam S. Redskins trying out 20

I hope 19 of them are offensive lineman, and at least 5 are centers.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Not sure what there is to be embarrassed about really. Guys get 2nd chances all the time in this league, just look at Mike Williams in Seattle and how that's working out.

Besides, it's just a workout.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

I would have to pass on this epic failure.

Me too unless we are trying him out for an o-line posistion???????? This makes me wanna slam some purple drank!!!!!!!!!!

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

it doesnt hurt imo.

just cant see the skins dropping anyone from their roster to make room for him this season.

maybe we are just bringing him in to get a close up look and scouting report on him for future consideration to invite him to camp this offseason for workouts.

i dont see us signing him right now, i dont think there is room on the roster for a developmental long term project qb.

besides, doesnt he have a bring it from the hip just awful throwing motion?

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

What a shot across the bow for McNabb.
