He's got the odds against him for sure. One thing that I do ask myself is if him being dealt to the Raiders was one of the factors that led to his demise. I forget where I read it but one guy who was really close with Russell prior to the draft, he knew that Russell was a great athlete and could make an exceptional QB, but he worried that Russell needed a good stable organization where he could be brought along slowly, and he feared that a place like the Raiders where they had a 1st year head coach would do nothing but harm him...I wish I knew that guys name
