Jamarcus could lose more weight, but honestly at 6 ft 6 and 286lbs, he is at least 30 pounds less than he weighed with Oakland, and is probably only about 20 pounds out from being seriously fit for a guy his size.

Nobody on here has questioned Russell's skillset. He has the biggest arm in the NFL and probably is one of the toughesst QBs, but it was all mental with him, and if he is in better mental shape, which it sounds like he is, then he could still turn into a great quarterback.

If he is signed, I want him to do nothing else but try and get good workout habits in his mind, and for him to do as much as he can to learn the offense. If he is a quick learner, then he may be ready to be the #2 by the very end of the season. He could possibly see playing time even at #3 QB if we are totally out of the playoff picture and playing in meaningless games.

If Russell somehow works out here, then I hope that nobody even thinks about starting him until at least 2012, and unfortunatley, Shanahan might not even be here still, so it wont matter.

I'm all for signing JR if Shanahan believes in him and thinks that he can reclaim what should have been a great QB...
