I agree. This team has much more pressing needs than this proven bust.

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?

What a shot across the bow for McNabb.

Come on now, Russell is a project and no threat to any starting QB in this league. Kyle S. said they are working out a few other QBs too. Regardless of what happened Sunday, I think we would still be working guys out. This is a common thing coaches do during a bye. It's more of a scouting and info gathering process for the future.

Do the Colts or Patriots do this?

Actually, when he was first cut from the Raiders the Colts were rumored to have an interest in him.

When all is said and done though, it sounds like the Skins were just doing his agent a favor by giving him a workout and getting his name back out there.

No, that's why they are winning franchises on a consistant basis. They wouldn't have brought in Shanny to coach their teams either.

No, they both have HoF quarterbacks who consistently produce.

The media is still going to have a field day with this one, simply because we continue to somehow find ourselves linked with every controversial figure in the NFL, if and when they become available.

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

Open mind here. I can't help but wonder though is he the only "big name" FA we are working out or just the most controversial. I am very interested in knowing who the other 19 FA's are. Don't forget we had Brian Westbrook, Fast Willie, and Larry Johnson working out while Ryan Torain slipped through and turned out pretty good. Maybe if enough people are like WTF they won't notice Shanny signing a potential stud. Not only does it create a diversion, it puts pressure on McNabb.

He played at a high level in college...work him out. If he can be trained sign him...I mean he can't be worse than having Rex as our #2 and if Young can get it together maybe he can too.

He's way worse than Rex. Rex took a team to the Super Bowl. Last time I checked JR hasnt won a handful of games. He's shown what he is and he doesnt have what it takes to be a QB in the NFL.
