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.

I thought that the circus left town last year, I guess that I was wrong.

This guy has more business wearing a bra than trying out for any NFL team, he is a bust.

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??

Ryan Leaf and Tony Mandrich are next.

It's a workout people. This goes on every tues. in the NFL.

Are you guys serious this kinda shit can end our season. If you wanna look at him fine, but what terrible timing, what message are you sending. We are f*cked!

mooby · 11-02-2010, 02:14 PM

I can't believe the hate I'm seeing. We're working him out. If he sucks ass do you really think they will sign him? Come on guys, I thought you were smarter than that. Like Matty said we're probably just gathering info for the future. I doubt he'll be signed during this season.

Exactly. That said though, loyal readers of the WP may be wondering why this didn't happen earlier (probably bc he just got cleared of charges) since the hint about the skins interest was dropped in July

It's funny to hear everyone say he's a proven bust. What a load of crap. He might be a bust, but it's far from proven.

Considering how coddled and entitled elite athletes are coming out of college, it is no wonder most of them are not mature. Being a successful NFL player requires a ton of maturity and dedication -- something that's hard to get from a 21yo with a $50 million contract, who has been spoiled all their life. Add to that the fact that he was drafted into a dysfunctional organization, and the guy barely had any chance to learn any discipline.

I'm not saying that maturity is his only problem, but it is his biggest. But, time and adversity are good catalysts for maturation, so it's possible he's ready to work hard. Time will tell.

Seriously though, this is a good pick up. We need interior line help. In all honesty, I don't really see the harm here

MonkFan4Life · 11-02-2010, 02:23 PM

Pick up ?

I agree there is no harm in working him out but I just dont see why with all the other problems this team has they would bother wasting their time with this guy.

Or why it was even necessary to be made public.
