i think Jamarcus Russell gets looked over a lot because of the Raiders debacle. dude was a beast of a QB


Jamarcus gets overlooked a lot because only LSU and the Raiders think he was elite QB, even in college.
Dude was ok but never just awed you with his play. Mistake prone as well. Jones, Hodson, Wickersham were all more troublesome when playing LSU.

Dude


Jamarcus routinely did things in games that were not human. It was ridiculous. He'd put 40 yard passes on a rope off his back foot while getting sacked.

He was insanely efficient at LSU, responsible with the ball, and was very productive.

Todd McShay still says he had clearly the best pro-day he's ever seen and its not close.

Had Jamarcus gone to a team that had its shite together, he would have been a very good pro QB. If he had a Parcells, Bellichick, Harbaugh, etc. coaching him, he would have been great.

Best arm talent in the history of football. People think he just had freak arm strength, but he was actually VERY accurate in college, especially on mid-range and long passes.
