To be blunt Russell has a higher ceiling than any QB I’ve seen come through Tuscaloosa.


Tua was elite from the get go but he was a true freshman playing behind Hurts. Before all the injuries started taking a toll he could throw any pass, with tremendous accuracy, could throw a receiver open, could read a defense before and after the snap, was good in the pocket but as mobile as any Alabama qb I have seen. Sadly, that mobility and the refusal to quit on a play was his undoing with the hip injury that impacted his game forever.

Russell looks very good for a young guy with very little gametime.

This league is a gauntlet. It just doesn't let up unless you're playing the Aggies.

Any SEC team that finishes undefeated should be given a bye to the NC title game.

Meh...

He's a bit small and a lot of his throws float.

He's ok.

He’s different than the rest. Has more upside than Chambliss. Incredible throwing motion.
Future first pick.


We have a ton of athletic QBs in the SEC, not a ton of processors. To have the football IQ to go with the talent and have it click so fast puts me in mind of Bryce Young. Bryce came out vs. Miami in Atlanta and carved them up all the way to a Heisman that year.

Keelon did not look good last night.

He looked damn good and ruined my night because of it

We need to run more RPOs with him. Deadly accurate with a quick release.

Barring serious injury, he will be an NFL franchise QB.

I would like to see him actually play against someone good first before I make an assessment

He looks like Bryce Young with wheels.

He can scoot

He’s going to run all over Baker’s defense in Baton Rouge. Might actually watch that game to see how early the LSU fans bail

Who had a higher ceiling that makes you laugh at this notion?

Too bad his cohorts on the defensive side of the ball couldn't stop a runaway Roomba.


Sounds just like a Jayden Daniels led team

This is with about 4 min left in the game. I would have pulled him sooner. Mack came in for the last series.


I have no idea what the refs were looking at on that play that led them to call him out at the one. Was clear he was in bounds from the stands.

ColoradofAg, don't you have anything better to do after that humiliation last night than post the same ridiculous, boring, unfunny shite you spew here day after day on an LSU website?

He looks really good and the way things are shaking out UGA and LSU might be the only teams he’ll see whose defense has a pulse.
