QB JaMarcus Russell of the Oakland Raiders is a mirror image of both Donovan McNabb and Daunte Culpeppar and that spells 't-r-o-u-b-l-e' for the Raiders imo. Neither McNabb nor Culpeppar did or have done squat for their respective clubs during their respective careers and from watching this guy perform todate, who by the way thought he was an underpaid NFL QB before he even took a snap from center, his tendencies certainly appear to be along the same lines as the two Qb's mentioned above.
Rule of thumb: Stay put in the pocket until you finally take a hit that puts you out of the lineup for four to six weeks or quite simply throw the ball up for grabs when opportunity comes knocking at the door, more often in the red zone. As a Raider supporter, I became completely turned off by this guy's attitude last season when he held out and missed practically the entire season, better yet an entire season of grooming wasted.
In plain English, that action merely told me this guy doesn't give a sweet shit about the Oakland Raiders because if he did, he would have reported to camp like he should have when training camp opened last year and let his on-the-field actions do the talking for him. In closing, I honestly believe the Raiders got caught up in the excessive hoopla surrounding this arrogant kid bigtime prior to the draft and unfortunately that catch will haunt both the organization and the team's offensive performance for a few years to come. To be more precise, I wouldn't be at all surprised if head coach Lane Kiffin turns out to be the scape goat in the end.
From what I've learned so far, here's to a very poor Raider addition via the draft.
