Jets kicking the tires on Jamarcus Russell

[JCane]

I'm disappointed in you cane, someone like you should understand there's absolutely no risk to bringing Russell in on a minimum deal.

Nowhere did I say it would work out, I have said numerous times the chances are he will never succeed but ther's no downside for ANY team to take a look and even bring him in for the minimum. If he sucks or has a bad attitude he's gone w/ no cap ramifications, if for some reason he works hard and plays up tp his talent a team gets a cheap QB.

You are better than this.

I'm not saying that there is a financial risk here. What I'm saying is that it's just not worth any team's time to even kick the tires here.

I would be shocked if anyone, even the Jets, signed JaMarcus Russell. He's trash. Let's be real for a minute.

My thing is, even though he's not a financial risk, he's consuming a roster spot that might be better used on someone else.

This is why I say that you should just come clean and admit that this is a stupid move by the franchise if you guys give him a spot.

They have already said they are not going to sign him, it was ust a discussion but if they did I'd have no problem w/ it unless they announced he'd start and they signed him to a 5 year cap busting deal.

There are plenty of roster spots for training camp, he'd have to earn his way onto a roster so again no risk.

If JaMarcus Russell "earns" a roster spot then that says a great deal about the bums you invited to training camp in the first place.

Maybe, maybe not. what if he actually plays up to his talent? we could say how bad NE was when a 6th rounder became the starter, it's silly. The history of this league is littered w/ guys who succeede in new spots after failing in their original spots.

JaMarcus Russell doesn't have any talent.

Dude hasn't played in four years. He's 300lbs with a poor work ethic.

How does this end?

He ate himself out of the ****ing league, He is not going to live up to his talent, what skills he had are now gone.
Just admit kicking the tires on the guy is ****ing moronic, maybe then you'll have some credibility.

AGAIN, the chances are remote but he has physical talent if he's willing to put the work in. There are a million examples of players thought to be done or have no talent that were given 2nd or 3rd chances that came back and played well. It likely wouldn't happen but there's nothing wrong w/ bringing a guy in for a look.

Your posting is realyl going downhill, you are turning into one of them who never reads posts.


Can one of you geniuses give me one reason it would be a bad move for ANY team to sign Russell to a minimum deal?

I might have cared what you thought about my posting a few months ago when you were semi-sane but no more. I'm no more of a psycho than you and your homerific rants that will go on even after you're dead.

Russell is one of the biggest busts in NFL history. Comparing him to Haynesworth and Chad Johnson was hilarious enough. Those guys at least accomplished something. Go ahead and sign him. I'm sure that will make Sanchez **** rainbows knowing they have little confidence in him.

But keep pushing your new agenda to bash me b/c you look silly when trying to debate me. join the vaark crew!

There's no need to bash you. You make yourself look foolish enough to this entire board. And yes I realize you don't care what any of us think. Of course. I look silly speaking to you. I might just start calling you either Dad or Sir since I'm completely beneath your professional and astute NFL knowledge.

Who cares if fellow Jet fans don't like it? they see the game the way the average fan sees it like most do. There is absolutely no risk to exploring a move like this.

We should all be so lucky to have such a smart, educated, and well-informed pro such as yourself staying here for years educating us bottom-feeders who don't trust our eyes or know anything. Gang Green is lucky too. To split your zen-like knowledge between TWO sites!

Praise Jesus!

Waste of time.

If the Dolphins were doing this kind of stuff I'd be killing them. I killed them for looking at Chad Johnson and look at how that turned out. Guess who wasn't at all surprised.

Only positive that would come from the Dolphins looking at Russell would be the clowning that I'd get to do.
