I see a lot of comments about JaMarcus... what’s craziest to me is how loaded LSU was in NFL talent. Brandon LaFell, Early Doucet, Dwayne Bowe, Jacob Hester... Russell was throwing to NFL talent all over the place
RamMan Banks they made the NFL. 😂 not many D1 guys ever play in the league. For Russell to have two NFL starting WRs as well a solid 3 in Early Doucet to throw to is rare. Plus D-Bowe was a Pro Bowler for several years.

Had 4 NFL Wrs as well to throw to, which definitely hid some of the issues he had. When he showed up overweight at the combine, red flags should have been flying everywhere
Josh Johnson True Jamarcus Russell Story : The Raiders coaching staff gave Jamarcus Russell a tape full of plays to see what plays he likes. The next day they tell him so what you think about the plays he said I like them all. Turns out the tape was blank he had no idea. While the Raiders knew all about it.
@@str8uce_148 It honestly looked fake when he threw the fucking ball, it's absurd how strong he was, if you showed this to someone who didn't know what they were looking at and said it was CGI it would be believable, to this day I've never seen a human being throw a football so far and so hard with such ease it's just mind blowing to see. I would absolutely love to know how far he was able to throw a football in his prime, if you told me he could stand in the end zone and effortlessly chuck it across the field through the uprights I would 100% believe it lol.
Mental health is just as important as physical health...He was dealing with deep depression during his short time with the Raiders due to the loss of multiple family members and the Raiders abandoned him after a coaching change and not realizing that the young man needed some serious therapy...I am glad there is more awareness to mental health for athletes in 2022...
Bro he was lost in the codeine sauce. Raiders did everything they could to help their #1 overall pick succeed. This man was given a DVD with plays the Raiders wanted him to take a look at and what he thinks of the plays, he took the DVD home with him and the next day they asked him if he liked any of the plays.

I was at the LSU vs Iowa (Capital One Bowl) three rows behind Sabin's LSU bench, they were down by a couple of touchdowns to Iowa in the fourth quarter. Sabin benched his starting qb and replaced him with Jamarcus Russel, within minutes Jamarcus brought LSU back and were leading the game before Iowa made a miracle touchdown right in front of Sabin and in front of us. Jamarcus looked awesome, he had the makings of a great NFL qb.
JaMarcus Russell, in my mind, had the strongest arm in football history. He the only person that could be mentioned that had an arm stronger than Farve. Just a flick of the wrist and it’s out at MAX velocity it’s insane.
@@brettmerrick8271 You’re absolutely right, he definitely has one of the greatest arms ever too. Lighting quick release, one of the quickest I’ve ever seen along with velocity and distance. Russell could throw some ropes too, but unfortunately he wasn’t committed enough to showing off that arm talent.
@@thebigmick1348 Exactly. Most of his throws were just tossing bombs downfield into covered receivers who kept coming down with them. The vast majority of NFL QB busts had major red flags coming out of college that would have been obvious with film analysis.
If he was drafted in today’s NFL he would have been a star. The arm talent is so glaringly apparent. The way offenses are played these days. Oh man. On the other hand. The poor eating habits, the drug problems, and the lack of football iQ will hold you back in any era.
@@chrishandsome4267 If you know football the skills are apparent. The Sugar Bowl game tape makes that obvious. This is why he went #1. Anyone who goes into the NFL is not a finished product. You have to work on your skills to get better at the next level. Defenses, verbage, and speed of the game are alot different than the college level. In the pros everyone is a 7-10 skill wise. You are playing with grown men with families. They are called Pros for a reason. In college, skills levels are everywhere. The best player on certain college teams are not good enough to get looked at by the NFL. This is where he got into trouble. He wanted to be an NFL quarterback but didn't want to put in the hard work necessary to stay an NFL quarterback. That's the difference between a good pick up and a bust. Work ethic.
Just watched his interview with the guys, he is right. If they put their arms around him like LSU did, he was a team guy. He woulda taken them to new heights
Wasn’t that the greatest interview ever…. Man born and raised in New Orleans, went to LSU after basic training and bleed purple and gold…. J-Rock is still one of my heroes, I was so glad to , what don’t break a ninja make a ninja….hey the joke is on them, that man is near 40 and still walks straight and still got money. Good for him
His arm strength is way stronger than Mahomes. The average fan who doesn’t know football swear Mahome’s currently has the strongest arm in the nfl, when in fact Josh Allen and Herbert currently have stronger arms than him!
People don’t understand. Jamarcus Russell was a 6 foot 5, 250 pound quarterback who could throw it farther than any other qb ever and was also a good scrambler! That sounds like everything a franchise qb is in my books. He is a bust because he was lazy and got fat and lost his skills. If the raiders took Calvin Johnson, the lions would 100% have taken Russell
If height, weight, and throwing power are your metrics for determining a franchise quarterback, I think you need to re-evaluate your understanding of the sport.
@@OGMeatball between him and Farve, there's a clip out there somewhere of one of the LSU WRs going up for the ball Russell's freshman year and the ball pulled him about 2-3 yards

Forgot how accurate he was when he had just a little time. He was by himself and in over his head in the NFL. If the Raiders had basically assigned someone to him to keep him on track then he’d still probably be playing. Most 22 year olds would make mistakes in Calif with $32.5M.

You LSU fans have NO IDEA what "suck" really is. Try going through a 3-9 season where your team is losing by 30 points nearly every game like I did! Les Miles didn't suck, he was a good coach. LSU also had some 10-11 win seasons as well, even had a National Championship with him. Hell, had LSU has some offense in 2011, they would've possibly won it that year or at least not lose by 21.

The raiders had a feeling Jamarcus wasn’t studying film they were giving him. One of the assistants came up with an idea of sending him home with a tape to watch, except it was like a spongebob episode or something. Next day they asked him if he studied the blitz formations they sent him home with, looked all of them in the eye and said “yup, now let’s hit the field” 😂 😂 😂
The only thing surprising is how my raiders choose him when AL davis regime was all about weird SPEED picks. Calvin johnson shouldve been #1 by that standard. The one year we decided to be " responsible" 😅😅😅.
Is no one gonna acknowledge on that second touchdown pass that Jamarcus got hit, defender lost his helmet due to impact, and Jamarcus is still standing like nothing happened?
UFOuknow you’re stupid yes he was talented but he was injury prone. Say we had the best offensive line in the league it wouldn’t had mattered because he kept getting hurt. Still was a big fan.
I'm from VA and a die hard tech fan..that was a really hard game to watch at the end..Marcus Vick was an elite QB foe us...Eddie royal was our a key receiver..and I think we had that monster Adib as our linebacker..good times
It was the same rhino with Tim Tebow. Both guys dominated college playing on a roster loaded with NFL players. There were 3 WRs that he was throwing to that had decent NFL careers. Russell had a big arm but he’s throwing to NFL caliber WRs against college competition

Next day they asked him if he studied the blitz formations they sent him home with, looked all of them in the eye and said “yup, now let’s hit the field” 😂 😂 😂
money trees old news dude
This is the reason why now with all the hype wit Caleb Williams I'm like don't put all your chips with one player
It's a shame he didnt wanna try to stay in shape enough to do this in the NFL
He prolly wouldn’t have been a bust at any other pro team. The Raiders create busts. Joke of a franchise.
That arm strength was crazy
As somebody who is from another realm/universe, Russell is a very respected player and in the NFL hall of fame. So is OJ.
This guy is going to be someone, one day..
Dwayne bowe, early doucet, and Brandon Lafell? Sheesh
Odj, Jarvis Landry lol
The only thing surprising is how my raiders choose him when AL davis regime was all about weird SPEED picks.
Calvin johnson shouldve been #1 by that standard. The one year we decided to be " responsible" 😅😅😅.
TraRob-EastSide 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Rolando McClain🤦🏻♂️
Hilarious the irony isnt fair at all
Is no one gonna acknowledge on that second touchdown pass that Jamarcus got hit, defender lost his helmet due to impact, and Jamarcus is still standing like nothing happened?
Damn... I forgot what a cannon this dude had!
As a ND fan I knew what game you were referring to before I clicked.
SilentAssassin69 me too #GoIrish
Hey great work bro was wondering if you could do a Darren McFadden
Kurger Bing DMac was a good player for us it’s to bad he was injury prone.
You guys wasted him with a crappy oline.
UFOuknow you’re stupid yes he was talented but he was injury prone. Say we had the best offensive line in the league it wouldn’t had mattered because he kept getting hurt. Still was a big fan.
Man this guy is gonna have an AMAZING NFL career I bet!!!
Plus, not only was he lazy, he was dealing with family loss of both of his uncles during the nfl seasons.
From his own 40 to the 8 with a flick of the wrist. Got damnn
Alternate timeline is he is still playing and about to retire with a hall of fame career
BC vs VA Tech 2007 a game to remember?
I'm from VA and a die hard tech fan..that was a really hard game to watch at the end..Marcus Vick was an elite QB foe us...Eddie royal was our a key receiver..and I think we had that monster Adib as our linebacker..good times
You should do USC vs Ohio State 2009
It was the same rhino with Tim Tebow. Both guys dominated college playing on a roster loaded with NFL players. There were 3 WRs that he was throwing to that had decent NFL careers. Russell had a big arm but he’s throwing to NFL caliber WRs against college competition
this guy looks like hell be a beast in the nfl
This guy had a arm man🚦🚦🚦🚦
That man arm was unreal. Dude had a cannon.
He throws it so easily like a baseball
Once he got that big ass rookie check he stopped caring.
He wasn’t even stepping all the way through with his throws.. wtf lol
This was the Notre Ame era. Weis defenses stunk against most teams, but against that kind of speed they were hopeless.
We could have gotten Megatron instead 😑
Andy Reid could've made something out of Russell he did good for LSU all that matters to me
What a throwback
I miss when the players still cared about bowls. Good times man. ❤
Damn this guys looks really good.
I wonder if he could be a successful first overall....
