[quote=Mattyk;755409]He's obviously not a short term solution, he would need to sit for a year or two. Having a mentor like McNabb certainly wouldn't hurt.[/quote]

JeMarcus needs to stay away from the southern cooking. Is he under 300 pounds?

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

[quote=irish;755480]He's way worse than Rex. Rex took a team to the Super Bowl. Last time I checked JR hasnt won a handful of games. He's shown what he is and he doesnt have what it takes to be a QB in the NFL.[/quote]

Neither have what it takes to be an NFL QB therefore which is worse is material.

[quote=Mattyk;755402]You can't question his raw talent, if he gets his head on straight he could be scary good. If he's dedicated to doing that, he could be a steal for somebody. For a minimal deal I wouldn't hesitate to give him a shot, especially if someone is vouching for him like Lucas.[/quote]

Maybe a mentor like McNabb is what he needs. They're somewhat similar in talent makeup. Russell just never learned how to use his skills in the NFL.

If we're down to Beck at QB...we're screwed anyways, so why not throw a not-so-distant #1 overall pick out there and see if he can finally catch on?


OR, see if he can snap and put his 300-pound butt in the center of the line. Finally replace Rabach.

I don't know, it's stupid we're even talking about this. If anyone but McNabb plays this year, it's because the coaching staff has a ridiculous amount of faith in Grossman for what he has accomplished in his career.

Coach Shanahan is a workaholic.

He uses a week off to squeeze in MORE WORK! :cheeky-sm

I do find the timing interesting.

Bye week.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Why not kick the tires?
I remember Mike Mayock said that Russell's pro-day was the most impressive he'd ever seen.
Talent isn't the issue with Russell its everything else.

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

[quote=irish;755498]I agree there is no harm in working him out but I just dont see why with all the other problems this team has they would bother wasting their time with this guy.[/quote]

It's not cutting into anything else their day doing to include him in a list of people they work out on what is commonly a day to work out unsigned players while the guys on the roster rest

The advantage he has over Rex is 25 vs. 30, basically

End of the day, I think this is probably a non-story. But like I linked earlier, Shanahan has been intrigued (for lack of a better word) in Russell since this past summer

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Plus you need someone to throw to the receivers you're working out, so why not give JR a look in the process?

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Id rather have Jamarcus Russell all jacked up on Purple Drank playing left tackle than Heyer!!!

re: Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)
 

Maybe they worked him out at Center or Guard...

I'd take CrustyRedskin from Butthole Tx over Heyer, and yes, the word on the street is J. Russell was not taking, but making snaps! Heyer should've been gone two years ago!

:frusty:
