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

Also, who are these QBs who stunk it up and then proceeded to light it up later? And by "stunk it up" I mean play terribly, not so-so or "ok".
I guess I'll never convince you that the NFL has missed on QBs, because I'll name guys like Brad Johnson, Trent Green and Tony Romo and you'll just say something about how you knew all along they were better than terrible.

Isn't it possible the body language and play of his teammates had something to do with poor leadership and the fact they were going nowhere?

This you are right about, and it's actually the point I have been trying to make. He was immature, like most young adults, and it's possible that has changed (or could in the future). Don't write him off just yet. That's all I'm saying.

You act as if the only thing that matters for success is a good QB. You act as if Russell just had to make the decision to be good, and they would have won the Superbowl, regardless of how bad the rest of the organization was.
