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

[MTK]

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.

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.

Probably because we're better off letting Beck prove he cannot play than letting JaMarcus continue to prove he can not play.

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.
