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

[MTK]

Thanks to Twilbert07 for the tip

JaMarcus Russell to Meet with Redskins

Personally I say why not? He's no risk/high reward.

[Twilbert07]

Yeah, I agree. Initially I thought, "No way.," but after thinking about it for a couple minutes, why not? The bye week is perfect time to take a free look-see with no risk.

I suppose there's no harm in doing so, but does anyone really think this guy can be an NFL quarterback?

And please nobody bring up the mcnabb benching in this thread.. no way this is related.

I don't want him on our team. He's a bum. Remember how we used to laugh at him saying that J. Cambell was a huge upgrade over him? Sorry to bring up Mc5, but remember how we used to clown him for being inaccurate and putting too many balls in the dirt. But all of a sudden he comes here and some of us are giddy. Back to JR. He sucked his whole career but I guess to some of our fans "this may be a good pickup". My point... If we clown a player for sucking else where, how all of a sudden does that change when they come here?

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.

Nice joke Halloween is over guys.

[Hog1]

It appears it will be a........spirited bye week

[MTK]

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.

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

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

To quote Brady Quinn "That's suprising!"

So if they do sign him, is it Beck or Grossman who will be gone?

Grossman's body of work in a Skins uniform will be enough for him to keep him on the team.

To be honest. His regular season body work sucks! He is only around because of his relatonship with Kyle and his supposed knowledge of the offense.

As fas ar Russell, I do not see where he fits at all.
