Nobody on here has questioned Russell's skillset. He has the biggest arm in the NFL and probably is one of the toughesst QBs, but it was all mental with him, and if he is in better mental shape, which it sounds like he is, then he could still turn into a great quarterback.

If he is signed, I want him to do nothing else but try and get good workout habits in his mind, and for him to do as much as he can to learn the offense. If he is a quick learner, then he may be ready to be the #2 by the very end of the season. He could possibly see playing time even at #3 QB if we are totally out of the playoff picture and playing in meaningless games.

If Russell somehow works out here, then I hope that nobody even thinks about starting him until at least 2012, and unfortunatley, Shanahan might not even be here still, so it wont matter.

I'm all for signing JR if Shanahan believes in him and thinks that he can reclaim what should have been a great QB...
Didn't you say this earlier in the thread?

I did say that. But i also think that if there is any chance at all they can rehabilitate him, then go for it. I think it is a bad decision to sign him, based on his past body of work, BUT....he has an unbelievable amount of raw ability and just maybe Shanahan is the kind of coach that can bring out the best in him.

I still think it is a bad idea, but if he can help our team somehow, i can put my biased attitude towards him behind me.
