Or why it was even necessary to be made public.

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

If Dallas, Giants, or Philly brought him in for a look or signed him, would you and others that agree with you think this was a good pick up or positive move? HELL NAWWW! You all would be laughing your butts off and talking about how much of a bust that he REALLY IS!!

Of course we would blast other teams for bringing him in. You seem to have a hard time figuring out what this "fan" thing is all about.

Oh and jokes aren't your thing either apparently.

No I don't have a hard time figuring out what this "fan" thing is all about. I just don't spend alot of time on "Cloud 9", so would you please send me a postcard while you're there? Just because I'm looking at things from a REALISTIC standpoint doesn't mean I don't understand what it takes to be a fan. Oh yeah jokes may not be my thing, but neither is kool-aid slurping. What is it like?

The reality is that JR has more physical talent than the NFL has probably ever seen from a QB, and he was drafted by a dysfunctional organization with a shitty line and no leadership. Nearly every single "expert" in the industry thought he would turn into something special -- in a few years. That was 3 years ago.

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.

MTK · 11-02-2010, 02:54 PM

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

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

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:
