Don't forget about the CD his coaches gave him to look over and let them know what he thought of the plays. Asked him to look at it overnight. Comes in the next morning and they asked him what he thought. He said he liked them. Well, the CD was blank.

Thank God Sam Bradford made over a hundred million and also lead zero teams to the playoffs. that means Jamarcus is the second biggest bust ever at over 60 million.

Probably the biggest waste of talent in the history of the league. Only Ryan Leaf comes close

Probably the strongest arm I have personally ever seen. He could decimate a receiver if he wanted to.

"In" should be "It". It's not like he took ALL the contract value and made it rain. Cool thing for him to do.
