JR's college career has always been misremembered and overrated in hindsight. It was a bad draft year and the idiot raiders have always been in love with the long ball. Notre dame's crappy defense made JR more money than anything. JR was ok but he was more of a 3rd or 4th rd project to anyone with a clue.

Exactly. He had the physical tools but nothing else.

Russell needed another year to perfect himself decent enough, but Russell was exactly what people draft in the first round. Aaron Rodgers had problems and was a first round pick. GB got him to develop him behind Favre. That's what should have happened to Russell. Drew Brees was another first round pick that had problems coming out and played terribly his first few years, but he had the talent.
Another thing people haven't brought up is Jimbo. I don't know what it is, but no Jimbo QB has been able to find his footing in the NFL despite MANY being selected in the first round. Winston, is a guy that still has major potential to become an elite QB, but Winston was a guy people talked about as already being a pretty damn polished football mind wise coming out of high school. Him, like Fields and Lawrence, and others, were considered guys that were just passing through college on to their destined first round status.

He probably would have found a way to lose several more games and ruin our national championship in 2007, just like he did with our 2006 team which should have been much better
He did not have the killer instinct or “it” factor. He found ways to lose games rather than win them.

These may be the 2 stupidest consecutive fricking posts in the history of the internet, much less the Rant. Like should be embarrassing for your family fricking stupid, but like you 2, they are likely too fricking stupid to even realize just how fricking stupid you you tucking stupid dipshits all are.
Not that you stupid fricks deserve it any more of my time, but I’ll go ahead and post some JR 2006 stats:
—led LSU To 11-2 récord and Sugar Bowl win
—completed 67.8% of his passes (1st in the SEC)
—for 3129 yards with 28 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions
—led the SEC in average yards per attempt at 9.1 (his career of 8.3 y/a still ranks 16th all time)
—led the SEC (and the nation in the Power 5s) in passing efficiency rating at 167 (his career PER of 8.3 still ranks 17th in SEC history)
—SEC Offensive POW 3 times
—1st team All-SEC
—winner of the Manning Award given to the nations’s best QB. This is the list of wii eres of that award:
Season Player Team
2004 Matt Leinart USC
2005 Vince Young Texas
2006 JaMarcus Russell LSU
2007 Matt Ryan Boston College
2008 Tim Tebow Florida
2009 Colt McCoy Texas
2010 Cam Newton Auburn
2011 Robert Griffin III Baylor
2012 Johnny Manziel Texas A&M
2013 Jameis Winston Florida State
2014 Marcus Mariota Oregon
2015 Deshaun Watson Clemson
2016 Deshaun Watson Clemson
2017 Baker Mayfield Oklahoma
2018 Kyler Murray Oklahoma
2019 Joe Burrow LSU
But yeah, he was overrated in hindsight and should have been. 3rd or 4th round pick.
Stupid fricking fricks.
