I always thought Russell was inconsistent. He could and would make throws that only one or two NFL QBs could make (like rolling out, flicking his wrist and hitting a tightly covered receiver in stride 50+ yards downfield for a TD againt MS State) and then couldn’t make routine throws to open receivers (see the entire game against AU in ‘06). The light came on for him in the latter half of ‘06, but the rest of his career was a bit of s roller-coaster.

If you watch The Last Dance about how absolutely obsessed Jordan was with working hard and getting better, or hear stories of Kobe Bryant and his approach to working on his game...the list goes on forever.
Every one of those players has a work ethic beyond a normal athlete. J.Russell didn’t have the work ethic. Great talent got him a massive amount of money, maybe more than a lot of professional players would make in their entire careers. But he was a flop because he didn’t want to work hard.
I worked out with a guy who played with him at Williamson HS in Mobile. He said Russell hated getting hit and that Russell was always a little soft and shy if you got some licks on him. Some guys just don’t have the physicality or the drive to dominate.
