Boy was I wrong on that one.

I was trying to tell people this when he was JR's back-up. It goes to show you that CLM can be wrong too

But but but Jamrcus could pass the length of the football field on his knees.

Please tell me you are joking, because other wise you are fresh off the tard farm.

If you don't realize that Lee is a better passer than JJ and can read defenses better than you know nothing about football. JJ is definitely the better athlete though.

please shut yalls dam mouths about racism it has nothing to do with that, and yall just feel the need to bring stupid arse crap like that into these conversations to make yourself feel better, no need for trolls!

Just like you're still wrong about JR and Flynn in college.

I beg to differ. It will always be about race to people who constantly have race on their minds, regardless of what side of what argument they are trying to argue for/against. It's the immaturity of the area. Race this, racist that. I keep waiting for the next phase and it never comes. Like you're at a party with a record that is skipping and all in attendance are eiither too oblivious or too drunk to even notice.

Yeah Jamarcus has really shown his talent and intelligence

Just like you show your intelligence by arguing Flynn was a better QB in college. He is clearly superior at being mature and handling everything when on his own, but JR was still the better QB while at LSU.

Russell was a far better QB at LSU than Flynn was. Not only did he possess more natural talent than Flynn, Russell also performed better on the field. I love Matt and always will for QBing the NC team but anyone that says that he was better at LSU in anyway is either really dumb or really racist.


It appears as though Flynn will have the better NFL career, but I think he was in a better situation to succeed than Russell was. Flynn was able to learn from the sidelines from a coaching staff that is great with QBs. Russell was drafted by one the absolute worst ran teams in the league with a horrible head coach that didn't want him in the first place. Not sure if any QB could have succeeded in Oakland under the same set of circumstances as JaMarcus faced. The one that actually probably hurt him the most was being drafted #1 overall. If he had slipped in the draft he would have ended up with a better team and having something to prove. Getting all that money and unwarranted sense of entitlement by being taken #1 overall was just what he needed to destroy his career.

Russell believed his press clippings and his agent.

Flynn has had the chance to be a back up for years.

When they were at LSU I preferred Flynn, because he knew where the chains were and kept drives alive by running to the chains.

Boy was I wrong on that one. Flynn's got almost a third of JR's career TD passes today.

Me too Ritt. And Les too.

After JR was drafted No. 1 Les said..."see we were playing the right guy after all."

To be fair JR had a pretty darn good senior year, every bit as good as Flynn's senior year if not better IMHO. Both good college QB's but one had a better work ethic obviously. When you get to the NFL it's a man game and you have to choose to do the work yourself to keep up. Flynn obviously has, and JR obviously has not.
