re: JaMarcus Russell

I think I had one post in this thread.
Not only are you a bitch, now you are a liar as well.

Did you not bump this thread when you could have just linked it in the other thread?

sorry dude.. it was from few hrs earlier, thought it was just as easy to bump.

I actually like him repping BAMA with his popularity level now.

You got me Dude. Russell was the only QB in the NCAA who could have done that

And LSU was the only school in America that Russell could have succeeded at.

You're trying to have it both ways, obviously.

no QB in history has ever been treated so much better than deserved while at LSU than JaMarcus. Noboby

This is easily the most incorrect statement in a 6 page thread full of absurd statements.

no kidding

i hate when this thread gets brought up seemingly every week now. you get half the people rooting for his failure, other people assuming he'll blow all his money based on unknown facts i guess, then a small minority who recognize how good he was and are able to put things in perspective

i sure wish we had jamarcus this year over the chuckleheads we do have...

because hes black

there, i said it...and i hate to bring up race because i like to believe people are better than that, but its the only reasonable answer i can think of as to why people assume that

Yeah he is the only black quarterback that played for LSU, right?

Booty and Howard took more crap than JR. They were less talented but they played just as hard, got beat up more on the field, and played played when LSU had a coaching deficit.

actually, a cousin-in-law of his sells Crimson Tide gear on the side of the road outside of Tuscaloosa on game days...he was just promoting his business

I understand now. I would do anything for my cousin-in-law

Don't forget he gave Saban props for getting him drafted 1. on a radio interview right after the draft. No mention of Less or LSU.

He's a poster boy for 'Bama in that he's promoting them, and Saban can use his as a cautionary tale about why he rides his players so hard, and why he insists on the serious work ethic, etc.

There was a lot of tension between them at LSU, but seems JR became thankful for that after the fact. Problem is, without someone riding him (and the NFL money in the bank, rather than being held over your head before you get there) no one can push him except himself, and he obviously doesn't have the drive to do that.

I knew he was going to be a bust, because all things considered he wasn't great at LSU.
