So you were hanging out in the same place as him at the same time as him… and you felt sorry for him?


I wasnt gambling nor would I dress like a bum if I was. He had the look of someone that's been hanging out there way too much especially for someone that should have millions.

"I will agree with your comment about bonehead plays.
I remember the Monday evening game vs Tennessee him scrambling on 3rd down late in the game and running out of bounds to avoid a sack. Instead of throwing it away, and being able to kick a FG, we lost yards and had to punt. We lost by 3.
I thought it was the dumbest thing I ever saw a QB do."

I remember this play very well. This is one of many bonehead plays by JM at LSU. I think he threw the ball away after being at least 3 yards out of bounds.He had plenty of time to throw it away when he was still in bounds. I thought drafting him high was ludicrous. He never had the mind to play pro ball.

No denying the man has challenges, but the 2006 game at UT remains one of my favorite away games seen in person:

"Russell was the hero, however, as he completed 24-of-36 passes for 247 yards. Early Doucet, who scored the game-winner with nine seconds to play, had a game-high eight receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown.

LSU’s usual suspects, Dwayne Bowe and Craig Davis, were also a part of the act. Bowe had six catches for 89 yards, while Davis added three for 42 yards. Both scored touchdowns.

Unlike its previous two road losses, LSU established the running game by using a bevy of backs — Justin Vincent started, with Keiland Williams, Alley Broussard, Jacob Hester, Trindon Holliday, Charles Scott and especially Russell getting positive yards on the ground.

The Tigers rushed 45 times for 231 yards, led by Russell with 71 and Williams with 53 on 17 carries and a touchdown.

Tennessee (7-2, 3-2 SEC) saw its five-game winning streak come to an end due in part to the time its defense had to spend on the field: more than 41 minutes.

LSU had 81 offensive plays for 478 yards, while Tennessee ran only 50."

Jamarcus made some big plays with his feet in that game.

Anyone with half a brain knew he would be a bust in the NFL. This is a crock of shite. Jamarcus always needed structure. Raiders were a horrible spot for him. Put him with an organization like the Steelers or Packers, he would have had the opportunity to be much better.



When was the last time an organization with structure had the number one pick? For example, the Steelers haven’t had a top 5 pick since 1970. So yeah everyone knew he would be a bust if he went high because all of the high picks are shite organizations.
