JaMarcus Russell May Fit In With The Redskins:

Aparently JaMarcus Russell was on the short list of the Washington Redskins as late as June 1st. With his court case dropped and his apparent newfound work ethic, he may be a good fit for the Redskins as the third QB.
I know that we all have hard feelings toward JaMarcus for his lack of work ethic and his complete disregard for The Raider Nation or Tradition, but, I am all for giving a young man a second chance, just NOT in Oakland.
Wouldn't it be just like Mike "The Rat" Shanahan to make it his life goal to put JaHumty Dumpty back together while Al Davis grinds his teeth every time he sees #2 drop back.
I am in no way a JaMarcus fan, I burnt his jersey on the fire at the Food Network shoot, but, everyone does deserve a second chance. And hey, if he doesn't work out, maybe 'The Rat" will have tied his job to that 300 pound anchor.
Believe me, he is going to a place with very little offensive talent and he may just be a tackling dummy, but if this kid can have a few years as a back-up to put things together, he can be good.

Everyone deserves a 2nd chance...
Hell, Even ryan leaf got a 2nd shot in SD after Harbaugh got injured and even a 3rd shot with the Cowboys. However, Jamarcus Russell is probabily the worst QB of all the timez. and anyone wants to argue between him and Leaf they can. Why is it that California teams have drafted the biggest busts in the past 15 years. SD got Leaf, SF got Alex Smith, and Oakalnd got Jamarcus.

pull the trigger
I hope he does get signed by the skins or any other team for that matter. watching that fat slob lumber around, getting knocked on his donut in another uniform would be hilarious
Noone understands the thoughts of an incarcerated man. the years I've lost, I'm climbing this ladder looking up at this kid whose boss. He's 1/2 my age I'm still getting 1/2 his wage, but I need this check though. So I hold back 1/2 my rage. there's poison in my chest, so I pour it all on the page.

I would be suprised if he turns it around a little.
I don’t think he’ll be great by any means. But maybe getting cut and almost popped for possession was a bit of a wake up call.
go where your wanted
hey weatherman noone on this site wants to hear what you or any other quiefs fan has to spew out the side of your necks. find a site that accepts your kind and leave the S&B to the nation

As a Raider fan there is nothing I'd like more than to see Shanarat fail after entrusting his new franchise with such an obvious failure.
Usually I’m all for 2nd chances, but it was the way in which he fucked up that doesn’t really sit right with me. I just don’t think he has it in him to succeed. He’s too full of fat, pork, and excuses.
Then again, I can’t front like I’m not biased against dude. Before the Denver game, every time I saw Campbell drop back I’d cringe at his similarities to JaVoldemort. You just can’t get rid of 25 years of laziness and lethargy with 5 months of training to resurrect a long bust filled career.
At least in the short term perspective
this move reeks of desparation after what happened this past weekend. The most puzzling factor is that the issues the rat seems to have most with his team is conditioning. Does anyone think Russell can do the drills Haynesworth had to pass? Or if McNabb was too out of shape for a 2 minute drill, wait until ol #2 has to try to jog to the huddle to call a play.
You see a pimp's love is very different from that of a square.
The conditioning drills and 2 minute drills....
…hand nothing to do with Haynesworth not playing and McNabb getting benched.
Wonder if mcnabb is starting to regret not coming to oaklnd in the first place.

The Rat is alienating people left and right - first Fat Albert and now McNabb ... a team in decline

I want him to be as successful as he can be. I actually pity him, with all his supposed talent, and he was not even working to show it.
I hope he’s a changed man.

though i cant pity a millionaire
i do wish him the best.

Though irony doesn't get any sweeter than this
Meanwhile, on the other side of the nation, thought you all should see this:
Has everyone forgotten??
The only thing JaMarcus deserves a second chance at is the buffet line…and he is taking it. He made my life miserable for 3+ years, and I hope he enjoys his millions of dollars while everyone laughs at him and about him forever.
And on a side note
The Redskins D gives up 37 point to the Lions, and their response is to pull McNabb in favor of Grossman???
I think we all know how a stagnet offense can lead to a weak D.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
The Lions are a different team this year.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
Lions are MUCH better than their record.
They are a very good team.

I’d love to watch him get smacked around. Hell, I can’t wait till the next time we play the Redskins now. I bet our D-line would just loooove to see JR again.

Than he set out to reconstruct what he had back then…A team built upon a great run game with a “TE” n "RB"s leading the way in receptions n a “QB” that brought stability backed up by a “D” that was relentless…Than a “WR” was added later…
Is “D-Mac” our Marcus Allan…
Is Zack or Todd Christensen…
Is “JC” our Jim Plunket…
Who will be our Timmy Brown…

I hear ya
It was gut wrenching finding out that Crockett had been cut in favor of couple of guys who never panned out anyway.
Note: Allan -n- Todd Began Leading The Team In "82"
Van Eagan was “RB” n Casper/Chester were still the "TE"s but you get the picture…
+1 on the stats

Remember Maurice Clarette? I don't think that's how you spell it.
Shanarat wanted him him too, and we all know how that turned out. And the world of oak is right , you want to talk shit about Raider Nation don’t come here! R.F.F.R.
NO
THE ONLY REASON I WANT TO SEE JAMARCUZ RUSSEL EVER IN MY LIFE AGAIN IS IN ONE OF TWO SCENARIOS:
1) serving me my french fries when i go to mcdonalds
2) actually on the chargersso he can meet the raiders twice a year so we can get 18 sacks on him in one game and end his fuckin career!

I doubt JR will turn it around...
It’s great that he is getting a second chance, but he is not an NFL QB. He has so much physical talent to throw the ball that it hurts to know that there is nothing inside his head, not even hot air. This isn’t college where you can just throw the ball down field and have your WR run in it’s direction.
If Shanny didn’t think McNabb couldn’t run a 2-minute for either not knowing the system or not being in physical shape then I have no idea how he thinks JR can.
…I do hope he turns it around though, cause he does have just too much talent to let it go to waste.
Cable Bumaye! Raiders Bumaye!
I'm Confused..."Cut" -or- "Waived" -or- Is It The Same
11/2 Shawne Merriman (LB) Taken off IR (calf)
11/2 Shawne Merriman (LB) cut….
11/2 Randy Moss (WR) cut.
Not even on the wire so he’s a “FA” now or what…It says “Cut” not “Waved”…I’m confused…What is it..
http://www.nfl.com/transactions
Claim “Roids” “OLB” and cut…
Sam Williams “OLB” 30yrs old 8 seasons of nothing….
Claim “NoMoss” “WR” and place…
Chaz on the “IR” so we still have him if he can make a healthy comeback in “11”…
Or another option…
Cut “StupidMario” and give his roster spot to anybody with the heart to play…
Raiders Are Now On The Clock!!!!/_
On Jamarcus
Very hard to imagine he’ll ever be anything more than average for several reasons:
1. He doesn’t really like or care about football.
2. Physically and mentally, the game is too demanding for him, given #1.
3. Complete lack of mobility and ball security.
4. No ability to lead.
He’s a mess in so many ways. But one of his real crimes is that he’s not even interesting. Ryan Leaf, in his own awful way, was interesting. Jamarcus isn’t even that.
It’s so apparent over the last two years what a tremendous weight he was on the collective back of this organization. There’s little reason for any of us to care one way or the other where his fortunes tend.
One more thing
Raider fans have to love the complete clusterfuck Shanahan created this week with his lies and prevarications.
Completely transparent and completely hilarious. He’s failing mightily in Washington right now.
Yup
This bringing in the fat deuce is simply a way to f with mcnabb…. I am no mcnabb fan but you have to love this…. Whitlock who is hit or miss for me has a spot on take down of rat shanny’s lame efforts to somehow pass down the coaching mantle to his little shit son on foxsports… A funny read. Fuck shanny, haha I love how he’s failing…

We have 'Bigger
Fish to Fry," as early as this weekend vs. KanKiss City. This is not about wishing JR good or bad; we’re just elated his fatt ass is no longer here! The season is at the half-way point. We are serious about winning in the Bay Area; big props to the SF Giants; our Raiders must continue to fight to win (whether there is 59 thousands or 5900! in the stands.) My season tickets and my enthusiastic bets are not predicated on how many others are not there in attendance! We the fans notice it too: quess what, we know why too. I am looking for a good product to stay intact and on the field. …Go Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not Impossible But A Long Shot
Shanahan is a stickler for fitness so JaMeatloaf needs to be in stellar shape with whatever fat to body ratio that he’s supposed to be at. That’s even to get consideration. How he would unseat McNabb seems completely unrealistic at this point.
I think it is all show and tell to send a message to McNabb that he needs to step it up in all areas of his game. I noticed how McNabb would sort of give up at the end of games as well (including the Eagles SB appearance when he threw the worst kind of INT). Shanny is not one to overlook body language but how he can expect to get any better pewrformance from meatloaf is a joke.
Is Shanahan trying to alienate his stars? 1st Haynesworth and now McNabb. Grossman?!
how he can expect to get any better pewrformance from meatloaf is a joke.
Then, after claiming McNabb hasn’t adequate grasp of the playbook he adds that he’s also physically unfit and brings in JaBlob for a workout withing 24 hours of that statement! (?). Anyway, this is all distracting. We, thank heaven, are no longer so dysfunctional … “there but for the grace of God go we” (Augustine).
Okay, forget the circus outside and focus on these upstart Chiefs who we should beat down like the ill-bred halfbreeds they are.

He should go to Minnesota instead
He does like purple things after all. :D
Shanaghan is full of BULLSHIT !!!!
That was a bullshit excuse, for one !!! He did trade for McNabb, and if I’m not mistaken, he passed a physical then, 2 !!! 3, and this is big one. He benched McNabb, who’s been there since April, who for the last 12 yrs, has run some type of 2 min. offense in his stay in Philly, for Rex GROSSMAN !!! Sorry folks, but this smells of something else, other than football !!!
Far as Russell, good luck, but long as he’s in denial about his situtation he’s most likely to repeat them. Do the same things over & over, expecting different results !!!!
To this day...
I can’t figure out how Rex Grossman ever took a team to the Super Bowl.

everyone deserve a second chance
I know he can be a very good QB, if he has the protection and good coaches. If we had HL before it would have been a different story. He did not have the protection and he is a pocket guy that means he has to stay in the pocket and throw. That is why you see our starting QB is always out,
