Deadlift
Hall of Famer
He had a great game, going 13-20 for 155 yards and 2 TD throws.
I have high hopes for him and I'm confident he'll do great things.

Brady being drafted so low in the draft could well work in our favour because it will prove not to underestermate the white QB again. Fingers crossed Russell completely blows it, we know Quinn won't!

This is just my take on it, but I think Jamarcus (Jamarkus) Russell however you spell his name has the potential to be the best qb of the young black bunch (IF! and it is a big if, he can get in shape and not be such a fat slob during his career and survive in Oakland). From what I saw of him in college he has some tools to succeed in the NFL at least somewhat, but he has alot of question marks and needs for improvement too, like learning not to rifle the ball all the time or force passes (seems like a re emerging theme with all these black QB's.) One of the reason's I think he could be better than Vince Young, is that Vince Young seems to suffer from the same sydrome that seemingly everyone of these black QB's who can run are cursed with. They lose their compsure, cant process all the information in the pocket as quickly as they must which then leads them to break protection and tend to run first and throw second. You just cannot succeed in the NFL over a long period of time with that attitude. You will either get injured or opposing defenses will quickly figure you out and you will be rendered ineffective like Michael Vick. Where Russel differs is that he is not fast at all. He is a bit shifty in the pocket, but he is primarily a pocket passer (because he has to be) who was sacked very few times in the SEC. He could be a better version of Leftwich. That is not saying much, but I think he has the potential to be a serviceable QB in the NFL. He could possibly be someone like a Drew Bledsoe, but he is not the Black Superman caste system dream. They will most likely quickly grow tired of him like they also did strong armed Aaron Brooks, when he doesn't live up to their unattainable goal of completely redefining the QB position, destroying the evil old (successful) white pocket passer in the process. I believe Brady Quinn will be much more successful in the longrun than Russell, if by nothing more than keeping himself in better shape and having more to prove. Russell also plays for Al Davis. God help anyone who plays for that Franchise now days, they need surely need it.

The biggest problem I see with Jamarcus Russel is that he's dumb as a rock. He can't read a defense. Kerry Collins was big with a powerful arm & dominated college at Penn STate but was never a good NFL Qb, he had 1 or 2 yrs where he was good but that's it, he can't read a defense & his thought process is too slow, same with Jamarcus Russell, I think Russell will suck, he'll be the black Kerry Collins IMO.
Biggest problem with Vince Young is that he shot-puts his throws. He threw more interceptions than touchdowns last year & I don't ever see Vince Young being a very good QB either. When he checks down his options combined with that shot put throw his passes come too late, he may get away with that in college but in the pro game the DB's are simply too fast.
Brady Quinn doesn't take pressure too well, never has, will he ever?.. I dunno!..
Brian Brohm IMO if he can stay healthy will be a million times better than Vince Young, Jamarcuss Russel, & Brady Quinn. IMO Brian Brohm is the best QB I've seen in YEARS!!
Don Wassall said:Quinn was punched in the face by Browns defensive end Shaun Smith in the team's weight room last week:
Smith, who has been slowed by a calf injury, did not play in Sunday's game. Crennel said Smith, known as the team's biggest trash talker, was inactive because of a coaches' decision.

It would not surprise me the least if it were a sucker punch. The sucker punch is a stable in the ghetto and something very,very common in the black community.
