Jamarcus Russell

He didn't even make it 5 years

[Aso]

He played for the Chiefs in the '80's right?

Edit: was thinking of Todd Blackledge but that's incorrect. This is an interesting one though.

How do you play 12 games as a QB and go 3-7 for 60 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT's

I think it's just any game where they appear. So, if dude comes in and just hands the ball off a couple times, it still counts as an appearance.

[Berowsk]

I remember on the original VSN we had a Guess the Player thread. We should turn this into that, where the winner gives clues to the next player.

[Houston]

I was thinking Curtis Painter until I read the 1st round clue.

[Derrville]

What decade is this QB from?

[Warner2BruceTD]

I was thinking Tommy Maddox or Ken Stabler, but both are wrong.

I know but why would you come in just to hand the ball off for in 12 games?

[Berowsk]

I was thinking Dan McGwire or Akili Smith?

He may have come in at the end of games to take three knees, or maybe he was the holder for part of the year. In all cases, it's a game played.

The only person to ever throw for 25 yards in his rookie season was Falcons Ben Bennett who went 1 for 2 for 25 yards in 1984, but he was a 6th round pick.
