You know you drafted a bust when:

Your QB cares more about how he dresses than his completion percentage:

Your QB ever has a shit eating grin on his face like this one:

Your QB looks like Shaq:

Your QB thinks he is a rapper:

I remember week 2 there was 2 minutes left in the game and he had only completed 3 passes WTF

Per Bill Simmon's mailbag:

Last night I'm looking over the final stats from Favre-a-palooza and I notice that Sidney Rice went 0-1 with zero yards passing, but had a QB rating of 39.6. JaMarcus Russell's QB rating for the year is 42.4!!!! Do you find this as hilarious and embarrassing as I do? A WR that throws one pass that goes for an incompletion almost has a higher QB rating than the Raiders' starting quarterback and the No. 1 overall pick three years ago.
-- Jason, New Port Richey, Fla.



Q: FYI, while playing beer pong, if you throw it too far and completely miss the table, it is now called a "JaMarcus Russell."
-- John, Fairfax, Wash.


Q: As JaMarcus Russell's QB rating draws closer and closer to 0.0, shouldn't statisticians change the QB rating system just for him? I was thinking it would go something like this: Once a quarterback's rating drops below zero, he enters "the Russell zone". This rating is based on stats such as yards off target per pass, attempts to the wrong team and number of broken jaws in coaching staff.
-- Bryan, Manhattan


SG: As you can tell, we had a three-way tie for the "JaMarcus Russell Historically Sucks" E-Mail of the Week. By the way, the "historically (blank)" trend has become one of my favorite media trends this year, and I'd like to think I played a small role in it. It's a subtle but effective way to completely exaggerate something. Someone can either suck or historically suck. A team can be great, or it can be historically great. What's weird is that there is no in-between phrase like "generationally (blank)." And there should be. In fact, I now can't decide whether Russell generationally sucks or historically sucks. Maybe we need a few more weeks.

Antonio Pierce shits on the Raiders
http://www.silive.com/giants/index.ssf/2009/10/pierce_playing_raiders_was_lik.html

"Honestly, it felt like a scrimmage, like a practice," Pierce said in the interview.

"There was no vibe of trying or effort from the Raiders at all from a defensive standpoint against their offense. We're getting three-and-outs. You don't hear nobody (saying), 'Hey, let's go!' trying to pick the guys up, rallying them, getting guys fired up. There was nothing. It was quiet," he continued. "A guy gets sacked or somebody gets beat, they just get up. It's not like there's yelling or no kind of (emotion) about the way they were playing."

Tony Gonzales shits on JaMarcus
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-morningrush101209&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

“On a scale of 1-to-10 in terms of work ethic, I hear [Russell]’s like a 3,” Gonzalez said. “You hear rumors [from other players] about some of these young guys who don’t get it at all, and I’ve been around quarterbacks like that. Matt’s a 10, which is what you’ve got to be to be a franchise quarterback. At Pro Bowls over the years, I’ve talked to Peyton a lot about this, and that’s the key to being great – a willingness to be prepared at the highest level.”

[MVP1991]

LOL this guy is fucking stupid. No other way to put it.

 

[bailey4mvp]

He is a POS, fat shit could not organize a root in a whore house, yet the crypt keeper insists on having this fat fuck as his franchise QB.

What a fucking joke of a team.

Hmm, at least he had a decent completion percentage....praise Jebus, HES IMPROVING!!

 

[xCH0Nx]

Over/Under 20 TDs for JaMarcus?

Are we talking season? Yes

Or are we talking career? Ummm... fuck it, still a yes

FYI: 16TD 16INT career

 

[Bear Pand]

Over/Under 20 TDs for JaMarcus?

He'd have to throw 19 TDs in 11 games, about 12 points a game. The raiders average under 10 points a game.

I still give him the season till i pass judgement. but he's still our QB and will be for the next few years so i look forward to improvement at the tail end of this season

Props to you for supporting a player when ppl [including teammates] constantly pointed out how lazy he is. I hope you don't own any Raiders gear cause Russell is basically eating your money every year when he shows up overweight.

How about bigger 07 Sugar Bowl bust: JaMarcus Russell or Brady Quinn.

Watch your mouth. Quinn hasn't been given a real chance. Quinn will succeed, just not in cleveland.

Carl Banks quotes on Russell...

"If you're going to be a starting QB in the NFL, a leader of a team, you can't wobble into training camp overweight looking as bad as you are......"

"This is the new generation of QBs.....you've got the Flaccos, Rivers, Mannings....Ryan...Sanchez....these guys came into the league working at their craft....this kid.....he's no better this year than he was the year before..."

"If you're going to invest that much money into a draft choice, number one, you better make sure he shows up on time and works....for a QB, football doesn't start at 9:00 when the bell rings.....it's a 24-hour deal"

"This is where personnel people miss it with QBs...they put them in the combine and they have a little checklist, can he throw this one, can he throw that one....and then they come out gushing about the guy can make every throw. But they have not yet sat with the guy and talked to him about what's important to being an NFL QB - technique, working at your technique EVERY SINGLE DAY, footwork, things like that....it's a failure on all parts, until this kid gets it."

 

[jaxjaggywires]

Russell is, without a doubt, the worst #1 overall QB I've ever seen...is it even close?
