You couldn’t really tell if he’s playing or not playing, that’s a good thing.” You've got to be kidding me... is it me, or does JaMarcus have a touch of apathy. As Bears Coach Mike Ditka said to Jim McMahon during their Super Bowl regular season in 1985, "Are you stupid or do you just not care?!?" To which McMahon sarcastically relied, "I don't know and I don't care." C'Mon J-Russ, you've got your money - become a man and knuckle down. You have to make it about you on and off of the football field, taking responsibility even if it isn't. That would be a step in the right direction.

I never see this guy tell linemen their assignmnets, point out potential blitzers,etc. He comes to the line and runs his cadence. Physical talent will get you through college but not the NFL.

The Southern drawl has nothing to do with showing up early, leaving late, and all the other things NECESSARRY to excel at this level. Wonderlick or not, JR doesn't scream intelligence which, imo, is required at the QB position in the NFL. Him being satisfied with his horrendous play says all I need to hear. Could you picture Manning,Brady, Roethlisberger being satisfied? I know Oakland does not provide an environment for young players to thrive, but Russell is a big bafoon, sorry.

It's Russell. It's not the playbooks fault that he can't feel a rush and can't protect the football. It's not the playbooks fault that he can't complete a swing pass. It's not the receivers fault that he throws an absolute rocket to someone five yards away. He has too little touch, terrible accuracy, appears to have no drive, little commitment, pathetic resposibility, very poor field vision and....... why did we draft this guy again? Oh yeah, he has an arm. Hooray.... To RealMaddenRaider and any others that believe it’s the playbook’s fault or mainly due to the receivers (droppers perhaps?)… It’s Russell.

He sees the field better, and he has the guts to run for a first down. Russell is just here to collect $32 million. Gradkowski is a much better quarterback.

He scored a 24 on the wonderlic and Dan Marino had a 16. That's just southern drawl. I bet you with your logic would be lucky to break double digits. I glad they benched JR but not based on his conversation. Jmeds,
