JustInFudge Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 300lb QB. lulz. He's been planning a comeback for a while. I think real sports did a piece on him. The guy might be the dumbest person the planet. I can remember them asking him if he'd take a contract in another league so he can get back into playing shape and "audition" to get back into the NFL. His response, "No, I'm an NFL QB." I guess he didnt realize you have to be on an NFL roster to be an NFL QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Its like when Charles Barkley was planning a comeback. It was a good story, he was watching what he was eating, reduced his weight, worked out seriously and then the next season his comeback DID NOT HAPPEN!

pointman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 His "comeback" is a bit of a lie. He was forced into retirement cause he sucks, he wants to come back but no one wants him to cause... he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If were to sign him we would have 3 dudes who are listed but suck at playing QB. If I was GM I would convert Tebow to being an H-Back. Russel to being a DT. With Mark Sanchez converting to being a Jets cheerleader Why .... "because it gives us the best chance to win".

JOJOTOWNSELL Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This has "woody" written all over it http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/01/29/report-jets-kick-tires-on-qb-bust-jamarcus-russell/ NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The Jets have had “some very exploratory, informal discussions” about mega-bust quarterback JaMarcus Russell, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. Russell was selected No. 1 overall by the Oakland Raiders in the 2007 draft. He hasn’t played a snap in the NFL since Jan. 3, 2010. The 6-foot-6, 308-pound Russell told Yahoo! Sports he was planning to attempt a comeback for the 2013 season. “The last few years, the things going through my life, football is my job and it is how it feeds my family,” he said. “People would say (that) I didn’t love the game but that p—– me off. People don’t know the real you but I want people to know the real me and see what I can do. People are always saying that I’m a bust. I want show them I’m not. I’m committed to this now.” On Monday, new Jets general manager John Idzik told WFAN radio he was “comfortable” with embattled starter Mark Sanchez on the roster, but would be adding competition at the quarterback position. Whether that comes through free agency, trade talks or the upcoming draft remains to be seen. “I’d say build any way you feel like you can get better,” Idzik said on the “Boomer & Carton” show. “That said, the draft will always be important to us.” Sanchez will be working this offseason with Jeff Garcia to get a handle on new coordinator Marty Mornhinweg’s offense. “I think he’s champing at the bit,” Idzik said. “And he wants to get going with his new coordinator. He’s all about competing. I got a really good feeling from Mark.” this woody guy just cant help himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 According to reports the New York Jets have been exploring the possibility of bringing in former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell. Russell was the number 1 overall pick of the Raiders in 2007 and became the poster boy for the more stringent rookie wage system in the new NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement. After holding-out into his rookie season Russell eventually signed a $61 million deal with Oakland, going 7-18 as a starter, with 18 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, a completion percentage of 52 and quarterback rating of 65 during 3 seasons with the team. Always seeming to be out of shape and overweight Russell was released by the Raiders in May 2010 then arrested in July of that year for possession of a controlled substance. He was contemplating a return to the Louisiana Swashbucklers of the Professional Indoor Football League in December 2011 since he played collegiately at Louisiana State University but never signed with the club. Currently weighing over 300 pounds and not having played professionally since 2009 Russell would be a long shot at making an NFL come back but the “look under any rock” philosophy apparently still applies to the Jets even with the departure of Mike Tannenbaum.

Instead he just spins a report saying he wants to make a comeback. More like "pay me for not changing at all." This "story" is over a year old. JaMarcus Russell could be coming back. According to the Lake Charles American Press, "rumors are swirling that the first pick in the 2007 draft could be joining the Louisiana Swashbucklers of the Professional Football League. Per the report, Swashbucklers media relations director Duane Bergeron said the organization "would not confirm or deny any contact with Russell or his agent." Likewise, team GM and president Chris Meaux said in a statement released to the American Press, "We are not prepared at this time to comment on any player contract negotiations." Though it seems like he's been gone for a long time, Russell last played for the Raiders on Jan. 3, 2010. He has 4,083 passing yards in 25 career starts. If the 26-year-old Russell returns to football in any capacity, it's surely a sign that he'd like to return to the NFL And, if he finally realizes that, he needs at least to try... http://www.bayoubuzz...-peyton-manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
