The game that made Jamarcus Russell the number 1 pick.

Yeah, we all know how much of a joke Russell became, but some of the plays he makes in this game are ridiculous.

Strongest arm I've ever seen.  That throw at the 55 second mark may not look like much but that was a 25 yard pass (from his own 34 to the opposing 41) with almost no effort.

The throw at 1:17 is ridiculous too.  Was around 55 yards but it went further than that since it was a diagonal pass.  Again with not much effort.

He had all the talent in the world.  Ozzie Newsome had him as the highest rated QB he had scouted.

Like most busts, he wanted to party, not put the work in.  It's a shame, he could have been amazing.

That throw off balance at 2:11 was insane.  Not many pro QBs would have even considered trying it.  

You watch that, and you watch film of Tua, and you can't imagine how they are the same species.

The Gators used to eat his ******* lunch.  Threw 7 picks in 3 games vs. the Gators.  

That's all I have to add on this topic.

I bet you supplied the purple drank for him.

Between that and Kyle Bolller, it seems like Ozzie may have over valued arm strength in QB prospects. I wonder how much of that rubbed off on Joe Douglas.
