Raiders QB's @ Voluntary Workouts

[derringer007]

B.Gradkowski C.Frye are present

I know its only a "Voluntary Workout" but if you are on the cusp of the Ryan Leaf syndrome, and at the same time creating your own syndrome by burning 32 NFL bridges as J,Russell seems to prefer doing, wouldn't you be at these Workouts ?? Not Jamarcus.................

JaMarcus Russell too busy for team

Is it just me but didn't it seem the amount Frye rec'd was a bit high?

JaMarcus reminds me of Baby D from Next Friday

Roethlisberger skipped in Pittsburgh as well.

Roethlisberger skipped in Pittsburgh as well.

Not sure he was not told to not report. They want him totally out of the limelight till the initial investigation is over. At least that is some of the rumors I have heard.

Roethlisberger is a successful QB who knows the offense and seems to be smart, questionable judgement aside. Russel, from all appearances, is genuinely as dumb as a quarry of rocks.

Not sure I would call him dumb, just lazy. You don't fall into millions of dollars like he has by being dumb.

It's football, man. If you've hit the genetic jackpot like Russel has and have coaches that are willing to tune their offenses around your skills, you'll get to the NFL just fine. As for his intelligence, Pat White relayed a story that Nick Saban told him that he wasn't sure that his QB had the brains to learn the offense and that's why he wanted White to join LSU. Nick Saban might be a dick and the next best thing to Satan, but if he has doubts about a player's smarts I'm willing to listen.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Russell was drafted, their were major concerns about his "technique". I didn't watch much LSU football, but I know enough about the transition from college to NFL to have a red flag pop up about this guy. But hey, I'm sure his combine was impressive..............
