Jamarcus Russell >>> Peyton Manning??
What, Peyton Manning?! Are you crazy? I can see the Raider haters now. Colts fans are screaming how dare you compare Jamarcus to Peyton, that's insane. And your right Jamarcus is his own man, and could be better than Peyton, what are you crazy as they hurl their insults at me again lol. Well although nobody can predict the future you can look at the process at least. let me show you similarities to what Jamarcus has quietly been doing in comparison to Peyton. First off, if anyone cares Jamarcus scored a 24 on the wunderlic test and Peyton a 26. Hmmm... pretty darn close there. Now the work ethic. Jamarcus has been studying like crazy and proving it to his offensive coaching staff. He is also the first one in and the last one out during offseason workouts. Which means, your leader, the QB, should be leading the way and he is doing that in hard work. When someone on NFL access talked to Kirk Morrison he said that Jamarcus has been running with the LBs and everyone else and has been the hardest working Raider this offseason. When the offensive coaching staff gives him scenarios from the plays hes been learning, he will tell them exactly what needs to be recognized or done and then tells them this is old news give me new stuff, and this happens consistently. His mindset is completely different with much more confidence and decision making. Now not only is he working as hard as Peyton ever did, but Jamarcus has far more gifted abilities. Hes bigger and stronger, much more mobile, and has an arm like no one else, maybe ever. Now we throw in a great running game due to Tom Cable with a potential superstar homerun threat in Darren McFadden and the sky is the limit. Oh yes, and the Raiders have been quietly adding many tall, fast, athletic, physical WRs this offseason. They have about 8 WRs, veteran and drafted, that range from 6'2 200 to 6'4 225 and one is 6'3 240. And they are fast and physical especially a few of the bigger ones. There will be plenty of competition this year for the WR positions. One thing i like about Kiffin he definitely has the attitude of commitment to excellence. It doesn't matter who you are, just about your hard work and commitment. and it seems to be at least reflecting in Jamarcus and others have followed. When was the last time during an offseason workouts for the Raiders that you heard they were too intense like we heard last year. Actually a prominent coach who went around to the different mini camps said the Raiders were the most intense and focused. And then someone complained, which was probably Lamont Jordan cause according to Sapp he gets lazy. Jamarcus Russell: could be Peyton Manningesque. | Bleacher Report  |

I'm not having this arguement again. All I said is that he's better at guard... which is 100% true.

He's a bust in terms of being the #2 overall pick. But if he's a starter on the o-line for a long time, how big of a bust can he be? Its not like he's off of the team or out of the league. |
