With a good personal workout, and this solid performance he may surpass Quinn as the Raiders #1 overall selection.

no way...he has no running ability , I just can't see this guy anywhere near ready as a passer and he doesn't appear to be a runner at all, even in college.

Theres one thing everyone is forgetting about Russell vs. Quinn.

#1 - Charlie Weis is very well respected in the NFL and he LOVES Brady Quinn. These NFL coaches and GMs always speak to college coaches about the player. Les Miles is NOT respected yet, I can promise you that.

#2 - They will look at career's. Not one game. Quinn is playing with less offensive talent around him vs. a better defense. Russell is shredding up a white boy defense that has been lit up by everyone.

I'm not saying Russell wont be a first round pick or that hes not talented.

Might not be #1, but think he will be top 5 if he comes out.

nothing will be decided until pro days at all the universities. when all the scouts can see these guys up close, more assessments will be made.

put me in the category of those who think that Quinn will be underwhleming in the NFL. Will never be as good as Vince Young, Matt Leinart, or Jay Cutler

he should stay at lsu for one more year, have a kick ass season and maybe heisman hopes, then come out and he should be a top 3 pick, but guy still could use another year of work at the college level to develop more imo.

1 thing to remember AL Davis is the shot caller in Oakland, and he seems to ear on the side of retardation sometimes when it comes to picks. He will watch this game if he isnt passed out already, and hear about this guys potential and blah blah blah, and his viagra will give him a hard on for JaMarcus.

p.s. i think Quinn is the most NFL ready QB, but Russel will be the best. I only wish he would drop to #9 for my dolphins to draft

He can throw a ball 85 yards...that is the most incredible thing I have ever heard.

I started a thread last year about his arm strength and said it was the strongest arm I had ever seen...I didn't know it was THAT strong.

Journeyman, Russell can definitely run. He's a bigger, stronger version of Dante Culpepper. He needs to polish his passing, but he has all the tools and more.

Clip, apparently when he was a freshman at LSU, during practice he got on one knee and threw the ball 65 yards. Shit is legendary.

"Buckethead" Bradshaw said he can throw it 60 yards from his knee. If thats True it is amazing. Most people cant throw a baseball 60 yards from a knee let alone a football.

his arm is incredible, there is no doubt about that

so was kyle boller's

the final thing is marketing and selling tickets

and teams would much rather have Brady Quinn as the face of their franchise, a young Tomy Brady-like Golden Boy from Notre Dame, instead of some Daunte Culpepper/Byron Leftwich type

dont forget this whole thing is about money

i think russell would be a great fit in oakland though, especially with randy moss

you gotta be kidding me...

The guy already had awful coaches at lsu and you want him to stay another year?

I am convinced he is the best qb coming out....

He might as well come right out and sign with the raiders..

the guy has a cannon for an arm goodness, gracious!!
