Sorry Ryan Leaf, but JaMarcus Russell is the biggest bust ever! Don’t look now, but the Raiders just got better. Prolly the only time Jason Campbell’s been called an upgrade. What happens first? JaMarcus signs with another team or appears on the next season of ‘The Biggest Loser?’
Yahoo! Sports reported yesterday Three years after being selected with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, JaMarcus Russell is out of a job. The Oakland Raiders cut the quarterback on Thursday after a disappointing tenure in which the former LSU star earned $36 million to lead the team to a 7-18 record as a starter.
Reports indicated that Russell was tipping the scales at 300 pounds during the offseason, well above the 255 he supposedly weighed when he was selected in 2007. Ask anyone in the NFL to describe Russell and it wouldn’t be long before the word “lazy” was peppered into the conversation.

he’s the biggest bust, literally, but figuratively i would stick with leaf. the chargers gave up something like two 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder to move up in the draft and get him.
The Raiders paid over $5 million per win. Ouch. We should start a new pole. Leaf v Russell
