JaMarcus pulling weight with Raiders
After all the aggressive free agent moves made in Oakland this offseason, they wouldn't mean as much if the Raiders didn't see progress from quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2007. While rumors swirled that Russell had ballooned to 300 pounds earlier in the offseason, he took the field last week and proudly announced he was at 269. That's a relief to the Raiders faithful, and especially coach Lane Kiffin, who said the difference from what he saw from Russell was "night and day."

over rated..... YES, luckily he isn't overweight. I would think that being over a certain weight would void the contract, especially 300lbs.

too bad he can't learn an offense and the Raiders are being forced to use a limited playbook because he can't learn all the terms.

All you haters don't have a better prospect at QB, Squeeb you think Aaron Rodgers is gonna be better than Russell, or J. Campbell or whoever your favorite team is now?

lol squeeb you're a skins fan. Any team with Jason Cambell as its QB shouldn't be talking about someone being "over-rated."

269.. actually 283 but a beast. He still has many questions but has potential. Sad to say the raiders of today brings the worst out of potential stars...

He's had one year, sat out all of training camp, and you idiots are talking about him being overrated and his contract? Guess what, after this year you still wont know if he's overrated.
Now Alex Smith on the other hand, he's overrated. He's had several years to prove so.

What can I say.. something about the way this guy started his NFL path, just rubbed me the wrong way.
Why bring Campbell into the picture? I never said anywhere on this forum that he was the answer at QB.

He should have gotten his contract done in time last year and been on the field. He's still basically a rookie right now..

I'd like to see how he progresses with a full training camp this year and time to absorb the system.
The Raiders' D may be where it's at, though. Good system, good corners- it all depends on the pass rush!
