JaMarcus Russell is in his third year in the NFL. He’s played in 21 games, completed roughly 52% of his passes, thrown nearly as many interceptions (14) as touchdowns (16) and has a career QB rating of 70.8. Oddly, it took this long for the Oakland Raiders to acknowledge that he may not be a very good quarterback. In fact, he may be getting worse.

I don’t have the answer other than what I just said. It’s a number of things that happen and there has been a major emphasis on him, on JaMarcus, we’ve got to give [him] a foot rhythm that allows [him] to turn the ball loose on time and [he needs] to buy into that.’
↵“And he has, to repeat myself — we were making strides and — bam — we stepped back, and I don’t have the answer other than what I already said.”
