While appearing on Sirius NFL Radio Show Moving the Chains on Wednesday, former Redskins’ great Joe Theismann took the opportunity to make JaMarcus Russell feel lower than rat excrement.
This is what Joe had to say (via Adam Schefter’s Twitter Page):
“I can tell you conclusively that JaMarcus Russell never will be able to play QB in the National Football League.”
More Theismann on JaMarcus Russell: “He just doesn’t get it.” Theismann advocates the Raiders trading for Jason Campbell, who does get it.
I couldn’t agree more with what he said, although where was this opinionated version of Joe Theismann when he was a broadcaster? This is the same guy that would make obvious statements about players and teams and would rarely (if ever) bring anything to the table in terms of an originial thought. Now all of a sudden he’s Curt Schilling.
Personally, I think the Raiders should stay away from Campbell and take Jimmy Clausen with the eighth overall pick. They need a young, confident quarterback that loves the game and will take charge of a situation. Not that Campbell doesn’t love the game, but he would be better for a team that was already established outside of the quarterback position (a team like the Vikings – minus Brett Favre, of course). Oakland needs to rid itself of the Russell fiasco and start fresh.
