That game doesn't help Russell's case. Again, the team was 100 times better with Gradkowski than Russell.

I just found these stats of his carrear 18 touchdowns 21 interceptions If you think about that its not horrible. I think last season was just so bad.

Those are awful stats.

Quote:

why, because he played on one of the worst teams in the NFL?

More likely because he was far and away the worst player on one of the worst teams.

Why would anyone sign this dude? He has shown no signs of being the slightest bit committed to being a professional athlete. He's clueless, immature and you'd be throwing away money by signing him - even if it is for the minimum.

I'm gonna reserve judgement on him until he plays for a team that's not on "C'Mon Man" every week.

Dude..****ssell's being grossly out of shape and repeatedly falling asleep during team meetings has nothing to do with the caliber of the team around him.

The guy's a bum.

Randy Moss seemed hopeless as a Raider, then moves to the Patriots and has a record breaking season. I'm not saying Russell has near the skills/talent as Moss but there is a correlation.

I would sign him if I was a GM but for cheap change, nothing over $2M.
