Yeah, true. I personally think it was strictly a work-ethic thing with Russell - When you're repeatedly told you have the best arm anyone has seen in years, possibly EVER, it gets in some guys heads and they create a feeling of entitlement. Thats probably why he held out so long and got so lazy - he tried to get by on talent, and he probably had been doing it his whole life/career.

But, for every JaMarcus Russell, there's a Tom Brady or Tony Romo, who all the scouts will miss on. No one gave Brady a chance, yet he came into the Pats organization and told Robert Kraft, man to man, face to face, that he would make him look like a genius. And this was a 6th round FLIER we're talking about.

I can't imagine, in his rookie year, that Brady wouldve have anything more than a C or B potential. He still doesnt have the STRONGEST arm, but he's probably one of the most accurate QBs ever, and he's always been accurate. He was put in the right system.

And something funny I read in a forum: It was either Tom Brady or Tim Rattay for that pick. Lol to think of what could've never been.
