“JaMarcus Russell is going to immediately re-energize this Raider Nation, that fan base, that football team.”
“Three years from now you could be looking at a guy who certainly one of the elite top five quarterbacks in this league.”
“It is the superior physical ability”
“A 2 – 3 year period under center and look out because skill level he has he IS CERTAINLY JOHN ELWAY LIKE“.
