But Russell's just fat and lazy, and can't throw the ball to a wide open receiver, even when he has time to set his feet. That's not culture...that's suck. > I think if you drop the best 10 players in the NFL in there, they would > start losing in just a few games. > Yes, they would, but they would be able to throw a pass. > I think if the Pats ended up with Russell, or Steelers, or Miami, he would > either show his talent, or be shown for a player who is not willing to put > the work in.

Russell never impressed me much at LSU (A school with a track record for turning out fat, lazy pros by the way...i should know, several of them play for my Chiefs!). He struck me as a product of his system with the Bayou Bengals. I remember thinking Davis screwed up again when he drafted Russell #1, then screwed up again when he gave him all that money......and now he'll stick with him while he does exactly what I though he'd do....lose. He may yet prove me wrong, but I don't see ANY positive signs right now from Russell. None. I think he sucks.
