Sounds Like QB JaMarcus Russell’s Workout With Bears Went Well

Is that any different from the JaMarcus Russell that was with the Oakland Raiders? What other demeanor do you expect from a QB trying to win a job? I do remember his big arm. It was big, but he couldn’t find an open receiver for the life of him. He would toss it down to the open piece of grass over and over again.

It would be crazy to see Russell and Tim Tebow go into a skills competition for quarterbacks. I would guess that Russell will start out well and take the lead and then start to fall apart. Tim Tebow then will miraculously find a way to make a dramatic win. That is just what Tebow does.

Good thing that Russell was able to put together a good showing for the Bears, but he didn’t get a contract out of it. It might get him another opportunity for a tryout. Maybe the Ravens will take a look at him also.

Hopefully someone give JaMarcus Russell a chance. At least a chance to compete for a roster spot in preseason and training camp.

Just keep the burgers away while JaMarcus sits and waits for his next tryout. The Bears also worked out a few other free agent quarterbacks, but none are as “big” as JaMarcus.
