I'll join you in minority here.
1-The guy has unbelievable talent. Imagine what Payton could do with him
2-As mentioned by someone above, he has made a ton of money, so if he wants a job (on the SB champs), he'll be cheap, as $$$ won't be the factor
3-his rap is lazy and unmotivated. Playing back home might help, and no way our locker room puts up with that. Wearing the black and silver will de-motivate anyone
4-His coaches have been awful. awful.

I am not saying he is going to come in and compete for Drew's job, but he would be worth the gamble. Bigger jack@sses than him have turned their careers around

Brunell or Russell? Who wants to start the thread? LOL

He doesn't have the right kind of talent for a Payton offense. He's just huge and has a big arm, which are not requirements for Payton's offense. Ability to read defenses, accuracy, timing, ability to survey the field, those are the right types of talent.

And imagine this guy going from Oakland, when he was the owner's protege and did whatever he wanted, even got a head coach fired, to NO and start training under Payton and next to Drew Brees. This would be a shock like going from being a hairdresser to joining the Marine Corps. It'll be too much for him.

If he still wants to play, he'd be better served going to a team with a simple offense as a 3rd QB and get a work ethic first, which at this stage, may be the hardest thing to do.

Jamarcus, and Aaron Brooks. Ok Jadummy you flip da burgers dis way no no don't eat them. This kids a joke.

I mean sure its a gamble and why not. Let see if Bree's can get in his head and mentor him when he has a league minimum contract. Although 3 million the Raiders had to hand him on the way out the door.

No thanks.

Choupique · 05-08-2010, 05:43 AM

Fairly sure the only place Jamarcus will end up is on the couch at his casa.

Don't care as long its not the Saints or on me

I'd take my chances with Russell over Brunell. Brunell is old and needs to hang it up. Just look at the Carolina game at the end of last season
