jemarcus russell plays for a horrible team where the o-line has just as many holes as the its defense. no established skill players around him either. plus he has only started 2 seasons while campbell is on 3-4 seasons now
jason campbell has moss, randle-el, portis, cooley, betts and a pro bowl o-line and def on paper. he also has an owner that competes with jerry jones in the spending game when it comes to talent and still no ROI on anything.
Put JaMarcus Russell on Washington, and he would be infinitely worse than Jason campbell.
Bottom line is the kid can't play Quarterback. His throws are horrible, he's woefully inaccurate, can't make reads or adjustments, and his footwork is laughable.
And this is his third season in the league now, jason Campbell is in his fourth.
Case in point.
Russell played Denver twice last year, a Denver team where it can be argued that despite its 3-0 start, is a worse team than last year. His numbers against them last year were far superior to this last game that he played against them. The numbers are staggering. He completed nearly 80% of his passes against Denver last year, and now he has the benefit of not only having a healthy Michael Bush, but a healthy Darren Mcfadden as well.
He is regressing.
Oh, and the reason why Russell has only started two season is because the idiot decided to hold out the entire training camp in his rookie season.
Yet another cautionary tale why rookies shouldn't hold out like that
