Comments on: JAMARCUS RUSSELL SAYS HE WEIGHS 269 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/16/jamarcus-russell-says-he-weighs-269/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:49:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: eklypse69 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/16/jamarcus-russell-says-he-weighs-269/#comment-32627 eklypse69 Tue, 20 May 2008 18:47:06 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/16/jamarcus-russell-says-he-weighs-269/#comment-32627 What I find absolutely fricken hilarious is that everyone seems to be so preoccupied with his weight, as if that's going to have an adverse effect on his passing game. I mean, it's not like his arm gained that entire extra 25 lbs, right? A boy that big isn't gonna have to worry about getting taken out of a game every other week to a linebacker blitz (ala Steve Young) or piss himself everytime he sees the pocket collapsing (like Kerry Collins did). So he may not possess the Cordell Stewartness to run in more touchdowns than he can throw, but who cares?! If he's got the cannon he's shown us all thru college and beyond, I think the only weight anyone needs to worry about is the big, shiny, heavy super bowl statue going to the silver & black attack again. JUST WIN BABY! What I find absolutely fricken hilarious is that everyone seems to be so preoccupied with his weight, as if that’s going to have an adverse effect on his passing game.

He's a marginal NFL starter for 10 years like most that come into the league. I don't know where all the hype came from.

That's 4 pounds more than his playing weight. So what? Most NFL players are like that when the trainig camp starts, thats the reason for having a training camp. I am OK with him being at 265, that's his natural weight. Cutler is 240, and he is only 6'3'' Garrard is 245, and he is 6'1'' Both are similar to Russell, 6'6'' 265 They drafted him at 265 and he is 269 in training #1 of the year.

Cutler is 240, and he is only 6′3”
Garrard is 245, and he is 6′1”

Both are similar to Russell, 6′6” 265

I'm not worried about his weight. Did anyone ask Duante Culpepper how much he weighed back in 2003 or 2004 when he was an MVP caliber QB? NO !!! Has anyone even seen Jamarcus this year? How about we wait until he plays a preseason game, then judge his weight. He needs to have some padding to protect himself from incoming defenders while Gallery figures out how to actually block (not hold) NFL d-linemen this year.

I just lost nearly 10 lbs in 2 days due to a stomach bug. if Russell knew he was weighing in, he probably dehydrated himself for a day or 2 as well as cut down on the amount of garbage he usually eats. I still contend that Russell will have eaten himself out of the league in 5 seasons.
