What smart player (non lineman) packs on 30 pounds before his rookie season.
What smart player holds out so long his rookie season is pretty much a bust.
What idiot wears a ugly multi colored goat hair rag of a jacket
Russell never packed on 30 pounds.
The holdout was unfortunate - both sides caused it. But I like to look on the bright side: He came into the draft as a junior. By missing last season, it is like he is having his rookie season now - with a full off-season of training.
The jacket is actually very expensive (around $400). So they must be fairly popular for them to be able to sell at such a high price. Everyone has their own choice in style. You've never worn anything you are now embarrassed about?
Oh, and he scored a 24 on his wonderlic test. Not nearly as high as Brady Quinn, but higher than Brett Favre. Favre's career proves that you don't need thirty-something on that test to make it in the NFL.
The difference is that the Browns were making preparations for the post-season right up until the end of December. The Raiders were already planning their offseason by the time October ended.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

So the Browns and their fans were extremely disappointed when their best attempts failed?
Boo hoo I feel sad for you...
So the Raiders got a head start on their off-season. In my opinion, they had a very expensive, but good one.

They resigned and overpaid some players, signed an aging head case of a WR, and probably got the best player in the draft.
I'd call that an average offseason for an average team.
Really? I could have sworn he had a 10-5 record last year....
I thought that was the Browns record... you give him all the credit that the team deserves?
Anderson also had a seat on his couch during the playoffs... the same as Russell.
It's funny too look back at all your posts and see how much time you spend each day on this board.
The Browns record was not 10-5 by the way. It was 10-6. You see, there are 16 game seasons in the NFL nowadays...
Much of that does fall on him. If you kept Charlie Frye in instead of Anderson, and the season would have been abysmal. Apparently the Raiders did not feel the same way about replacing Josh McCown or Daunte Culpepper with JaMarcus Russell
By the way, JaMarcus Russell was STILL on the couch watching the Pro Bowl...Anderson was not.

I don't spend a lot of time on this site in particular - just on the computer in general. My high school requires us to have laptops - thus giving me computer access throughout the school day. Then, I must complete homework on it. Al in all, I am on my computer a lot during the week.
Of course 10-6 was their record, I'm not stupid. Frye started the first game and that is what the original poster was referring to. I didn't feel the need to point out the brown's record on a browns message board. I merely meant that was the Browns record while he was a starter.
Why would the Raiders replace McCown/Culpepper with a rookie who was signed after the season began? He was not ready. That is why he only started one game. He would have started over them if he had gotten to camp sooner (his fault, I know).
On nfl.com it says Anderson was an "injury replacement" for the pro bowl. I bet he was proud of that title.
hey snacks post your personal information again like last season... i just like seeing how you look with glasses and buck teeth...you definetly get all the girls

Just because you have glasses and buck teeth doesn't mean everyone does.
I also find it kind of odd that you remember me posting my information (which didn't really tell much). You want me to post more personal information? Well, now you sound like a stalker of some sort. Do stalkers get all the girls? Or do they just follow them places?
Quote: Hey, the burden of proof is on you, man. You were the one who stated that Russell has everything Anderson has.
So far, you have not done that.
The point remains. Anderson played in the pro bowl. Russell was on the couch.
By the way, I was the original poster
Of course you Browns fans got the wrong impression from what I said. I have tried to avoid correcting you, but you seem to keep bringing up this "probowl" and "couch" thing.
I meant that Anderson doesn't have anything Russell doesn't in the "physical" sense - you know, "skills". Russell is a very talented QB and has all the tools to be a great one. Of course, that depends on how well he develops.
But if you want to tell me that Anderson is more physically gifted than Russell - be my guest. I will enjoy laughing at your response.

Even if it wasn't for the fact Russell is slightly overweight right now, Anderson would still be more physically gifted than him.
Russell isn't slightly overweight - he is at his playing weight. If you've seen him - he doesn't have a stomach that bulges or hangs out, it is flat. He is just a big guy.
What proof do you have that Anderson is more physically gifted than Russell. I can show you some things Russell can do that Anderson can't.
You obviously can't tell right now, but I am laughing at you.
How about coming back on the Ravens? Throwing 29 Td's 10-5 record while a starter?
Well, Russell hasn't had the opportunity to play the Ravens. But because the Ravens are in the Brown's division, they have 2 opportunities a year to come back on the Ravens.
But I wasn't talking about records or game stats - can't compare when Russell only has one game under his belt.
Thanks for the reply though, browniepunts. This thread I started is sure getting a lot of attention.
Quote: Cause 'tards like you compare rookie Qb's against Pro Bowl Qb's. Yea.....
The name you called me may be hurtful or offensive in some people's eyes. I think a warning should be sent your way. If I had used a word such as that, I am sure that I would have been reprimanded. I think the same should happen with browniepunts.
And I don't compare stats because the "pro bowl" QB who has played in the NFL for a couple years obviously has better stats than a Rookie. That is why I opted to compare other traits.
So you're saying you have nothing concrete...only "upside". Enjoy your inept organization being the joke of the NFL from the front office on down until who knows when. We as Browns fans have been there, I know, but the difference is the people on this board aren't the type to go around running our mouths like jackasses all over the internet.

You obviously have a lot of trust in your fellow board members. However, I know someone from this board (who I will not name) who has posted on raiderfans.net. I'm sure there are more than just one. Just as I am sure there are more Raider fans out here that do this. However, the majority of Raider fans are respectable and do not venture to other boards just to stir up controversy.
So, I see no difference between the Browns and Raiders fans.
Also, you swore in your post. I got temporarily banned for less. The same should be done for you. Otherwise, there would be favoritism to browns fans... and I don't consider that something respectable people would do.

You basically admitted your argument is worthless.

It's a PG-13 board, we can say ass. See? Ass, Ass, Ass. Otherwise, it'd be censored.

Not at all. Can't you post a video of Anderson to prove me wrong? JaMarcus Can do amazing things as a QB. I am arguing that Russell is a more physically gifted quarterback. By not responding with an example, you are proving your side of the argument to be worthless.

What I got banned for wasn't censored either. I also didn't say we should never be able to swear. I was merely stating that I got banned for less and I believe all members should be treated equally.
