I'd like to get him into shape and see if he can play TE. He'd need to speed train as well. Does he have the intelligence to play in the NFL.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

I don't think he has the intelligence to play checkers.

As to his "comeback" claim. You can only do so if someone wants you.

I can't just decide to make my comeback in the NFL (or debut as it would be) simply because I proclaimed I was going to.

I can't imagine anyone would want him. He's about 1 trip to the buffet away from a heart attack.

Any team that takes him should have a gastric bypass written into his contract.

Just tape a picture of a glazed ham off in the distance onto his visor so he's always chasing after it. I bet he'd break land speed records.

He's an athlete. I don't think most will trust his drive to succeed in the NFL. Not sure about his intelligence football wise either. If he could be down to 245-265 then perhaps he could play TE. If he got in shape and lost the weight that would show some his will to succeed. I wouldn't place any bets.

Most people who get away with the heist he pulled would go into hiding.

That being said, it's hard to hide when you're the size of Wyoming.

He probably blew his $39 mil guaranteed on breast implants and KFC.

Oh, those are real.

He's got the calorie count to back that up.

JaMarcus Russell supplanted previous players as the biggest "bust" of all time. He held out for an outrageous amount of money and showed no work ethic in his efforts to be an NFL QB. If he has somehow turned it around, it would have to be absolutely spectacular. His issues with substance abuse and his past performance wouldn't be enough to encourage me. Has he played anywhere else (CFL, Arena League) that might provide some idea of progress?

308 lbs? At 6'5 he'd make a great RT. Surprised Jerry hasn't brought him in already tbh.

A Co-worker (who absolutely HATES Romo) was talking about this. He's hoping the cowboys bring him in.

How can a guy that hates Romo want anywhere NEAR this piece of garbage I have no idea.


My Co-worker doesn't have the greatest football mind obviously, but he sure thinks he does.

I heard on the radio today that the Jets have had exploratory talks with Russell about being their back-up QB next year. Poor Tebow.
