Captain James Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 It seems that no matter where I turn, I hear or read something negative towards the Skins. Even if it has nothing to do with the NFL. As an avid LSU fan, I came across this thread tonight: http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/messagetopic.asp?p=15989461 It is a discussion about who is more of a bust: Jason Campbell or Jamarcus Russell. Both were stars in the SEC. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam21 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 russell has looked worse. campbell has had much more time. I vote campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan1523 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 This is hard, but I'll have to go Russell since he was a #1 pick, sat all that time for that fat contract, and does nothing but make excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Russell is a bigger bust, but they both are disappointments. I say that because of the #1 overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I've never heard of DeMarcus Russell so I guess he sucks more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky72 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 JaMarcus is much, much, much worse than JC. He also sat out most of his first year "learning". He seems to not give a crap at all about his play or the Raiders in general. JC is not the answer for our team but I'd never put him into JaMarcus Russell territory.

Ghost of Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If you want an elite QB, please do not pick SEC unless they are descended from Archie Manning. Go Big 10, Pac 10, ACC, MAC before you go to SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Anonymous Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Russell would be because he was higher pick, but when you factor in our trading up, I would say Jason is more of a bust. At the very least it is too close to call. Wow, I could be a talking head, I picked nothing and said everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExoDus84 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 JaMarcus is a bigger bust. Campbell has been a bust for what we had to give up for him, but at least he tries. He practices, and studies, and at least tries, even if he doesn't have enough natural ability to be a full-time NFL starter. Russel, on the other hand, was a #1 overall pick, and has played absolutely wretched for almost his entire career. He doesn't practice, isn't in shape, and doesn't seem to give a damn. He's a true bum, and is happy just sitting on his fat paycheck. No competition. Russel is one of the biggest busts in NFL history. Campbell is just not a good QB, and will be a journeyman backup during his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Russell he's just plain awful, at least Campbell is a good back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain James Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Russel is the biggest bust of the decade. how is this even a comparison? Not as much a comparison as it is a random discussion taking place on the message board of a college team. I was just pointing out yet another embarrassing fact.

laurent Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Silly question, Russel was the first overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitStickTaylor21 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Has to be Russell, he was the #1 overall pick. At least Campbell will make it several years starting in the league, Russell might not make it past this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmester Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Russell was the #1 overall pick and is still 10 times worse then Campbell. This isn't even debatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously can not stand Russell cause of those antics he pulled with his contract, acting like he deserved that money when he hasn't done anything. And now all he does is make excuses, he is a lazy slob. He is the only player in the NFL i can't stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINSFAN87 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I would say Jemarcus due to being the #1 pick, but I wouldn't mind seeing him on the skins roster. I think that he has alot of upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Without a doubt Russell. He's just God awful. And Campbell at least tries. He may not be good, but he puts in hard work. Russell just gets fat in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were stars in the SEC. Your thoughts? IMO, Russell. Russell was so hyped coming out of college. The only people that hyped Campbell pre-draft were the Redskins. He was coming out of college in running dominated offense. I am not saying that Campbell wasn't considered any good, but before the draft everyone was saying that the Raiders had to take him. He had a great arm and all he had to was work on his footwork. Well, clearly Russell has had to work alot more on than just footwork. He doesn't have the record that Campbell does in W-L and that is the bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street_lyte Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Agreed that it's not even a debate. Anyone who watches the NFL knows that Russel is horrendous, and routinely mails it in. He has even struggled just to keep his weight under control; for a pro athlete that is unforgivable in any context. Campbell is terrible, but Russel is easily in the top 3, if not #1 BUST in the last decade of NFL drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that he has alot of upside. Upside? All he has is a strong arm. He has zero work ethic and he's full of excuses.Campbell could at least be a backup QB in the NFL somewhere. Russell won't even be in the league at all within a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
