I blame the Raiders more for this bust, than him. How many head coaches, offensive cordinators, and assistant coaches have changed since he was drafted by them?
No quarterback can succeed with that kind of dysfunction.

I bet Dallas would be interested, Kitna is up there in years.

True,, They went thru lots of ‘stuff’ there when he arrived and before and after.

Supposedly Russell’s lack of work effort and commitment was well known at LSU. Once again Al Davis fell in love with his physical skills and did not give a damn about his heart or head.

As someone else noted, JM did not work hard. He was lazy and refused to put in any extra time or effort to become an NFL QB. Jeff Garcia who had a cup of coffee with Oakland while JM was there noted JM's horrible work ethic. He wanted to help JM, but JM didn't even want that. JM already has what he wanted - Al Davis's $$$.

Al Davis and the Raiders are an absolute pathetic joke. They are the Clippers of the NFL. Davis will never give up control of the team, so the Raiders are doomed to remain stuck on stupid until Al Davis dies or is put in an insane asylum

Even moreso than that, he was a one-trick pony. He was truly a JAG until he had a phenomenal bowl game against a very weak ND team, and it jacked up his salary. That game he played was so far above his head it was foolish to not see that he wasnt as good as he looked that one day.

Ironically, this is the same situation that Russell's replacement Campbell faced in Washington.

Not as many coaching and coordinator changes and Jason Campbell has had. JaMarcus is lazy and sleeps during team meetings. He refused to stay in shape, he did not watch films or learn the defenses he was facing. He lost the locker room with his laziness and it showed when the Raiders beat the Steelers and the Bengals with Bruce Gradkowski at the helm.

JaMarcus is to blame, not the coaching changes.
