He was 3-of-19 before leading his one good drive of the season, scoring a TD at the end to beat the lowly Chiefs. He's completed 42% of his passes. Big Ben has completed 73%. Most good QBs hover around 60-62%
He has 8 turnovers and 1 TD. Most QB's try for a 2-to-1 ratio of scores to turnovers.
His 5.0 yards per attempt are in the bottom 3 in the NFL.
Now, most black QB's get a break on their stats, because they add some great rushing stats... but oddly enough, JaMarcus has a grand total of 30 yds this season, with 15 of those coming on one run.
Were it not for Derek Anderson having a horrific season, JaMarcus would be, by far, the worst NFL QB.
What to say about JR. Is he that bad, or is he just in a bad situation, which is compounded by being thrown to the wolves in Oakland.
If JR were in another organization, and had a chance to be a backup, would he turn out better? He’s certainly got the physical tools. I don’t know. But certainly playing for the Raiders is no way to mature as a QB (or as a human being for that matter).

A lot of people thought he’d be a bust. I know he played WAY over his head in that bowl game in which he had huge stats, and played himself into a great position for the draft. But that game was an anomaly for him, and I for one would not be shocked if he turns out to be a bust.
