Of the two, which QB would you draft?

I would go for Russell, big and quick with an big arm to match.

 

Plus, if he doesnt work out at QB, you could always move him to LB.

Yeah he did.. did he run the 40? I can't remember.

No he didn't, he just went threw the drills.

 

Look it up. Jamarcus Russell didn't participate in any physical drills at the NFL Combine. He was also noticeably overweight.

 

I would take Brady Quinn for one reason. He's more ready to go in 2007 than Jamarcus Russell is. Russell is leaps and bounds a bigger and stronger man than Brady Quinn, and has more upside. In about 3 years or so, Russell will be a Pro Bowler. The thing is, the Oakland Raiders need a quarterback n-o-w. Quinn gives them that, Russell does not. If the Raiders had a serviceable starter in place, I'd say go get Russell and don't look back. They don't, so go get Brady Quinn and thank me later.

it makes me think about some guys named peyton manning and ryan leaf

 

Leaf: a big downfield passer

Manning: a proven quarterback who couldn't win the big game.

 

the colts take manning with the first pick.

 

Manning: Super Bowl Champion

Leaf: a Golf coach in West Texas

As you probably know, Leaf and Manning are good friends and have been for a long time.

 

Leaf's exit from the NFL, while obvioulsy tied to his performance, was also attributed, at least in part to his inability to control his fiery temper.

 

Saw a piece on him on Real Sports (HBO). He has the anger thing in control now, and says he really enjoys his job as assistant coach at West Texas A&M.

I would not draft a QB in this draft.

 

I wouldn't either, this was a lackluster year for college QB's, even with Troy Smith in the mix. I wouldn't draft a quarterback, at least until the 2nd round.

you also have to remember...moss, most likely, will not be with the raiders this upcoming season...although russell had good recievers...they weren't near as good as what quinn had...id take russell. however, i dont think either one of them will turn out to be studs. i could see them being real eli manning like (without the manning name of course)...real good but real inconsistant.
