I think he's way overrated and should've stayed in college. Nobody at all considered him the top QB in the draft until they beat Notre Dame.

And? He proved he is better than the man who was thought to be the first QB taken in the draft. Your point?
On ESPNEWS, it said he could throw it 85 yards in the air. If so.. good god. I want to play with him in Madden 08!
If his combine goes well, I think the Browns might be pressured to take him at 3 or the Lions could be pressured to take him at 2, assuming Quinn goes #1 to Oakland.But no way he drops out of the top 10.

They're a team that loves a Gunslinging QB like JaMarcus Russell, have a huge need at QB, and Al Davis likes to hang it on his cap that he's done the most for African-American Athletes in the NFL. If theres any QB that breaks their 15 year streak of not selecting a QB in the first round, It's Russell and not Quinn.

He beat Leinart in the Rose Bowl for the National Champ game and he was picked 3rd overall. Leinart fell to 10th, so where does is it that his stock didn't rise? Leinart won 2 National Titles, was a Heisman winner. VY won a single National Champ game, but somehow is worth more than Leinart?

If he has a good combine or good workouts then I can believe some of the hype.
One good game? LMAO no one cares for LSU do they... His one game that he performs well was his 9th highest QB rating THIS YEAR ALONE! There is no way anyone knows the real Jamarcus Russell because everyone thinks that this was his only good game... Please people, research these people that are overrated.
