JaMarcus Russell

[SA_BUTTA]

At this point, quarterback is again a concern, because no one knows if JaMarcus Russell is ready to take over the starting job. There are rumors that he's close to 300 pounds and not exactly prepared for his close-up.

a rumor doesnt mean much of anything. Ready or not, he will be the starting QB in Oakland this comming season.

He is probably on a bulking diet so he gains muscle to be fit for the NFL. He will go on a cut diet before camps and be down to a lean weight by the start of preseason.

Until I see factual evidence that he is, you can't really sure.

I hear the same stuff every year about various rookies going into their sophomore seasons and always when the time comes they are down to a lean muscle weight.

Dude has a history of being called "The Flab" and you think he's on a bulky diet? How much more does he need to weigh? He was already 260 pounds when he came into the league.

He's on the Manny Wright diet IMO.
