Just how awful is JaMarcus Russell? The Oakland Raiders have announced that Charlie Frye will start Sunday against the Denver Broncos. They have also signed former Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Locomotives quarterback J.P. Losman.
Charlie Frye began the 2007 NFL season by starting for the Clevland Browns, only to be benched in the first quarter and then traded the following day to the Seattle Seahawks for a bag of packing peanuts and a 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath, and Beyond. The joke was on the Browns though because the coupon was expired.
Watching JaMarcus Russell fill in for Bruce Gradkowski against the Washington Redskins this past Sunday was a truly painful thing to watch. It looked to me that he had no clue what the plays were supposed to be. He looked like me trying to play Madden football on the Xbox 360 trying to figure out which buttons to mash.
Has there every been a team in professional football that’s had more bad quarterbacks play for them? For every Jim Plunkett or Rich Gannon, they’ve had ten Todd Marinovichs.

As a Bills fan, JP is pretty decent. Just not a good long term option. I wish the Bills had kept him as a backup.
