This guy was probably pampered from the 1st day he walked on the LSU campus....meaning there was no way he could nothing because he was treated as a superstar. Maybe.....just maybe this will get him "motivated"....

From Rotoworld, was the richest rookie contract in the history of the NFL:
Six-year, $61 million contract. The deal contains $32 million guaranteed, including all six years' base salaries and a $19.9 million option bonus in the second year. Also available is a onetime performance bonus of $2.8 million. Another $7 million is available through incentives. Russell earned a $3 million escalator for 2010 by taking over 45% of the snaps in 2008. 2009: $460,000, 2010: $550,000 (+ $3 million escalator), 2011: $650,000, 2012: $6.69672 million, 2013: Free Agent
So if they brought in someone to legitimately compete with him next season, he could potentially be sitting on the bench making $221k a game.

Man......it sucks to be a Raider fan ....
And the is TO ME is the QB....it starts and ends there. Look at ALL the teams that struggle going into the last few years and suddenly become good or better and it ALL started AND ended with the QB postion...followed by the O-Line.
I mean to the TEAM'S defense, litterally, the entire O-Line has been injured. And then the play calling has be TERRIBLE. And finally, the issue of NOT having a DT worth spit to plug the hole in WELL over 6 or 7 years....does not help.

I mean you have guys coming in that have yet to prove jack-squat against teams like Roberts Wesleyan University and then command these monstrous salary...then you have guys like Drew Brees....who will more than likely NEVER make that kind of money....throw circles around DimMarcus....:rant:

Raiders teammates back Russell
Are the players just lying to themselves now? Maybe who knows but this is what i have been hearing..
Raiders teammates back Russell - Inside Bay Area
JaMarcus Russell's Raiders teammates remain steadfast in their belief that he is just going through a rough stretch and that he remains the best option at quarterback for a team that has lacked a proven one since Rich Gannon retired after the 2004 season.

If they win the rest of their games they'll have a 'winning schedule' like you declared in the OP!

8-8 / 7-9 probably a bit optimistic sitting at 3-7 with 6 to go. Finishing less than 5-11 would be pretty disappointing at this point though, Wasington and Cleveland should fall, and they could upset someone still.
Thet have had ALOT of injuries on the O-line, 2 rookies starting at WR because their best WR was injured with a broken foot. ALL the injured are back and I expect a better performing team.
After watching yesterday's games, I am convinced the Raiders are an 8-8 team...if they were playing the Lions every week!
