Guys play hurt sometimes. Sometimes there are rumors or coaches and the media questioning if a guy will be healthy enough to play come game day. Happens all the time.


But I remember him being noticeably hurt and NOT needing to be out there.

And then..

quote:

Russell turned into one of the biggest busts in NFL history, playing only 31 games and throwing for 18 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. What makes him a bigger flop is the ridiculous money -- $39 million collected for three years of doing nothing.

Let's put this in perspective: It took Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers until November of last year to make $39 million. That's six-and-a-half years of decent work for what Russell basically stole.


Two words, and a name that rarely gets brought up in these discussions but I think deserves to be mentioned, Sam Bradford.

Yes he's good when healthy, but he's made 1.42 million per game played.
