While Oakland is dysfunctional, Jamarcus was their biggest problem. He will never succeed anywhere.

Leaf only lasted 3 years and Jamarcus just finished his third year.

Money should not be a factor. Can't cross compare salaries over something like 10 years

Leaf is the bigger bust. At the end of the day, we are relying on a lot of hearsay about Russells attitude...where as Leaf showed the world what an a*****e he was.

Screwing over his team, Russell. Making too much money to suck so bad, Russell.

Attitude for leaf hmm naww i mean he's a head case and can't control his temper, but russell's lazy fall's asleep in meetings doesn't give 100 hell not even 50 % kid has amazing talent he's also a big load to bring down a amazingly impressive arm. but no work ethic at all and just flat out seems like he doesn't want to do what it takes to be great!

Still Leaf, yet Russell is very close.
In favor of Russell beeing teh bigger bust

1. taken first overall
2. holding out
3. having no work habbits at all
4. Throwing his whole team under the bus.

his stats are better than those of Ryan Leaf yet he is the first one who has gotten the "honor" of beeing mentioned in the same sentence with Leaf.

It seems that his whole collegiate career was just designed to become the first pick overall and to get a fat contract everything after that is not important to Russell.
