rookie seasons dont offer a glimpse of the future.
elway, both mannings, aikman, the list goes on. russell needs some blocking and recievers. i'm not comparing him to these qb's, i'm using the rookie season as an example,but all threw 20+ picks their rookie year. russell doesnt look good out there, and if he called it quits now, he would be a bust. 2-3 years down the road, this would be a legitimate conversation.
