ALAMEDA, Calif. -- It must have been agony for Al Davis, making the ultimate concession, admitting to himself as well as the world that using the first pick in the 2007 NFL Draft on quarterback JaMarcus Russell was a mistake of considerable magnitude.

Al does mea culpas very poorly, if he does them at all. Davis does not like to admit failure, especially when the failure can be attributed to him.

Al has no one to blame but himself (perhaps Russell's agent)Quarterbacks who hold out and miss valuable training during their rookie year usually flop.I'll take a hard working, dedicated player with less physical talent over a specimen with poor work habits. For Russel's sake, I hope he finds a situation that lets him salvage his career. However, with the 39MM he has earned, he is set for life. I know, that many young athletes squander the money or lose it to unscrupulous business managers. Hope Jason Campbell survives the circus which is the Raiders and Al Davis.
