I had heard that my favorite player did indeed tip the scale at 3 bills last season. But at the offseason camps he was rumored to be back down to 271. The problem was that his body composition was pretty poor so he was too slow and too easy to get to the ground, and pretty injury prone.

He is a big guy by stature and can carry like 265 so long as he's pretty lean.

I think the biggest issue is that his team mates don't see him as a leader and he's not a guy they can get behind. The guys knew he wasn't working very hard last year and as a result they didn't care to work too hard around him. When the Raiders used other QB's last year they would play pretty hard. Even with JaMarcus they usually started out player pretty hard, but if they fell out of a game early JaMarcus would throw in the towell and the rest of the team would follow suit.
