What does it mean when people say that Jamarcus Russell is the greatest NFL football player of all time?

Jamarcus Russell is an NFL quarterback and possibly, future Hall-of-Famer. He nearly ended his career by shattering a knee in the off-season. He was released from the Oakland Raiders due to a locker room controversy. He is the only quarterback in NFL history (yet) to be able to throw a football for 80 yards in the air. He can also throw a football 60 yards in the air on one knee, but not the shattered one. In 2009, he led the Oakland Raiders to one victory over the defending Superbowl Champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers. If Jamarcus Russell had not shattered his knee in the off-season and got released by the Raiders, he might very well have led the Raiders to at least one Superbowl victory. In the 2009 season, the Raiders had a real good chance to make the playoffs. However, Jamarcus Russell had a back injury.

He is currently trying out for the Washington Redskins.

The people that say that may be "fans" which is short for "fanatics", or the records may prove that statement to be true. It is difficult, however, to compare players' greatness when there are 22 different positions. I don't as yet see his image replacing the Heisman Trophy, for example.
