About the best thing you can say about Baylor's Seth Russell is he is a product of a system.
It's also the worst you can say.
That's the dichotomy ahead as Baylor faces its future without its starting quarterback. We now know Russell will miss the remainder of the season following neck surgery. The typical recovery period for such an injury is six months, according to Baylor.
The only things at stake are the Big 12 title, a playoff push and possibly an invitation to New York.
Best case scenario: Freshman Jarrett Stidham is the latest plug-and-play quarterback to lead the Bears.
