You're wrong. Bad contacts were being handed out to unproven players long before Jamarcus Russell. You should look up Scott Mitchell, or how bout 2002, Daunte Culpepper and Pearles Price contacts. Have you ever heard of Dan Snyder? Go look up his track record.
The contracts got bigger because the game got wealthier. The bad contracts from the 90's were just as outrageous when you consider that NFL teams back then were barely worth half of what they are worth now, if that.
Honestly, you're wrong.
