Oh, ok. They need like 15 different things to work out perfectly for them to make the playoffs.Denver hasn’t been eliminated.
Those rumors have been going on since Seattle and they were also going on last year. I’m not responding to whatever is being said by teammates right now, I’m responding to teammates bitching that Russ didn’t learn Hackett’s playbook and used Seattle language instead, and that he insisted to have his own office at Bronco stadium, and that you have to reach out to his manager and not him directly, even if you’re on his OL. That is not recent PR spin, it’s a pattern of behavior.I was jumping off from your post, not rebutting it. I'm adding context to those rumors you're hearing, because it sure seems plausible that they're a leg of the pressure campaign on Wilson. I'll take responsibility for that not being clear enough initially.
If Russ weren't better, they wouldn't have to threaten a benching, they'd just do it because he'd have earned it. He's started all 15 games this season, his last few games' TD/INT ratios have been 2/1, 1/0, 2/0... his TDs, INTs, ANY/A, passer rating, have all been much better than last year and most of them comparable to when he was a pro bowler in 2021 (all while massively dialing down his air yards per attempt, this is not luck / YAC driven). Let's not act like he's Mac Jones out there, in your rush to fire him out of a cannon.
Why are you defending Russell Wilson so vehemently? By all accounts, he's a fake ass poser who is hated by everyone near his orbit.It's OK, I'll keep my drivel to myself. Sorry to pollute your thread.
But Russ has 12 bathrooms!!!!!Russ causes conflicting emotions for me as a Seahawks fan. He is the best quarterback in franchise history and helped Seattle be relevant for a long time.
The defensive players definitely hated him, but other than DK I haven't really heard too much about offensive guys hating him.
That said, the Denver ownership made this bed and now they can go fuck themselves in it. Russ was trending downward with Seattle, why would the Broncos trade for him and give him that huge deal anyway?
I don't know. There are no winners here, but I'm definitely team labor especially in a sport like the NFL.
Also, Sean Payton is the one getting a pass here for whatever reason. He's dirty as fuck and by all accounts a gigantic asshole.
You said something factually wrong and were corrected. That isn't being glib. While the absolutism in your posts is tiring, the style in which you address everyone lacks respect and civility.Oh, ok. They need like 15 different things to work out perfectly for them to make the playoffs.
They have been eliminated. The Bears aren't officially eliminated either. And yet, they have no chance to make the playoffs.
Thanks for the glib.
Thank you for your respectful and civil commentary, they are appreciated and I avow to improve and will make you proud.You said something factually wrong and were corrected. That isn't being glib. While the absolutism in your posts is tiring, the style in which you address everyone lacks respect and civility.
Cut the shit.
Is this a drive-by referring to something I said earlier? A joke I made about him buying the most expensive house in Colorado history as he was not even bothering to learn the Broncos playbook? What's the point of your sarcasm? What are you trying to say? I can't speak for @ThePrideofShiner but a five minute search shows:But Russ has 12 bathrooms!!!!!
Not for long. When he gets cut in the offseason, he gets $17 million and that's it. I mean, yes, he's a phony douche, but it says something when Sean Payton is willing to flush the team down the toilet by killing them salary-cap wise to get rid of him a year early. That's just as much on Payton and his ego as it is Russell and his phoniness. It's a shitty situation for both of them. And the rest of the team is going to end up paying the price.His former teammates in Seattle despise him. It seems like Denver despises him, too. Meanwhile, I will point out again that Russ is still getting paid a king's ransom for his marginally decent play.
That’s still better than being a Jets fan. Good luck!i have a 6-mm fragment that needs blasted again
Shit, now we need another topic to discuss at our hand wringing ethicists meet-upDenver won today.
They were also eliminated from playoff contention.
