Imagine them having Russ when people think he’s limited or washed but he really isn’t either one.😒😏 People have been making wild claims about Russ’s pocket play. For most of his Seahawks years, his passer rating from inside the pocket was higher than his passer rating from outside the pocket. The problem was Russ rarely having a pocket to throw from. I’ll also push back on the commonly discussed mobility issue. Russ is still ostensibly a top-5 rushing QB, and I’ll tell you why: he ranked 8th last season overall behind QBs who played a full schedule, two of whom were backups and aren’t likely to appear in the top-10 again this year. Russ rushed for 341 yards, good for 8th, right behind Patrick Mahomes, and the equivalent of 386 yards. This is significant because he did it on mostly non-designed runs. He also threw for the equivalent of nearly 3,500 yards and 30 TDs last year with his own coach purposely depressing his stats. Any objective person watching the Broncos could see that Sean Payton was not trying to win games. He threw 5 of the first 6 games, all lost by a few points and all winnable. That stopped when Russ alerted the NFLPA to the Broncos’ attempt to coerce him into deferring his injury guarantee. And what do you know? Payton took his thumb off the scale - I believe the was tanking for a QBOTF - and the Broncos started winning. Then, he threw Gabe’s against the Lions and Patriots. Russ had already sniffed out what Payton was doing, which is why he called out Payton at the end of that TD drive and Payton yelled at him on the sideline. Russ knew the fix was in. So, Russ had one incompetent coach, a lot of injuries and lazy players who couldn’t hold onto the ball or run proper routes (Melvin Gordon, Jerry Jeudy, and KJ Hamler), and a crooked coach who tried to tank the entire season to get Caleb Williams or Drake Maye. And despite Russ’s performance through the toughest part of the Broncos’ schedule, Payton benched him for no justifiable reason to lose and inch up the draft board.

Sean Payton didn't want Wilson.
@@johnadams5489 : Agreed, but if that was the case, why not let him exit the summer before the 2023 season?
Bro what is happening in the corner?
Imagine the Steeler's needing a QB ever since Ben retired. That.
Imagine them having Russ when people think he’s limited or washed but he really isn’t either one.😒😏
