Insane that you guys hate Russ so much when there isn't a shred of dirt on the man and just lives a military lifestyle like his parents taught him. You guys love fellas like Marshawn Lynch though that drive so drunk, all of the tires are missing off of his vehicle

I think I can confidently say that no one is going around sayin "Marshawn was such a good dude for drunk driving", might have more to do with the stuff he did prior to that...

The fact that a whole lot of his former teammates can't stand him says something.

The on the field criticism is legit, most of the off the field criticism seems silly and seems centered around the fact that he doesn't go out drinking with the boys or things like that.

There is this.

I think that Seattle should cheer him on for everything that he’s done — help bring a Super Bowl to this community, all that different type of stuff. He’s an amazing guy.”

 

D. K. Metcalf

Quote

After the Seattle game, Wilson exchanged jerseys with his old receiver D.K. Metcalf. On the Seahawks jersey he gifted Wilson, Metcalf wrote that Wilson was the “greatest player I ever played with,” according to NFL.com.

There were stories of some pretty big locker room divisions during his time there. They've been largely validated since.

Hell, even Pete Carroll took some subtle shots at him.

I have seen some of them.  Validation is in the eye of the beholder for the most part.  Most of the criticism is that he received special treatment from the coach.  That is more on Carrol than on Wilson.

That was the start of a lot of it, but not the sum of it.

Funny that the same people here pooing on Wilson would’ve loved to have him on our side when his Hawks basically owned us… 

Nope. I wanted to beat them and him. He was a large piece of the wanting to curb stomp them that we finally saw in the 2015 playoffs.

I just don’t like him cause he was always hard to beat when he was with Seattle. Strictly football related.
 

can’t deny he’s a cringy guy but that doesn’t cause a dislike for him on my pet.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
