The NFL kind of didn’t help when they subjected us to the Broncos in prime time 4 of the first 6 weeks.

This feels cathartic. Like lots of guys tried really hard (in their own minds at the very least) to make the system work with Russ, and then felt let down when Russ wanted a trade. The implication was that it was the team - not him, and I'm sure more than a few took that as a slight.

[@michag4337]

Russ is interested in being seen as a Rodgers/Brady/Mahomes tier qb. He'd rather lose as a marytr than win and not be the guy. Team 3 said all of that in 2020. He wants be the reason, not a piece. He looks sub par at best this season, and he never looked like a guy in a Seattle. There's a reason he's gotten 1 mvp vote in his career.

So contrived and greasy.

As a Seahawks fan it feels like non-regional media is just finally clueing in to what has been going on here for a while. After the LOB was traded away we have struggled as a team. Russ was incredibly inconsistent. At first he struggled 1st quarter and then played the other three. Then he struggled the first half and would pop up in the second. Then he would waffle around for 3 quarters and then start playing in the 4th. Finally it got to the point where you could just tell it wasn't in him anymore we were gonna lose.

That's because at the end of the game he just starts running and you can't touch him without a penalty. End of 4th quarter he becomes the untouchable running back.

[@Bass_TurdofSyn]

Chancellor retired, Sherman was released and Thomas contract ended. Nobody from the LOB was traded. The rest I agree with. He was missing wide open recievers in Seattle the last 2 years, he is always looking for the "big play" and doesn't follow the proper progression of the plays or taking the open 10 or so yards in front of him.

BS. Frankly, it's kind of like Broncos fans now, who were all "Broncos country -- let's RIDE" nut-riders at the beginning of this season and are now fully in the "Bench Russ NOW" community.

Of course Carroll is shady. He bolted from USC a couple months before the scandal broke, and this is after years of him saying he'd never leave college for the NFL. Carroll let USC bleed to death while he got off scot-free. However, the "get rid of Wilson" thing has merit. The team had to rebuild. There was no conceivable way Wilson would've wanted to stay around for that. Also, as the head coach, he saw or knew something the public didn't, as far as talent evaluation goes. Remember in 2015, Brock Osweiler started a couple games for Denver while Peyton struggled. Everyone assumed this was the first sign that Osweiler was the franchise QB after Manning. Then Denver let Osweiler walk and after watching him struggle in Houston, it became evident why.

Remember when russel was pissed off at the Super Bowl Brady was playing in Russell wanted protection Then they mentioned he scrambled so much offensive linemen couldn’t block for 10 second

[@andrewneedham3281]

Yup. People quote sack stats like they're the sole responsibility of the O-line. Wrong. Look at Wilson's time-to-throw stat. Consistently, it has been one of the worst in the league, year after year. Why? In my opinion, Homie holds the ball too damn long, running around, doing that whole "Let Russ Cook!" BS. That dancing around works okay when you have a decent O-line with good chemistry (both with their QB and each other) that knows how the QB likes to scramble and who can hold a block for longer than 2.5 seconds while improvising position. I think Russ's "cooking" is just getting exposed by a line that doesn't understand he likes to change plays on the fly, run around the pocket for 5 seconds, and generally just hold the ball for way too long.

[@magellanmalala482]

Russell is doing inexplicably bad, and is by no means above criticism. His contract is easily highway robbery and I feel bad for Broncos fans stuck with him. However, easy to come out and bash the man while he’s down. Sherman hasn’t been on team with him for a long time, but decides to wait for the man to be down before he kicks him? Just doesn’t sit right with me.

[@williamcowell1889]

I’m now convinced Russ switched the okay from a run to pass.

[@maphitha1]

When asked about Russell's trip "on the struggle bus," Marshawn said he's gotta "do it for the Mile (High)." No contract can make someone likeable or relatable. That's what I miss about the Superbowl Seahawks who didn't throw the ball.

[@gordonstewart8897]

I find it interesting that only when Wilson is having a bad year do all the haters come out of the woodwork. When he was quarterbacking the Seahawks to two straight Super Bowl appearances (one of which they won), no one seemed to have issues with his 'leadership'. Way to kick a guy when he's down.

[@Dansanity]

Sherm has been talking about Russ for years and we all know that defense took Seattle to the sb he’s a good qb but he’s not a superstar

[@nathanmalki2045]

The whole point is that the haters aren’t coming out, it’s been here for years but Carrol is the goat so that talk couldn’t get far. Russell himself is no goat, he did make the Seahawks good that was Carrol, their run game, and their defense. Now that he left those things his true colors are showing and they are gross haha

[@clipcoug1139]

​@@nathanmalki2045: The Seahawks were 7-9 with Lynch and the LOB before Russell Wilson was drafted to Seattle. Seattle's run started when he joined the team (went 11-5, 1-1 in the playoffs), not when Lynch joined the team 2 seasons before (another 7-9 season), or the LOB the season before Russell joined. Russell Wilson was a big part of that Seahawks run game. His duel threat capability made defenses have to respect his ablity to run, which means they couldn't all key in on Lynch. Lynch's best years were with Russell at QB. Seattle continued to win double digit games nearly every season even after Lynch left and still continued to do so after the LOB broke up and the Seahawks defense went from GOAT status, to average (starting in 2016), to piss-poor (2019). It was Russell carrying the Seahawks more than the running game and defense post LOB era and the Seahawks would probably not sniff .500 in any of those years had they not had Russell. The running game and defense left Russell way before he left them. Pete Carroll is no GOAT. Not even close.

Given some teams that are struggling but these were the same teams that said our starting taking time off ir isn't really participating in pre season games is showing because they can't link up with receivers on some of the simplest plays and that's a problem. Going forward I wouldn't be suprised if next season we don't have anybody doing that unless it's a real injury because there is next level talent and can't buy a completion at times.

I have been saying this for yearrssss! Dude has an insane defense most of his career, a great staff, great running back. Fact is Russell Wilson is a good player, not great. His stories and things he has said have been swept under the rug constantly. He hit a home run off a 125 mph fastball, god spoke to him, his water cures concussions, the weird naked pictures with him and his wife, the non disclosure agreements. Also those things the press never followed up on. Also Steve young slamming the Seahawks after the fail Mary while Wilson was on the panel still wearing his pads was priceless and yet it’s hard to find on KZbin.
