I dislike when people pile on because everyone else is doing it. It’s a terrible look for Kyle Brandt, lost respect. He only told the story because everyone was talking bad about Wilson. 
 

I have heard stories that Wilson is fake in the public, who cares. 

 

It is news when Kyle Brandt doesn't look terrible. Bloke is an ass.

Felt like weird time to suddenly be aggressive when he was perfectly willing to kick FGs in the redzone all game before.

 

He remembered the last time he was in that position and got lit up for taking it out of Russ's hands. This time he said "ok, world, lets see what our Franchise QB has". Turns out he's got nothin.

Russ is a weird dude and he isn’t playing well and on top of that he is very highly paid. That might start to wear thin on his teammates and fans. I’ve never been a big fan of him personally, and I don’t care that he’s a weird dude, but I do think his personality is going to become an issue when he also isn’t playing well

 

 

He trusted his highly paid franchise QB to win the game. If I was Hackett I would have made the same call honestly 

What I’m trying to say is no one cares that he’s fake off the field. If he can’t play he’ll be criticized for it. 
 

Russell Wilson could be the greatest guy in the history of guys but if he can’t play he’ll get booed.

 

It’s that simple. I don’t need to hear stories about how vain he is.

Anyone who says Wilson’s personality isn’t an issue is delusional.  He’s supposed to be the team leader and the face of the franchise.  It matters a lot.  It’s the same reason the Browns are gonna be in trouble with Watson…And it’s why Josh Allen is so perfect for Buffalo.

It’s why baker is tough to get along with too. Leadership isn’t just about talent.

But the scenarios are totally different. He should have kicked last night. No doubt.

Yep, they are stuck with Wilson.  What a disaster.  It's now been almost two whole seasons since he played well.  I think it's pretty safe to say the Broncos mortgaged their future for a bum.  They just can't get QB right...doesn't matter how many good players they draft.

 

Yep. They will fire Hackett (and rightly so) but unless Russ plays better it won't matter. I suspect Hackett fired after this season. Russ cut after two more.

You know that. I know that. The world may know that. But Hackett doesnt have the ability to make those decisions in real time.

Agree to disagree then. I think it matters if people don’t respect him or thinks he’s weird. Leadership is a complicated thing

He’s getting praised for telling a story about how Russell Wilson and Ciara had sunglasses on and didn’t come say hi to him on the red carpet. 
 

Come on man.

They ignore the purile man child? I'd give Russ and his wife props for that.

But that’s what he has his coach’s coach for! 😂

Haha, for real. It was over week 2 when they had to bring in an additional coach to help him with in-game decisions. Like, WHAT?!?

I don’t believe Wilson became this inept this quickly, I think Hackett has basically ruined him overnight.

Among quarterbacks who started at least 10 games in 2021, Wilson ranked fifth in the league in passer rating. Outside of a slump and injury he started & ended 21 strong. NFL.com rankings had him at 11 overall.

Absolutely, Brady is hailed as the GOAT, and thought of as a teammate who elevates everyone. He probably has nothing in common with most of his teammates. Wilson might be “weird”, but his on field play is the real issue.

Everyone fighting lol. RG3 I was with you but now you on your own.

He got his money and checked out.  Hackett is bad, but he isn't responsible for missing wide open receivers when the game is on the line.  Wilson looks terrible. He has his ring. He has his money.  He looks like a guy that wants out of the NFL.  I think the Seahawks knew this.
