Criticizing the quarterback for poor play on the field is fine. Poking fun at him for being corny, is fine, but why does it seem like everyone is now taking shots at his character? From his time in Seattle with Richard Sherman to his struggles as a Bronco and national media personalities like Kyle Brandt it seems like the narrative around Russ is changing, and people are taking shots.

Or maybe you are paying for your biased attacks on Watson 😂😂
@@jeromegarcia5396 oh the Watson hate when he fails will be 10 times worse.
@@middleagedgamers7750 hey now, watson may have assaulted one or two women, but at least he didnt make a cringey subway commercial.
@@jeremyphillips3087 lol.
@@middleagedgamers7750 oh I'm not defending him..
I'm just saying nobody is perfect
I saw Russell Wilson one time in a hospital, visiting with parents of a critically injured infant. He did this weekly in Seattle. He has my respect if he never throws another touchdown.
Mad respect. 👍
Just like his weekly podcast "he did for free" just to talk to fans, I used to talk to him all the time..... We all did, the man acknowledged everyone. He has a good heart💚
Some great takes on this situation. I always felt like Russ was just kind of corny but a really good dude. I thought it was terrible that fans booed him at the Broncos-Seahawks game. Dude won more games in his first 9 or so seasons than any other QB in history and for our team. How easy people forget stuff like that.
Like you said, he hasn't broke character yet. You don't fake going to a Children's Hospital every week for like 6 years lol
What's up act man??! Can't wait for that red dead redemption review
DUDE YOU ARE MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME UA-camR!!!
Hi Act Man!
Nah bruh, he's privately a jerk, and I have stories and people to back that up.
Professional sports is all about recency bias and a "what have you done for me lately" mentality. So yeah, Russ is feeling it. He has been terrible.
I worked with Russell for 3 years and he is the same dude on and off the field. Goof ball for sure. But always a great person. A lot of the animosity former players have towards Russ is because of how Pete held others to a different level of accountability then he did Russell.
Well then there gripe should be with Carrol, not Russell. It sounds like some personal incidents occurred between Russ and a few teammates we may not know about….I’m callin 🧢 on you working with “Russ”….😂😂🙄👎🏾
Where at? Just interested lol
Where at bro that’s cool as shit
If you wanted to speak with Russ did you have to call his manager like his teammates have to?
@@SpiritMover314 all good lol. No convincing needed on my end
I think Russ has some ego about him that puts people off, but he doesn’t pass blame, and he’s an actual good person off the field. He’s a good father and family man, he’s altruistic and he genuinely cares about his friends. He’s not the quarterback he thought he was-at least not this year. His only crime is trying to be his best and lacking personality.
He's fake, man. So fake. And he throws his team mates under the bus "I was working out whilst they sleep", it's just more subtle
He's such a good man his teammates need to contact his agent to talk to him.
@@Daniboi971 i don’t like Russ for being fake either but I can’t co-sign the throwing teammates under bus. I think he was just trying to prepare off an injury not trying to say they were sleeping and I’m working, they weren’t hurt the week before
Lol dude. He's a fake guy.
He basically blamed his offensive lineman in a national tv interview a couple years ago lmfao
And he NEVER takes the blame like a REAL leader should do all the time
People hate Russell Wilson more than Deshaun Watson and that’s depressing
This should have ALL the likes. Sad world we live in.
Don't worry. This story will have a happy ending.
Deshaun is in the dark right now. Once he’s in the light again in week 11 he will be public enemy number 1. Rightfully so
Extremely depressing! Smh
@@unforgivable6164 Another victim came out so no he won't play week 11.
A little perspective on one thing from a Hawks fan:
You (like most people) saw him rush back from injury to not quit on his team.
I saw him insist that he was healthy when he wasn't, come back just as Geno was hitting his stride, play like crap for three games, and then FINALLY admit that he came back before he was healthy.
We went from Geno putting up 31 pts (against the Jags, but still) to being shut out for the first time in a decade, with Wilson insisting all the while that he was healthy, which nobody believed for a second.
Here's the thing about Wilson- I'm sure he really believed that the team was better off with him playing injured than with Geno. Endless positivity is Wilson's brand and it has worked for him, but it's gotta come with some Ws or it just comes off as ego and wishful thinking to the fans.
I get you. When does endless positivity become delusion, and counter-productive.
You not wrong, except for Geno. Geno has never hit a stride in his life...
@@qdesigner10 you base geno smith talent off a couple games. Bruh. Geno trash. Clearly you haven’t been watching football long enough or look at his career statistics. Trash.
Facts bro. This dude has a horse washed perspective. I was yelling at my screen responses to his one dude points. He left out the fact the current team members told the media tsar he was checked out mentally all last year. If my memory serves me correct, Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin weren't on that team.
@K-2 lol going into week 6, the season most certainly did not just start. Terrible take.
I am from Seattle and all I am saying is I have a good friend who was a patient at the Children's Hospital for many years during the Seahwaks era. He has at least three pictures of him with Russel Wilson while he was in the hospital. Russ didn't do these good causes for the media but because he is a good guy.
I’m a hawks fan since birth. I feel for Russ. Loved him in Seattle and will forever be grateful for his time. I’m rooting for him still and feel like he’s getting shafted for trying to look out for him and his family.
I feel like people are just hating on Russell Wilson because it’s trendy right now. People just want to be trendy, it’s crazy that they would crucify somebody just for that though
@@charlesg7926 that's life, sheep's.
I've never hated russ. I think he's declined, and relied alot on his speed and athletic ability. I also think he's incredibly corny, but I'll take a guy who's corny over genuinely bad people like Antonio brown, Deshaun Watson, Ben Roethlisberger etc
DeShaun Watson was framed and those women were paid to lie!
The funny thing is that Lynch and Sherman are raging drunks and bad people while Russell hasn’t hurt anyone, people think he may be a phony. Yeah right.
one of the most sensible and logical comments ive ever seen.
Yeah for real, people hate russ more than they hate people who beat their wife/girlfriend in the league. Sad what people put on pedestals
It's silly to act like this even matters. IDC how corny he is, no one would care if he was playing well.
Saying he’s in the Truman show.. and knows it.. is the single best way to describe his attitude this season😂
My wife and I have been joking for years that one of these days were going to learn that Wilson has been torturing homeless people in his basement, just because he has that fake perfect guy appearance, he must be hiding something.
More intellectual, reflective and thoughtful than professionals on networks, honestly, with an extra dose of comedic brilliance. You are a special one my guy!
As a 49ers fan all I can say is, if we were playing Russell Wilson, I had a strong feeling we were gonna lose. I hated playing that guy.
Say what you want but this guy won a ton of games with his talent and skillset. I respect him as a player and as a person.
You can turn off your PTSD now. He isn't Russell Wilson anymore. He is a college qb failure.
@@mackdye9070 😄
@@mackdye9070 queef
@@mackdye9070 yes we can't all be a successful manager at Arby's like you.
Honestly why did we have to give him this massive contract before he took a single snap ?
Hype is a crazy drug
It was the only way to get him to agree to the trade since he had control over where he went.
I was a bit shocked to tbh. Could have waited to sort it out st the end of the year. Maybe he looked good in practice and they thought if that translated into games it would be much higher.
because the broncos didn't want to have to one up Lamar's future contract
Clown Franchise 🤣
Marshawn even talked about wanting to reach out to Russ on Sherman's podcast. He said if he can't reach out directly to him he isn't going to talk to him. So maybe the fact he has handlers and PR teams in the way are the reason that no one is backing him up.
He probably never had his cell i worked with folks everyday and did not have their cell
@@SS-fb7zd That's the point Marshawn is making. For example, I find it hard to imagine that Sherman doesn't have Bobby, KJ or Kam's personal numbers. They "went to war together". Marshawn can't get in touch with Russ directly because he's behind a wall of handlers. That's the point of what him and Sherman were making.
@@MrElephantshell because they never were on that level i bet and because he see this mess he wanted to reach out then . But look no different than reaching out to a third party and saying tell him I need his cell. I think it is overblown
@@SS-fb7zd dude… that’s the point… no one’s defending Russell because those “deep” or “personal” connections were never made.
RUSS DON'T HAVE TO GIVE HIS NUMBER OUT. BOTH MARSHAW AND SHERMAN HAVE ISSUES IN THEIR LIFE THAT THEY NEED TO FOCUS ON. INSTEAD OF WHAT RUSS IS DOING
Richard Sherman never met a grudge he didn't like...
The Carlton Banks insult got me 😂😂😂
Short and corny
When I get depressed, I look back at reactions to the trade when it first happened. Broncos fans were ecstatic, Seahawks fans were devastated. It puts the toxicity recently in perspective
What happens when you have to come back to reality and realize Shithawk fans couldn’t be happier he’s gone cause Gino is playing better and they will be getting 2 top 10 1st round draft picks from us? Meanwhile he’s the worst QB in the league as our QB. its like waking up from a dream you won the lottery only to remember you’re broke af!
You act like he's been there five years. Not saying you're wrong but at least wait before taking this position. Do you really think Geno can keep being this good and Russ this bad?
the only seahawks fans that were devasted were the casual, fair-weather, bandwagoners with no real football knowledge. I was so happy when we traded Mr. Limited.
@@onyourkilllist6880 Man, I said "toxicity" and you popped up like Beetlejuice. I'm not happy with the way things are now, though I'm hoping it gets better. But I appreciate perspective. There's a lot of Seahawks fans pretending that they've always hated Wilson and saw this coming. Taking a trip back in time tells a different story. There's a lot of broncos fans moaning about ending up with Russ, as if there was a single better option this off-season that we wouldn't have crucified George Paton for taking.
I hate Wilson's contract. I hated Hacketts decision making. I hate that we had to make that deal with Satan in 2015 that allowed us to win the Superbowl but in return be cursed to always have excellent defense and abysmal offense.
But I'm still glad we got Wilson, and I will retain hope for at least another season.
@@HawkLad I’m of the opinion that Russ has done good things in Seattle, but it’s time to let him go and for the hawks to start a new. I’m neither happy nor sad to see him go, but you can’t just say Seahawks fan who feel sad about Russ leaving are fair weathered and have no real football knowledge, that’s just bullshit. However I do believe that Wilson’s reputation is more mixed among Seahawks faithfuls, that’s a given.
If him being corny is the worst thing about him then there’s no problem tbh lol
The issue is he’s been dog shit though
I think it’s that we’ve all met people who signal so hard, that it becomes obvious they’re really shitty when nobody is watching.Might be unfair, but this is how it feels to me.
@@Y2K2PointO there’s literally no evidence he’s a shitty person lol
But that's NOT the worst thing about him.
@@randyrenner7643 bro if your gonna say he's a bad person then just be quiet we all know Sherman is talking crap and can't stay on topic
Yes more longer videos they help me out when I’m doing homework and when I have to commute a hour + there and back. Keep up the amazing work perna!👍🏾
I think Russell Wilson is really a good guy who tries to be too careful in speaking to the media (or anybody) that he comes across as fake or ingenuine. He is also very religious, which can make some people uncomfortable when he talks to them. The guy has never done anything wrong off-the-field other than doing corny commercials. He can rub people the wrong way, but he is hardly Public Enemy #1.
The main reason former Seahawk was layers hate Russ is because he go this thing where you can’t contact him directly, you have to go through his rep to get to him, Sherm and Marshawn were recently talking about on Sherms podcast, Marshawn said he wanted to reach out to Russ to tell him to keep his head up and not listen to all the noise and Richard told him you ain’t gon be able to contact him and Marshawn said if he can’t hit you up directly he ain’t gon hit you up at all, he added he ain’t going through no rep. It’s hard to be friends with someone who has this wall up where his former teammates can’t even contact him directly. I’m guessing that’s one of the reasons why former teammates don’t like him so much 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
The whole rep thing garbage. If they were man enough they would call out Russ in front of his face ask him to not put them to contact his rep. Did they ever do that. they never said they did. As man or someone who is a friend would go to that person personally and call them out and resolve it correctly. Get off Sherman’s balls.
@@benz310. you get off Russ’ balls, you don’t know if they didn’t try to tell him that that’s how they wanna contact him and he said no, and yet you say what you say, all I’m saying is there shouldn’t be a need to tell him that he shouldn’t be using reps if he didn’t use reps in the first place. You don’t hear Brady or Rodgers or Mahomes or Allen and so on using reps to communicate with teammates or former teammates
@@goathawk3897 of course we don’t know and not even you and every other person who reads your comment. You can’t take whatever they say as a fact. Just because some drama queens say something it’s not fact. All this hate toward a damn player who is doing his job to throw the damn ball and win games over a damn rep is crazy. Defenses will always have conflicting views with the offenses and Vice versa. For example 2015 Broncos defense. They even said it themselves that they have to do all the work themselves(the defense) to win most games and they knew that from the start. And Sherman and kj wright acting like drama queens saying Russ gets preferences. Every great player gets preferences. And great players say it themselves as well. In an athletic game as long as my teammate is doing his homework and continues to show drive to win he can act corny all he wants. I don’t need him to fit in, just be himself even if it’s corny. And that’s the main problem with people quick to jump to assumptions based of what someone says rather than fact. The world revolves mostly on fact not opinion or he said or she said. Facts.
@@benz310. you do know, he said the problem they have is the need to contact a rep, yes? You write 3 paragraphs about nothing and refuse to acknowledge what the guy said. If someone's in their feelings and a drama queen, it's you.
@@benz310. so it's the other players' responsibility to tell russ that he should ditch the whole rep thing in the first place? lmao. he's a teammate, not a fucking ceo
Holy shit that intro was so fucking clean. It looked like a WWE promo
It'll never happen, but someday I would love to see a detailed analysis of ALL Russ' sacks in here Seattle. He obviously scrambled out of a lot of them, but I genuinely wonder how many he might have scrambled himself _into._ That analysis probably wouldn't hold a lot of surprises, our line was pretty bad at times... but I'd still be interested to see it.
In any case, it's wild to see how bad he has tanked in Denver. Even though his Carlton-esque personality always bugged me, I really came to believe that it was a key part of his success. He never lets anything get him down, never gets mad, never gives up on a game. So goddamn corny and wholesome, you couldn't help but find it inspiring. I still won't be surprised if he finds a way to end his career on a very high note.
You are not a joke.
You can couch your show in that, humor, yes you are freeking funny.
Because of you I see Sherm very differently, very.
You make very clear and truthful points and vlear doubstandards nobody is willing to say.
Keep doing it.
Thank you for being nuanced about Seahawks fans having a different take. As one; I think most of us would like to see him succeed eventually (we want the picks this year tho) and appreciate what he did. That said, we were also sick of hearing from Russ and everyone else about how he supposedly carried this team (and "brought us a Superbowl)
He didn't "singlehandedly " bring us a superbowl. But he is the best qb in our history. It can be both lol
Without Russ You have Zero Superbowls.
@@acbabelgates9386 and without the legion of boom we have zero. And without Carroll we have zero. What's your point?
@@Wolverine_onYTTV Thats my point be Thankful. Dude got yall a Ship. Not only him But with him.
@@acbabelgates9386 idk if you misunderstood my comment or what. But I said he was the greatest qb in our history. Does that sound ungrateful? Lol
Man I SMASHED the like button and subscribed the minute you said "Russ has never broken that "fake" character. MAYBE that's just who he is." Russ ain't a stereotypical guy. He never has been, and never tried to be. He's ALWAYS been a goofy guy and religious. People just want his personality to be fake because they don't believe its really him. But it's the same Russ that he's always been.
yeah nah, hes deffinitly changed. Went from a conservative personality to the Jock who wears thick dark sunshades indoors to look Cool and stand out. Takes a lot for that kind of 180 change
I'm entirely convinced that Ciara taught him how to be cool but he only took the advice superficially, leading to him only acting cool without any of the confidence and swagger
@@mikerhem1273 you know maybe like getting married and having kids will change people.
Not to mention if you're not an example of the stereotype they attack you for being ddifferent.
@@theocjr.43 Exactly. Russ has always been a religious "cool" nerd. In Seattle he ended every interview with "Go Hawks". Now he ends every interview with "Let's Ride". Yeah he matured and dressed a little different. But that just comes with age and money.
Very thoughtful commentary Perna (and Will). Much appreciated!
Awesome video man. Keep it up!
I don't recall Russ saying anything about how teamates are consistantly dropping passes.
Lifelong Seahawks fan here who grew up idolizing Steve Largent. I love Russell Wilson. I've loved him from day one because he is a hard worker, went ten years without missing a game, and WON ME A FUCKING SUPER BOWL.
Actually, the leagues best defense giving up only 14 points per game got seattle the superbowl. What happened a year later when it was riding on wilson as the LOB was all banged up.? Wilson thru an int at the one yard line....and he literally didn't get any blame for that pick that thru the game away.
Wilson " I don't want to play in seattle, I want to go to a team that wants to win'
Wilson " in a 24 point lead in the 2nd half gets pissed that carroll won't let him throw for a bunch more yards, instead running and using the clock and then winning the game."
Theres a reason why hes got alot of former teamates that dont' like him.
@@sssarzzz That loss is on Pete Carroll. If a run play had been called, Wilson would have handed the ball to Lynch. That aside, please name another Seahawks QB who has won a Super Bowl?
@@ReklawLah so just hand ball to lynch and he will get it in. ..they tried that with nfc championship and u got a turn over .
I don't think it's asking to much for an NFL QB to get one yard at most, and incomplete at least.
What did Wilson ...he stared down the receiver and led him with ball instead of throwing where it's either caught or incomplete.
There r Superbowls were we say the QB won it . Like Brady coming back from 28 to 3 and some day defenses won or special teams..like Broncos in Mannings last year...and Wilson in2013.
A little over 30 min in game and Seattle's defense/special teams scored more then offense..which was game over at that point.
Offense 13 def and special 16points.
@@ReklawLah Amazon how a QB looking right at receiver the entire play while leading the throw instead of throwing where only his receiver can caught is NOT Wilson's fault.
All u same people if Lynch was handed the ball and he fumbled would be complaining as to why didn't they trust Wilson to get one yard.
....Seattle had banged up defense....and Wilson and the offense had drive after drive in 4th to put patriots away but scored nothing. I guess all those failed 4th quarter drives are the coaches fault.
@@ReklawLah Apparently Wilson sucks so bad that Pete asking him to throw on 2nd and goal and do anything BUT a turn over is negligence on Pete Carroll.
Pete should have known Wilson would stare down receiver and lead the pass where it could be picked.
Of course it's not Wilson's fault, it's Pete for not instructing Wilson how to throw were only received can get or incomplete stupid Pete
Btw I mixed up lunches goal line fumbling...that was the first NFC championship...u know the one the defense stepped up in fourth quarter to win as it wasn't like the offense was ever going to put that game away.
Well done! Very wholesome and you bring up great points. Sherman is attention grabbing tbh, and his quotes are getting used out of context, but that isn't a responsibility most journalists want. He doesn't deserve this, and that is a new staff in there, it is hard to tell what they are wanting everyone to be doing. I think one of the biggest problem with Russ is he is trying to have that presence and it just isn't jiving, especially because the plays aren't being made. I hope that changes for you all but it doesn't seem likely, like you said with half the team on IR, going to take a lot. I was hoping to watch them today but they are on MNF oh boy.
Love Your channel. I just subscribed. Keep up the great content. Thank You for keeping it real.
"Except for Antonio Brown but he's crazy" this shit made me laugh unexpectedly
Russell wilson is in the that weird grey area where if he was slightly more cringe he would be beloved like tebow
The difference is that Tebow came across as authentic, he said what he thought. Wilson comes across as a phony who never actually says what he thinks or feels, he says what he thinks he should say. They aren't the same thing and people sense this. We all know him/her, have worked with them have family like that etc.
@@davidfoster2629 I suppose "cringe" and "authentic" are synonyms nowadays
@davidfoster2629 both are hated bc they are Christian including tua.
I just love your show!! You have the talent of speaking the truth in a hilarious way which to me is a... TOUCHDOWN!! I'm a Seattle resident and a loyal diehard Seahawks #12/ Ladyhawk. You are so accurate about #3! It's sad but true! We now have a winning team and an amazing Quarterback Geno Smith!! We're going to the playoffs!💚💙💚💙💚💙
Excellent commentary and analysis 👍🏾💯
It’s “just business” when an organization goes out looking for someone’s replacement, but a player becomes the scum of the Earth when they seek another situation for themselves. As much as I don’t mind seeing Denver struggle, all of these non-football related attacks against Russ just makes me want to see him play better even more. Good video, Perna
He did it to himself.
Thank you for this nuanced analysis. I am hopping Russel Wilson is able to get back to form.
😂😂😂
I like the Guy. Had some great memories and achievements as a seahawks fan. His blessings for the my team, continues even though he has left. Frankly, Russ is one of the best things that has happened for the seahawks and for that, I will always be grateful. Let's ride!
Seahawks fan here. Thanks for the continued permission to tell you to eat crow :D
Russ is still working hard to get us those draft picks!
As a Seahawks fan. Who loves watching Brandon’s show. It’s been fun to see the roller coaster Brandon has been on since Russ landed in Denver. “7 Stages of Grief”
Weirdly enough I feel like people are criticizing Wilson because of broncos fans. When russ got traded all you heard was oh we fleeced the Seahawks and we are gonna finish first in the division. When russ got extended before taking a snap broncos fans were saying we got a steal. The off-season hype created by broncos fans was obnoxious as a result made people want to see the broncos fail and the target obviously starts with the quarterback. The amount of times I heard don't sleep on the broncos or we will have a top 5 team was insane. In the end I think hype is the reason Wilson has a huge target on his back. Also Nathaniel Hackett was just straight up Aaron Rodgers bait 🪤 he wasn't really a hot candidate pretty sure every team with an established quarterback wasn't thinking of hiring Nathaniel Hackett
@@alecovan2856 "All you heard" I heard just as much skepticism as the over-hype. It seemed that the majority opinion was "Well, great to have him, but they gave up way too much."
As a Seattle fan, it sucks to see Russ struggle like this. I rooted against him in week 1, but wanted him to ball out the rest of the year. Hopefully he figures it out soon.
As a Seahawks fan, knowing that we get better draft picks if Russell fails I'm definitely hoping he continues to suck this year. The one thing I know is I'm glad he's gone. I don't care if it takes years to get back to being good, I don't want a QB on the Seahawks if they don't want to be there.
@@grocerylist for real Geno is a dream. I’ll always appreciate Russ for the great 10 years. Carol knew he wasn’t a pocket passer, Russ thought otherwise. He became the Hollywood poser that we could get rid of for many picks. Russ threw our o line under the bus but he was holding on to the ball to long they actually graded 13th but he was there too long. Scrambling was his game but he’s too old and ignorant for that
Its the whole team struggling. Russ will be fine!
Let's hope he plays like crap the rest of the season so Seattle gets better draft position
@@acbabelgates9386 Defense overall looks great, at least top 5 ranked to start the season.
Russell complained about getting sacked too much in Seattle... the problem wasn't his offensive line, it's that he holds on to the ball too damn long. He's currently on pace for 55 sacks which would be the most in his career. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. He's been exposed and no longer has Coach Carroll to cover up Russell's flaws.
I've been a Bengals fan all my life. However I've always liked the Denver Broncos since the Elway years. I was also lucky enough to live in Denver for 10 years and I was there when the Broncos won the Super Bowl with Manning. So the Broncos will always have a place in my heart. I'm glad I ran across your Channel I like the humor and the way you present your ideas. I also really hope that Wilson turns it around. Because it's going to be a real painful 4 years in Denver if he doesn't. I'm looking forward to see your next videos and best wishes from a Bengals fan.
Randomly came across this, and I just like the respect you're giving the Broncos, so thanks for that! Best of wishes to the Bengals from a Broncos fan! Kick KC's ass for us next season if we haven't done it yet.
Hey man, really enjoying your videos. Subscribed!
I'll tell you why people have turned on Wilson: because he told the world that he would be better if it wasn't for lesser talents holding him back. He portrayed himself as the selfless player following the game plan of his conservative coaches to the detriment of his own personal glory. Then when he got the chance to prove it, it appears that it was exactly the other way around, i.e., the coaches, teammates, and game plans made Wilson look better than he actually was. This might be complete bullshit: maybe he's just older now and he would have lived up to his own hype five years ago, or maybe the Broncos coaches aren't putting him in a position to succeed. But regardless of the reality, nobody likes a big-talker who takes the credit doesn't actually have the skills to back it up--maybe because every person has had to deal with that type of person at some point--and that's how Russell Wilson is coming across the people right now. I suppose you could say he's embodying the sort of person everyone has had to deal with, and whom everyone hates. I think it's overblown, but no one said public opinion was logical or fair, and Wilson at least has the luxury of crying himself to sleep on a pile of money. And I'm sure that mental image doesn't make him any more likeable to his detractors. I'm not a Broncos fan but I hope Wilson figures his shit out. It's always depressing to see a HoF career end in boos and ineptitude.
Totally agree
Not a lot of people gonna read this comment bcuz of the length but I think you hit the nail in the head.
The worst/best thing about all this, is that the way he "told the world" was very subtle, very indirect
It was all through implications and plausible deniability
Which I believe makes him more unlikeable
@@MHNK77 the way Russell does it is very coy, indirect, and wishy washy, and people are tired of having to guess around each and every move of yours. It’s a given.
For me, being a Seahawks fan, I cheered for him right up until he demanded to be the "highest payed football player ever". With that price tag came a budget deficit everywhere else on the field, and he acted like it wasn't his fault Seattle couldn't pay for more talent around him. Denver then made the same mistake and payed him, trading away any opportunity they had to build a complete team around a solid QB. Wilson's ego lines his pockets, but cripples his teams.
@@mantis1s1k Exactly, with a hard cap if you're getting max money the team is going to have to sacrifice everywhere else, like trying to draft a good OL and going cheap on kickers (Blair Walsh). I don't blame a guy for wanting to get paid but then blaming the org for getting hit when you hold the ball forever and they went through a five-year stretch where they drafted more linemen than any other team by a long shot, that's a bad look.
Russell’s still a legend in my eyes. It’s not a coincidence that as soon as he starts playing like trash on a different team, everybody decides to crawl out of their holes and tell him he’s been overrated his entire career and had no part in going to two super bowls. Nobody wanted to talk shit when he was playing at an elite level every year, but now they wanna come out once he stumbles in his career.
Your eyes obviously haven't been subjected to the last few years of Seahawks football...
@@carrite Where they were winning 10+ games every year prior to his last season with them and he was putting up QB ratings each season of at least 103 during those years?
Wilson's career has been pretty consistent in Seattle. Eight 10+ win regular seasons, the occasional division title (he's won 4 in 10 seasons) and 8 playoff appearances. Roughly half of these accomplishments were without Lynch and the Legion of Boom. All 3 clearly needed to be together for the Seahawks to get to win their only Super Bowl and later fell 1 yard short of repeating.
@@clipcoug1139 yeah but Russ didn't win the Super Bowl EVERY year, so...argue with those facts
@@EmperorStarscream: Hard to do when your defense was average to poor during those last few years. Lynch and the LOB were only winning 7 games a season before Russell became starting QB, it was because Tarvaris Jackson at QB, not Russ.
@@clipcoug1139 I was being sarcastic, fanbases expect way too much, 1 championship is more than 75% of the league gets to experience every decade
That was one of those UA-cam videos that you just don't want to end because it's just so f****** perfect
Russ is learning how to be a pocket passer. He’s athletically past his prime, and he WANTS to prolong his career by cutting down on hits.
We’re watching a player with massive expectations learn how to play QB a completely different way, with a new EVERYTHING.
Deep...Deep...Deep...Deep inside Brandon Perna wished that the Broncos picked up Aaron Rodgers instead of Russell Wilson.
"Wilson ignored it like an open reciever" perfect.
This statement alone caused me to trip and fall on the floor laughing so hard I peed myself…..
This intro was amazing 😂 👍🏾
Russell Wilson is like the congressman guy from Parks and Rec that April calls out for being a robot. Like dead on
Winning solves everything.
Funny enough. In my day to day, a guy like RW would annoy me but seeing a humble and polite celebrity athlete is so refreshing. I loved him in Seattle and hope he continues to succeed.
you must be the kinda person who voted for Biden only because orange man bad.
Is he really humble though? Seems arrogant to me.
@@jeremyphillips3087 did you watch the vid bro. Like 1000 cases of him being humble
I've heard he sucks in person and only does good deeds for photo ops
@@colem209 how many cases of him being arrogant were there?
As a Seahawks fan, the worst the broncos do this season the better it is for us, we can be nice to him next season, or maybe 4 seasons later
Nice edit in the intro.. forgot I was watching the low budget that’s good sports channel 🤣 right on man. Keep up the good work… less ride…

@@anarchy1090 it fits like a glove
I'm still hoping for sweet serendipity knowing that the Broncos were 2-3 in Manning's first year with Denver and the turning point in that season was a week 6 Monday night road game against the Chargers. May the football gods smile on us with this 2-3 record and a... Week 6 Monday night road game against the Chargers.
I realized this too the other day… hopefully it plays out a similar way to that 2012 season 🤞🏽
@@dja93 We can only hope.
Major problem though is in Manning's 2/3 he was throwing great scoring TDs and the offense was rolling. This year's 2 wins are perhaps, outside of Chicago, the 2 most empty wins in the league. And the offense isn't looking better, it's looking worse each week. Best of luck.
@@davet2459 The offense is rolling. They just aren't getting in the end zone. Wilson has almost 1300 passing yards, but only 4 TDs.
That is a crazy coincidence. I'm not a Broncos fan, but I hope it works out. All this negativity around Wilson and watching a great QB downfall is never fun to watch to anyone but haters.
Great video & analysis
Fantastic video, Brandon. All great points
It's not that the man is corny, It's that his entire persona feels manufactured and disingenuous. Corny is endearing. Fake is gut wrenchingly cringe.
Well put.
Granted, but it’s a free country, he’s allowed to be his disingenuous self, just like people are allowed to criticize him, but personally it says more about the people sending cheap shots his way than it does him imo.
@@Avogadros_number Nah, bad take. He's a public figure with an entire PR team that spends countless hours putting his face and persona on display. That inherently draws both praise and criticism by design. If this was just Joe blow who works at the Wawa I'd agree with you.
How did you arrive at that conclusion about his persona?
@@Avogadros_number What a pointless comment.
It’s because not only does he have 2 first names, he also has 2 last names
Hahaha.
So does Richard Sherman.
I am a Seattle fan and I know I'm really late to the party here, but when I booed Russ in that Week 1 game, I did it literally because of the fact that it was him on another team playing against us. It wasn't because I hate the guy; he, the Legion of Boom, Pete Carroll and everybody else on that team in 2013 and 2014 are literally the reason I became a football fan. I actually wanted him to dominate this year (just as long as it wasn't against Seattle, of course) because I know he's a fantastic QB. I assumed this line of thought was how Seahawks felt in general.
I didn't think it was such a crime then, that us 12s booed Russ. To me it was just a "Hey I hope our team destroys your team no matter how good you are because you know, that's what us sports fans like to say, but I still wish all the best for you after this because you won us that Superbowl" kind of boo. Nothing personal. Sucks that nobody recognized it this way.
So on point. Best in the business
i just seem him as a guy who cares more for his own brand than the brand of the Denver Broncos. And that is my main issue.
Same thing in Seattle.
went through my twenties watching russell and I got to say he was down right inspiring I loved watching him play as a seahawk and I honestly hope he plays better because I just hope for the best for the guy. as for his personality I totally get it, its an act that he has to play he doesn't want to be upsetting or controversial with his dialog specifically, but he also needs to create a brand and an image that's marketable for his future which is also understandable. this is obviously a tight rope to walk, but he roles with it, leans into it and has fun with it, which is at the very least more content for the fans. hopefully things work out for the better
Thanks for this lol was hoping to find a video on this
That family guy Pepperidge farm reference killed me 😂
As a hawks fan RW3 has been great for the team, fan's and community. 1st SB win, lots of play off appearances, time at children's hospital and finally a decent hull to trade him as a cherry on top 😜
Thats Good Sports- As a Seattle resident and a Hawks fan, I was 100% behind Wilson for the 8 of his 10 years here. His last 2 years here weren’t great and his last year was bad.
The Wilson “thing” has many layers to it. Lets go start at SB50. There might be some truth to the play call. I don’t know if it was an audible or he convinced Pete to do a pass play but I believe he coveted that SB MVP and the glory. Pete is a veteran coach that knows what to do in situations like that. Who’s going to be remembered more? The QB that hands off for the win? Or the QB that passes for the win? Wilson is obsessed with legacy, and it wasn’t obvious back then as it was in his last 2 years here.
Now to his last 2 years where he wanted to cook. Pete let him cook until he burned the food against the Bills and Pete said nope, no more. I also think that leading up to his last 2 years here he broke plays intentionally so he could throw it. We’re teammates covering for him? I think so; especially the offense. As a player that counts on getting the ball; they aren’t going to throw him under the bus; they do that they don’t get the ball.
Wilson got booed because of HOW he left, not because he left.
Wilson’s deep ball hasn’t been good for some time, lat injury or not. Wilson also isn’t Manning. He’s not Brady. He can’t do for the Broncos what Manning did or what Brady did for the Bucs. He wants what those guys had/have and he’s not earned it.
For a bunch of guys with business acumen- the guys that bought the Broncos- they sure did a bad business deal signing Wilson to such a massive extension before he even took a snap! Broncos should have waited until he was into year 2 of what he had left.
The Broncos have set themselves back a decade at least because of their choices with Wilson. 3 things in his colts post game were true; 1- he let the team down. 2- he needs to play better. 3- 2 interceptions can’t happen. Everything else was word salad. It was BS that no one wants to hear. The locker room doesn’t want to hear how he believes he’s a winner. That locker room also isn’t going to lie for him either. He hasn’t earned their respect.
Lets get to HC Hackett. What did he mean when he said he got the go ahead to run that play? From who?!!! He’s the GD coach! He makes the calls!!! Hackett needs to put his foot down and be the coach and have a coach player relationship with Wilson and not a partnership.
Hackett is in the hot seat and if he doesn’t get fired in the middle of the season he will at the end and Wilson will be watching the SB from his suite.
After re-watching the video of the goal line int, it does not appear to be an audible
Excellent work!!
As a 9er fan I moved to Seattle 8yrs ago and most of the fans you see and hear are because of Wilson all the old timers always told me there were on a few real fans until they won personally I still hope he does great for your Broncos i want to see you guy in the playoffs
I take pleasure of seeing Seattle self destruct in Sacramento all these hawks fans coming out of nowhere in a ditch lol

Russ will turn it around. He typically is not a quitter. You need a coach that insists Russ run the offense and do his check downs. He can’t scramble like he used to. Still has a cannon and is accurate when relaxed
He lost his mentor last season, which was tough for him. He has changed since he married a star. He needs to show some emotion. He sees like he is always acting.
I'm riding with you, Russ. Get your head clear and bounce back!
Wilson has been my fav NFL player since he entered the league. I don't care what he's like off the field, dude used to be magical - he had that extra ability to win games out of nowhere that many QBs have never had. I'm neither a Seahawks nor Broncos fan, but I sincerely hope he bounces back.
I wasn't magical, it was his ability to scramble and run. He is older and as you age you slow down. He had to scramble because he struggles to read the defence and find open recievers. Now that is what he has to do, he will struggle.
@@craigburghardt8604 not true there was plenty of times he could create magic from within the pocket or without scrambling.
@@malcolmreid2135 He scrambled a lot. Often I was scratching my head why. Then replays would show he missed open recievers when he started to scramble.
@@craigburghardt8604 exactly. Y’all can’t complain that he scrambles alot and missed receivers from scrambling but then get mad that he doesn’t scramble alot because he is keeping his eyes down the field. Like you can’t have it both ways. You don’t think Lamar Is missing open receivers when he takes off?
Used to be magical,is the operative word here.
All of your graphics have curved edges in order to fit on the CRT display. Props to you sir. that is attention to detail
that was a great joke w the airbags hahahaha u got my laugh out loud
Some good stuff, as always, but I've got to push back on the "Russ rushed back from his injury to support the team." My interpretation-and I'm sure it's shared-is that Geno was doing pretty well in relief after his torn finger. So you're trying to convey to the football world how great you would be on their team, and your backup is starting to show that he can lead the team as well as you can. Turn that over in your mind. So Russ comes back early and puts Geno back on the bench. But he's back too soon, and the 'Hawks lose several games because he can't throw well. If Russ wanted to support the team, he would have stayed on the sidelines and let his finger heal completely.
Qb get most of the blame, But play calling and execution from your teammates also play a huge role. Try to base loses because of his finger is irrational. If you know your a starter and know you can somewhat throw the ball like before you would want to come back. Great qbs take every possible rep. Even players say it. They want to be on the field all the time because they don’t want to give anyone a chance to take there jobs. I’ll take Russ over Geno any day.
Geno was horrible in every game but the jags so that's bs and no fucking competitor is going to want to sit out after they are cleared to play.
@@ralexand56 no he wasn't.. The seahawks were in every game he played.. He wasn't as efficient as this season but he was ok for a guy who didn't start for years
@@RaaaYG4eveR the defense were playing alot better but the offense was pretty anemic and the games ended in turnovers by the offense. You guys are just wearing rose colored glasses but people were calling for the return of Wilson.
Well, gosh. Well, it's my interpretation, as stated. You can make a case for Russ being a gamer, and I can make a case that he was looking to his next contract (which we now know he was whether he should have played or not). His first games back he was hitting some stuff, but also missing pretty badly on other stuff, which you can imagine with such a nasty injury. Geno is doing great now, and he was OK for a guy coming off the bench in an emergency, but in spite of thinking what I think, I would have like Russ to stay.
I can't say I have followed everything crazy closely, but from what I have seen Russ wants to be a celebrity over being an NFL player. Not that he doesn't want to be a player, just that it is more important for him to maintain his celebrity status than his NFL career.
Isn’t he notorious for watching tons of film, and working harder than everyone else? He spends like $1 mil a year to maintain his body so he can play for 10 more years.
@@nyyandnyk27 I think that's Brady.
@@chronomage13 nah it’s Wilson. Every Tuesday he doesn’t film study with the offense and he spends an annual $1 million dollars on his body, im assuming the trainers and stuff along that nature.
Can that VCR work properly or at all with that big ass TV and the other equipment on top of it?
Great breakdown.. I Always wondered why people here in Seattle hated Russ... Its always the same narrative when I ask... He thinks he was better than the team blah blah blah... True or not, people cant know his beliefs. I Love Russ corny or not and he spent tons of time in the hospitals with the kids... so Besides this season that gives us great draft picks if he fails this year, I hope he makes a comeback next year.. The previous team members hold grudges based on the attention and teams success being so much attributed to him.. He like many of people that grew up strong in the church have a corny vibe.. but I respect it because they try not to let the tragic trifling thoughts that consume us consume them.. And it shows in their personalities in all they do. One thing missed is here in Seattle there has been a lot more talk of Russ not sticking to the play... not wanting to wear the plays on the wrist and waisting years of play calls he never seemed to stick to... But if thats the case it would be on the coaches for allowing that to slide so long. Anyway Russ just took up more of my life in this story I wrote than I ever imagined he would.... Cheers to Russ...Next year tho! 🤣😂🤣😂
Know what, I appreciate you putting this up.
In the beginning I was upset about losing Russ and us keeping Pete and Jon (who I am still judging for losses and poor decisions within the last 3-4 years). However, with the stuff Richard and KJ brought up and the different narratives running around, Russ' antics, all that helps make things more clear for me.
I may still be a lil sore about losing Russ I am not feeling as upset as I used to be. Also Geno sort of won me over this past Sunday.
@@mikem4481 It's why I said "sort of".
I think, in time, you will see how brilliant Schneider and Pete are. They were carrying the Seahawks not Russell.
dont forget russ said he wanted to be a seahawk forever then was gone a week later and also threw all his hawks teammates under the bus saying they couldnt get it done
@@mikem4481 genos been a top 10 qb so far this year
I've been watching this show for years. It's not metaphorically my only source for Broncos stuff. I want to acknowledge how much actual, visceral, hard work it must take to put all of these shows on and how much I appreciate it. Hard work is the great equalizer and I hope you get all the corrupt, big media money someday.
Right?!! 👏💪
I was laughing like a maniac when you talked about kyle living in a glass house
I dont hate the dude, i just think hes broken. Hes not leading Receivers up field on crossing routes (which highschool QBs know how to do)
Hes not communicating with his O-line. Hes conatantly throwing balls Away from receivers like he forgot the play call or something weird. Hes also not using his athleticism at all really. I just dont understand whats wrong with him. These are things rookie QBs know.
The following explains the russell situation: "The game isn’t about an individual player here or there. It’s about team. This is the ultimate team sport and it’s been stated so many times before. It takes everybody." -Pete Carroll
this is dope... good man
"you figure that out" is one of my favorite Pete lines lol
You've made me enjoy sports talk again, thanks bro. 👍
Love how Matt Flynn took a shot at himself by comparing himself to Russ
As a Seahawks fan I will always be a Russell Wilson fan but dude went all Hollywood on everyone. He cares about his image now more than football.
Can't blame him. Dudes got 150 mil guaranteed, why work any harder than you need to? Might as well enjoy life.
Love listening Richard Sherman speak, unless it's on my front porch in a rampage!
"This man is the real life version of Carlton Banks." EXACTLY
Honestly I can see the comparison.
I am mouth agape at that amazing throne’s analogy. Sums everything up perfectly
This video is especially interesting now that Wilson is playing like a top-5 QB so far in 2023. People have been pretty quiet on the Russ front. We're still losing but he's playing well? I have no clue what's going on with the Broncos or Russ rn tbh
I feel like Wilson really has felt very inauthentic, like the kid in school who's somehow always upbeat and positive even in bad situations, since the beginning. Then he started to develop this mindset of being the reason his team was winning while having the Legion of Boom and Beastmode. Goes elsewhere after his team starts to suck, claiming it'll be nice to not have to carry the team, but despite their stacked roster they suck. Plus his old team is doing alright without him so far. Then he does all that corny shit on top of it. If he came off as real he'd mostly get a pass, but he doesn't so he gets slammed lol
He didn't have the legion of boom when he was still making the playoffs every year.
@@mr.rager_the_1st728 Legion of Boom slowly deteriorated, they didn't all leave or fall off all at once. They still had a pretty dominant defense a couple years after their last SB appearance
@@47jakobi the legion of boom ended in 2017. They no longer had a dominant defense or offensive line after that year and were still winning and that was because of Russell Wilson. The slander is stupid at this point. No he isn't playing good football, but he is still a good football player. No one talks about his good game against the raiders or Seahawks because they didn't win them lol. Russ will figure it out.
@@mr.rager_the_1st728 Oh, so you mean to say they still had a dominant defense a couple years after their last superbowl like I said?

@@47jakobi my point is his team sucked long ago lol. Or did you not realize how long its been since 2017?
