Been saying this about Russell Wilson for more than 5 years. People looked at me like I was crazy. Those feelings came from seeing a clip of him talking to teammates on the bench in Seattle probably 7 or 8 years ago. You could see then exactly the same guy a lot of people are finally waking up to now. Just a complete fake, self-absorbed dude. An "image is everything" dude. Kyle Brandt's story about him wearing sunglasses and putting his hand up when people just tried to talk to him is exactly who Russell Wilson is.
The fact that Russell Wilson said, "Broncos Country, let's ride," after last night's game gives validity to the idea that he's disingenuous a lot of the time. If he was willing to force a disingenuous "Let's ride" in that moment, how are we supposed to know when he's authentic?
Imagine being a Broncos fan and seeing Russell Wilson destroy your team in the Super Bowl, and eight years later he comes to Denver to destroy your team again for 17 consecutive weeks. Ooof. #LetsRidepic.twitter.com/LrT58I9vax

Honestly, I am impressed that you're still posting. This is probably the latest into a season that you've posted since Manning. [Reply]

You forgot "and our $240M QB tossing INTs in the red zone....." [Reply]

Wilson threw the potentially game sealing INT. It was a stupid throw he should know better than to make. He missed Hamler in OT on a game winning throw. Wilson, far more than Hackett cost them the game. [Reply]

Wilson played very poorly, and is not the QB I thought he was. However, I have to imagine he'd be playing better if the plays were in any way suited to his skillset. Maybe we could try just one rollout? [Reply]

If that last play call, where a guy was wide open running into the endzone, wasn't good enough for Wilson.... [Reply]
I honestly feel bad for you. Sincerely. Obviously just joking with you about there being a spot on the Chiefs bandwagon. Anyone who's really a fan of a team is a fan for life. [Reply]

Perhaps, but Wilson is enough of a Veteran he can ad lib some. The reality though is that he’s making poor decisions and those decisions cost them last night. [Reply]
