Sean Payton to Russell Wilson: "Focus less on 'Russell Inc' if you want to salvage your career"

Wow...pretty brutal assessment but honest.

 

“He told Wilson that to salvage his career he needed to focus less on Russell, Inc. ‘Will you stop kissing all the (f—ing) babies?’ He said. ‘You’re not running for public office.'”

I like it.  Wilson got kind of weird over the last several years.

A bunch of big name qbs become weirdos at they age — Rodgers, Brady, Newton. They make so much more and are so important that it does become hard for them to be one of the guys. 
 

that said, Wilson was always kind weird. He’s the guy who is asks the teacher for extra work, sits in the first row, and answers all the questions.

I think Russ rebounds and has a great year under Payton tbh

I'm somewhere in between "he's done" and "he'll be back to the old Russell Wilson."

People who didn't have the misfortune of watching every Broncos game last year (living in CO I did, just so I'd have something to talk about on Monday) probably can't comprehend exactly how effin awful Nathaniel Hackett was. Just incredibly unprepared on offense and special teams.

Wilson showed a little of the old flash late in the season and has looked leaner and more athletic in preseason so far. His main problem now: no one to throw too with a ton of injuries in the receiving corps.

Brutal, my apologies for your having gone through that. 

 

Last year was a continuation of Russ downwards turn but I think Payton is such a good coach he'll resurrect Russ, atleast to a point. 

Summation, he won't be terrible like he's been.

Weird and Corny. He almost forced this image that came off incredibly unbelievable and not genuine. He used to be one of my favorite players and yea idk what happened.

This is where I am. I think he can be serviceable to decent with a competent coach who is very good with scheming offense. Pre injuries I had the Broncos as a sneaky WC team, but it would be kind of impressive at this point given the hits they've had.

Payton is one of these gurus that has been trusted to run it all, and I don't think it goes well. 

 

Mike Holmgren in Cleveland

 

Joe Gibbs back to Washington

 

Mike Shanahan in Washington

 

Marv Levy as GM in Buffalo 

 

John Gruden in Vegas

 

Mike Ditka in New Orleans

 

 

Just these legendary figures that are trusted to run it all and have full power and control. 

 

Best I've seen is Parcells with the AFC East and Cowboys.

It is not talked about enough in terms of roster creation and streamlining a team how Parcells is the GOAT by a country mile. No one has done as many reclamation jobs with the success record he has.

Never been a Wilson fan, always thought he was the biggest fraud in the NFL. He's long been propped up by solid coaching defenses and run game.

 

I've enjoyed the watching him wrecIk his train. I expect more of the same until Payton pulls the plug. 

 

  Yea Wilson was just a better game manager that had a lil mobility so wasn't easy to sack.  He certainly wouldn't have won his SB without the legion of boom.  Oh and a good ground game.
