Is the Russell Wilson deal the worst in football history? | Get Up

you're giving up $250 million before you snap for a team, you're expected to play better than them and you need to play better than Russell Wilson. He's fine, you saw it and it trended again immediately. Mike Purcell yelling at Russell Wilson on the field as the Broncos lose their horrible offense again here they asked Wilson about it after the game now they aren't winning and if their offense was doing anything they would be RC you make an interesting look, the body language is fascinating, wow guys, like I told you, okay, off season, out of season, everyone, no, this is not for you, this is for the public, this is not for you, off season, everyone in my DMs, Black America was just disgusted.

Yo, why would you tear down another black man and tell him he's not going to take you to the Super Bowl? I told you I didn't lie. I heard when we looked at Russell Wilson and what he was able to do in Seattle. Never a year where we tell ourselves that Russell Wilson is the best quarterback in

football

and there was a time when I played against him at the 14 that night and I thought he was. There was never a time when Russell Wilson was transcendent of what a team could. be or what a team could do, there was never a time where he ran an offense and I said coming into this season plugging Russell Wilson into Denver doesn't mean they have a Super Bowl ready offense, well guys, it doesn't even They have a winning team offense.

You don't even have a team that can compete offensively in the AFC West. They could probably compete in the AFC South and that's why you see this kind of energy. I say it all the time to my children and my wife, expectations are the highest. breeding ground for disappointment, everything was good last year because you didn't expect to be good when you got Russell Wilson and he took the photo in front of his truck in his own jersey. When you arrived at training camp, you thought everyone in the stands would do it. Wearing that shirt now also makes people want to burn them like when LeBron took his talent to South Beach.

This offense if it was average this team would be a playoff contender and they can't even do that with the 250 million dollar man I think. The problem is that Russell Wilson went to Mile High but he didn't take his talents with him, he left them in Seattle. I think they would be very happy if this was like when LeBron went to South Beach even though they fell short in the championship the first year there was an immediate impact the problem is part of this problem is that their defense is so good I think that creates resentment, they are looking at Russell Wilson the same way the Jets look at Zach Wilson and that is not a good place to be when you are financially committed to Russell in a way that they are not committed to Zach, so this is a big problem.

Look, two coaches are going to be fired in Denver before they are going to resign Russell Wilson in his situation, the new owner came in and gave him a quarter of a billion dollar contract, it was the first thing they did, they won't give up defeated with Russell for a long time considering the contract. and you consider everything they traded to get it. I mean, I'm seeing the words "

worst

trade ever" all over the internet right now. It feels that way because the things that hindered this offense and Russell's performance in the first month of the season could be blamed on the novelty not improving.

There is still this significant struggle to operate simple plays versus simple defenses. This offense scored 14 touchdowns and 128 possessions, which is the

worst

rate in the NFL in the last decade. The Cleveland Browns got Owen 16. over the course of that decade, think about how bad you have to be offensively to do that and this is where Denver is, from what Dom says, they have a Super Bowl caliber defense, so that they can't sit here and say, well, let's just go. to get rid of the quarterback, sit there and say we made the mistake and eat up the salary cap issue because then you get rid of all that young talent on defense that can win you a ton of games.

I have no idea what the Broncos are going to do. They're obviously going to move on from Nathaniel Hackett and that's disappointing because I think he's a very good coach and right now it's like they have to go with the quarterback because of finances but they don't feel like that's the right decision for Que. keep going with the way they've played this year, I mean, and they've literally only scored 20 points twice all season. That question at the bottom of the screen is not hyperbole, it is not pleasant, but it is the reality of the situation that is felt.

As bad a

deal
