Seahawks fan here. A part of me will always love Russ. That being said, it sucked watching him transform into a Rockstar/Diva type. He drank too much of his own kool-aid(with nano bubbles).
Ya it happened when he married Ciara
@@12thman75 EXACTLY! He was fine but he married the whoman who I'm sure poisoned his mind.
It’s strange to me that you’d be opposed to someone acting like a diva. It’s my understanding that most Seahawks players and nearly all of their fanbase has traditionally been gay, so that kind of behavior is par for the course.
@@danceyrselfkleen Sounds like you're homophobic... I'd seek some help for that.
@@aa-ze5cz not at all. It’s simply an objective fact.
Let's not forget Pete is solely responsible for making Russ one of the highest paid players in sports(put him in a position to obtain generational wealth). We saw how Russ looked first season away from Pete. We saw how Geno looked first year with Pete. This speaks volumes about Pete Carrol ..and the situation in whole volumes about Russell Wilson.
Especially given that Wilson was already very wealthy before he even started playing football.
“Generational wealth.”
Ugh.
@Christopher M. Heaps Really? I didn't know that, were his parents well off?
“Solely” is an exaggeration, Russ till had to put in the work.
@@ChristopherMHeapshis dad was a lawyer so they were wealthy in the broad view of the whole world but not even worth 1% of what Russ is now
People wonder why Seattle fans booed him
Rich gives an honest and well thought analysis of sports. I enjoy how he doesn't always have to be right, unlike Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless.
“That ‘open door’ should’ve been his locker…”
Heavy duty TRUTH.
And the media talks about Rodgers being a diva.
Well he is a diva. There can be more than one
He is a diva, so is Russ.
They're both divas but different kind. Aaron wants to be seen as the coolest dude ever. Russ wants to be Jesus
Most top flight athletes are divas.
Two things can be true
Russell Wilson's office situation in military terms is the lieutenant who doesn't eat, breathe, sleep, etc with the men (sergeants, corporals, privates) -- instead he'd prefer to be with the top brass
He reminds me of Lt. Sobel after being promoted to Capt. Sobel. Watch or read Band of Brothers to understand what I'm referring to.
What’s wrong with him having an office? 🤔🤷🏻♂️ He’s the QB and the leader of the team. I commend him for taking his job and his position so seriously. 🤷🏻♂️
@@johnbrowntheprophet he takes his brand seriously, not his job
@@johnbrowntheprophet I commend your sarcasm
That's every lt. Hell, officers and ncos are absolutely separate from lower enlisted. Not all the time, but it is actually a part of the military in order to enforce professionalism between the men and the leaders. But it doesn't work with russ because he's not supposed to be different. I understand what he thought the benefit would be, but perception is reality, and losing poisoned any chance of that going over well
Denver traded the farm and broke the bank for Wilson out of desperation after Rodgers snubbed them and they had already hired Hackett. The new ownership knew they had to make a splash signing at QB, so they were willing to give Wilson anything he wanted as he was the only brand-name veteran available and they had to save face with the fans. They were probably hoping that the regression he was already showing in Seattle when he arrived could be magically turned around by a first-time HC. It couldn't. Classic rookie owner move. Welcome to Walmart.
Wilson was traded in March 2022. New ownership didn't take over until August 2022 about 3 weeks before Wilson signed his extension. The announcement they were a going to take over happened in June. The new ownership is the ones who offered Wilson all the money, but they were not the ones who traded for him thinking the regression wasn't really happening. That was the previous owners.
Broncos are utterly pathetic
@@LdyVder Yes that's the timeline, people never let facts get in the way of a narrative.
Time to trade Russ to the Eagles for Jalen Hurts.
Well said. All I wanted from the Broncos for the past 8 years is a Vet HC that can put his foot down. Payton shooting down the office and Team 3 definitely gives me hope. Now we have to see results
Wilson became too big for his britches.
Too many Dangerwiches🤭🤭🤭
His britches are gigantic, tho'.
Pete’s success went to Russ’s head!
I've always said "In Pete and John We Trust." Never have I ever thought of saying (even though it rhymes) "In Russ We Truss." John built the team and Pete built the system that supported Russ and accentuated his strengths while masking his weaknesses.
I always thought that was a bit weird...
Actually Scot McCoughan built the team. He’s the guy who put it all together for Holmgren and Pete. Never gets the credit tho
@@skeezix8156 False. Schneider is responsible for the SB teams.
Brockman’s comment, “so the Broncos are going to be your new Raiders this year?” Mic drop!😂
started his career with one of the best defenses in NFL history
I loved Russ when he was getting 400k a year
as soon as he got paid paid I couldnt stand him
he took all the credit for that defense imo
Clearly Seattle made the right call lol
Let’s all remember that,Wilson PERSONALLY THREW AWAY A SUPER BOWL
LITERLLY threw one away
Was actually trying to forget that still..
my favourite play of all time. guy rode a great d to a title.
You can't reasonably place that loss solely at the feet of Wilson. If anything, he's about 20% culpable (at most). What the f\/ck was that playcall in that situation??
I agree, dumbest play call in history, especially with one timeout left. Lynch was running like a man possessed in that game, no one was stopping him from scoring there if they ran him, no one. If I remember correctly, Carrol and Lynch weren’t getting along and it was almost like Carrol wanted a pass play called to keep Lynch from getting the MVP of the game. I’ll never forget thinking that after that call, that’s how stupid I thought it was for Wilson to be passing there.
Russ certainly has a huge inflated ego for someone who wifed up one of Future’s 8 baby mamas 😂
💀
Hahaha
Lol who says this female owner doesnt know what shes doing? Seems the female owners are righting some tllting ships...nb Bengals for one. Let's not disparage them so quickly.
I'm really disappointed in Russ.
Russ carries himself like he's a middle school guidance counselor or something
Mmkay!
Who cares.
@@stefanharris659 Probably his teammates who are sick of the charades. Like Eisen quoted his "open door policy" should be his open locker.
More like PC Principal 😂
@@173jaSon371 get real dude
If Denver won 12 games, and Russ threw 30+ TD’s the office wouldn’t be an issue
Yea, and?
Nope. It's still an issue.
"if" lol he didnt tho
That could never ever work period
Annnnnnd??
If I looked like Adonis and was wealthy, I wouldn’t be sitting here at home reading RUclips comments this evening .
We’re discussing something that actually happened .
2nd floor or 1st floor he still threw like garbage.
What’s more fascinating is that we see Belicheck call out Brady for years but Russ doesn’t pay attention to that, instead he wants to be treated above everyone. What a humble guy he is. 🤣🤣🤣
He's not good enough without his legs. He solved a lot of problems with his legs and now he can't.
Rich is my fav, always fair, honest, respectful, funny n fun!
I don’t believe anything Wilson says, he ended up being quite the prima donna. We’re talking about a guy that if a teammate wants to get in touch with him, they have to go through Wilson’s agent to do so.
Russ should start a cookware product company, it would ironically do probably pretty well
What makes you think he doesn't already have one?
Ayesha can't cook either and she sells pots and pans.
RusselWare: "It starts off great but eventually whatever it touches just burns and ends up in the garbage."
@@thedarkemissary Are you Sisko? Sorry, just trying to interpret your name✌️🖖
As a denver fan I didn't care about the office. I just assumed he watched film at like 5 am and read the Bible
He's a millionaire, build a church in your own home ffs.
He needs to watch and read harder then!😂
I can’t believe the broncos allowed this, Wilson basically was in business for his self in a team sport.. 🤯
Russell Wilson really expects everyone to believe that everyone is lying? Riiiight
Remember the first week of the NFL when Seahawks fans were criticized for booing Russell Wilson that seems like 50 years ago
Despite it all he would have still been a hero in Seattle. Not anymore. You don't mess with Pete Carroll. As far as Seattle is concerned he might as well be Alex Rodriguez.
Yup my family has thought/said that same thing
Shut up… y’all were begging for Pete to get fired
@@Mr.Pip_ Geez, like every single fan has the same exact opinion
Good analogy w/A-Rod. Less so, how about when Shawn Kemp forced his way out ? Now, Shawn’s come back to Seattle & contributed to the community , but Russ, man, he burned it all down . I’m appreciative of his time in Seattle , but that being said , fu
@@gohawks3571 you were too. So stfu.
"I never wanted them fired" means he didn't "want" them to get fired, but he thought firing them was the move, so he tried to make it happen. If he didn't try to get them fired, he would have said "I never tried to get them fired," not, "I never wanted them fired."
...or "I will NEVER have them fired!"
But you're right. Context in the sentences you say carry a lot of weight.
I read it as "I didn't want them fired but would not have been upset if it happened though"
Pete was the one who drafted him and named him the starting qb as a rookie over Matt Flynn. Wilson owes so much to Pete. I don’t think any decent person including Wilson can be that kind of an ungrateful jerk.
Russell Wilson's the biggest POS in the NFL
Ya… the media doesn’t know crap.
Who really knows..... the ego is a powerful thing.
He was better than Flynn. I doubt he made it a ‘him or me’ situation. I’m sure he concluded that he couldn’t win with Pete anymore.
You don’t know Russell at all. Why are you assuming he isn’t the type of person to do that?
Everyone in Seattle knew Russ wanted out and that he pushed ownership to change coach and GM.
He really wanted Payton!
Sources?
Wilson stole millions from his charity and now this news comes out??? He has a LOT to answer for. 😠😠😠
@@justifiedFaith209 our neighborhood
@@ahaaha84 The hood? LOL
I followed Russ from his days playing at NCSU 🐺 here in North Carolina and can tell you success clearly went to his head. As much as he appears to be humble and appreciative he is not the same man he was back in the beginning.🧐
Correct & well said.
It has been a real strange evolution. Kinda like having a natural beauty getting plastic surgery to avoid aging. Starts out normal, then changes in a weird, unnecessary way...
And he shouldn't be the same man from college. Hopefully you are not either. Who is?
Jealousy and envy regarding office.
He changed when he married Ciara.
The contrast between the Dion story and Russ is perfect. Russ a lone wolf in sheep’s clothing.
A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king.
- Homer, The Iliad
As Broncos fan since 1984 the office doesn’t bother me, I am more concerned about Wilson’s people having free access to the facility. I think that was a bigger distraction than the office.
Yeah. I can see a lot or reasons a franchise QB would need an office. Mostly for charity work, and taking care of personal business without having to leave the facility. To conduct football business, like you are an assistant coach? idk. That sounds like a time bomb.
It’s been reported that Peyton Manning had an office when he was a Bronco. Nobody cares if the QB is successful!
@@broncosbest6441 Source? Lmao
Sorry....mcafee was ALL over team 3 being the problem like 18 month's ago...not surprisingly, first thing Payton did.....get team 3 the fk out of here
That comment about Deion Sanders being so sensitive about the chair arrangement in his first NFL Network talk show studio demonstrates EXACTLY why he's going to be a sensational HC at Colorado. Maybe the NFL some day. The man gets team dynamics at an organic level. You can't teach that.
Extremely high level of self awareness
Yeah Deion is that dude.
He won't be a good coach at CU. Don't believe the hype.
Will see. Dude couldn't even when the big game at Jackson State. Two years in a row with the best roster
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 *We"ll
I had respect for Russ till I watched this. Hope dude gets rolled next season.
Russ & Pete: Rear-View-Mirror issues…..Keep your eyes down range…..
While I believe there’s some exaggeration concerning the continuous Russell Wilson headlines, I do believe he’s someone that does sneaky stuff behind the scenes and hides his hands 💯
Hell's Kitchen for Russ. 😂
🔥🔥🔥
We may have to get used to stories like this. The media, and the modern NFL, worship the QB. Look at Deshawn Watson's guaranteed money. Lamar holding the franchise hostage. Their attitudes are understandable (but probably not conducive to winning ball games) and we have no one else to blame but ourselves.
TEAM 3 and OUT can shove it real deep! The 12s are glad to get rid of that arrogant short-line cook who forgot his recipes.
You was not saying that while he kept you in playoff contention
My guess is that over the last few years, Wilson has been a little too concerned with the Russell Wilson BRAND as opposed to just being a great player (which he was). I suspect he has surrounded himself with sycophants and yes men who never took him to task when needed. 2020 quickly proved that NFL defenses could figure out how to turn off Russ's oven, demonstrating Pete's previous offenses were better suited for Wilson. Wilson's poor performance where he had more input pretty much just shows he needs the classical coach/qb dynamic.
Oh, and it should also be noted that neither Rodgers nor Wilson have won a superbowl in almost a decade so their methods are not winning ones.
Media owes the Seahawks a apology, everyone thought they were crazy for not firing Pete Carroll and keeping Russ happy, they saw the cliff coming for Russ in the 2nd half of 2020.
I’m just imagining Russ as the Main character of “too many cooks” by adult swim, I think he’d fit.
Russ’s QB coach was the immortal flop Jake Heaps. That would be like a famous singer hiring Milli Vanilli as their voice coach.
Wilson's whole game came down to running around until one of his WR backdoored their way open. He was never able to sit in the pocket and read a defense consistently. Sometime I even wondered if he even knew the plays at all. Sandlot player not a real pro QB.
That so-called "sandlot player" currently has the fifth-highest passer rating of all-time.
GTFOH with these garbage takes. 😂
A lot of truth in your comment. As his athleticism has faded he has begun struggling since he never developed the pure pocket passer skills that would have carried him late into his career.
To not be a real pro QB he has a superbowl ring.
@@32roho You act like he is the sole reason he has that ring. Take away one of the best Defenses of all time and there's a really solid case that could be made the Hawks don't get a ring that year.
That's also coming from a Hawks fan.
@@nickiii2458 I agree, it’s a team win. I agree without LOB he may very well not have won that ring. But look at the 49ers this year when the had no real QB in the playoffs… they lost. I am just saying Russell isn’t that category to say he isn’t a real QB.
Bro. I've always heard nothing but good things about Deion Sanders. He's really a good dude.
It's easy to second guess a failure, but it's also hard to see what the upside for that office would have been
Seattle fans remembers Russ lying to us about not wanting to be traded when sports media got rumors that there are teams Russ would be willing to drop the no trade clause for. Turns out the one who leaked it to the press turned out to be his agent's office. He tries to play the nice guy, but he really is a two-faced diva after getting a taste of success.
Russ is a huge phony...🙄
His Seattle teammates pegged that years ago.
Trust what you see!🧐 Russ is washed & Denver fans will keep learning the hard way. (Life long Hawks fan)
Not too long ago, Russ was HoF material. He is frittering away his legacy and might not make it.
The talking heads (pot stirrer's) coronate rookies as future hall of famers after playing half a quarter in their first game.
Bailey Zappe HOF Class of 2038!!
Over one bad year really? Get real the rest of this is bullshit
Pete also said “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Russ.” Everyone and their mom keeps the slandering going.
That's called "Coach speak". Pete's not stupid, he knows full well a LOT of current Seattle fans are also Russ fans. Why would he alienate that much of the fan base?
@@randyrenner7643 Yeah, unlike Russ, Pete knows not to speak against the fans. 12 bathrooms🙄 Nice dissing of the fans that stood up for you for a decade...
@@randyrenner7643 he had them booing their asses of in week 1 though.
He didn't really say it wasn't true tho. He said "all anyone wanted was to win". Plenty of players can and more than likely have loved a coach and still want them fired because they're not winning.
"who the hell thought that was a good idea" obviously Denver did! Listen, you can blame the "athlete" all you want, but what exactly does being a executive and manager really mean? Do your job as a reporter, or is this just a gossip channel? Why are we just finding out about this "office" of Russell Wilson? Lets look at Denver and how they conduct business.
Wilson is a hypocrite and a traitor. Poor Broncos. Good riddance Seahawks.
This would be a non-factor if it were Mahomes, Brady, or Rogers. Don't blame Russ -- blame Denver and the coaches for letting it happen. Stop with the slow-roasted hyperbole.
"the slow-roasted hyperbole" great phrase and apt.
I really hope Russ plays bad this coming year. He wanted this coach. And if it doesn’t work. Well then his legacy will be gone.
You hope he sucks? Why so negative man?
What legacy, he's the most overrated QB in today's football.
It will be a very interesting year👍👍👍
@@gohawks3571 you’re a shitty fan. Russ is the best QB in the franchise’s history and you are hoping he sucks.
@@Mr.Pip_ dang dude, I just said it would be an interesting year. I am interested to see how he does with Payton, as a spectator. I have not discounted what we had with him. But was also glad he left because he got weird and didn't wanna be with us anymore. I mean, why should I want that?
Eisen is such a weird guy. “Too many cooks in the kitchen”🤯🤯🤯 do you get it???, cause russ wanted to cook but then there was too many cooks in the kitchen. It’s got like a double meaning, do you get it, just wow… mind blown lol.

Quick question, how many sb has pete won? And uhh how Many has sean won? Mhmmm and uhh sean can make any qb look good right? Well answers they both have 1 sb win, sean has made drew brees (who was already good) a hall of famer, he made jamis, teddy and taysom hill all look good. Pete made Russell look good (see his work in Seattle) and look how good Geno was this year. Hmm, yeah pretty even 🤔
Russ will come out doing good. Defenses will change and will go down hill.
The Mets could have signed Alex Rodriguez back in the day. But they didn't want to create a "24+1" culture in the clubhouse. It looks like the Broncos caught the bullet that the Mets dodged.
🙌🙌🙌. GO HAWKS 💯👌
Ciara broke Russ.
If russ can be coached, my Broncos will succeed.
If russ can't be coached, we have a great defense and a great coach.
Oh man, I am so sorry about that.
Ciara divafied Wilson.
Russell Wilson is what you call a Fugazi, a fake, a phony. He was never a great QB. He had a great defense and Marshawn Lynch and went to two Super Bowls. He should be admired for suckering the Broncos into the huge contract they gave him though. I do think though, that Sean Payton will come in and improve the situation, but the Broncos are going nowhere with russell in that division.
Dude...in his prime he was top 2 qbs in the NFL with Brady. You can't deny it. However, the saying "adversity doesn't build character it brings it out" seems appropriate. Maybe this was always in his makeup, who knows 🤷♂️
Too many cooks 🤣🤣
Connecting my own dots... lol
This sounds almost as deluded as Kyrie talking to the media like he was part of management for the Nets. Russ had no track record in Seattle that indicated he had any business being involved in the E Suite.
Soooooo many stories about guys from 13 Seahawks. Docus in 20 years are gonna be wild
They'll all be dead from PEDs by then.
Rosburg is a boss. As a Ravens fan, I always expect their special teams coordinator to become a great head coach. Denver should have hired him instead of Payton. Instead of throwing good money (and picks) after bad. Which is what bad ownership does.
Went from let russ cook to russ hell kitchen 😆
So broncos going to be your new raiders this year! Lol I love when he jabs rich lol
IF HE WOULD HGAVE WON MORE GAMES... The office and parking spot wouldn't be getting talked about. More QB'S would be getting offices.
Sean Payton will humble him!
This whole story reminds me of the BoJack Horseman bit with Neal McBeal and the muffins. Like, there’s got to be more important and better things to talk about. The Wilson era Seahawks are becoming the 08 Celtics, a team that should have been relegated to the dustbin of history, but you can’t escape it.
The rumor I heard was that _nobody_ liked Russ. Don't know if that can be fixed or not.
Man, the more that we learn about Russ the more we learn just what a despicable human being he is.
...we have no idea if this is even true...
Despicable. Lol.
Definitely a reach, and him connecting his own dots, because if they were winning, NOTHING would have been said. Alot of QB's had their own office and wasn't hounded the way Russ is. He's the NFL's punching bag right now and I get it, the ONLY way for it to stop is for him to start winning. Which I hate the position he is in because when he returns to his old self and starts playing better. Everyone is going to give Sean the credit and not Russ. Yes the Broncos needed the right plays called which Hackett's system wasn't Bronco's style nor Russ style of play. And yes, Sean will call the right plays for Russ but Sean won't be throwing for Russ or seeing who's open for Russ or even dodging sacks for Russ. 🤷🏾♂
Russ seems like the biggest Diva and fakest guy. Wonder how him n Payton work out. Too hard to get out that deal right away and Payton seems like he has HIGH demands also. SEA for sure seems better off without him
This is why I don't watch corporate media. For years they said Russ was this hero and amazing person. Now they are all acting like he's some evil vindictive fake person who everyone surrounding him hated. This proves NOTHING about Russell Wilson. What this does prove is how rotten our corporate media has become including the mega-RICH Eisen show.
This is the level the corporate media has sunk to these days? Glad I don't pay for pay TV anymore.
My God will this Hasbeen DIVA go away. Hes the Prince Harry of the NFL. Hes cooked and more hated now not just in Denver.but the entire League. May go down as the worst trade in NFL history.
Russ will face new coach Sean Payton now! We will see how these two giants players in sport work together! Can’t wait to see!😂😂😂
I don't think it is fair to all 32 teams that they have to pay a quarterback 200 to 300 million just so they can compete. Then build a team with a salary cap. It will only get worse. Pluss the quarterback could get injured any time. This could ruin the NFL.
Russ only cares about winning,the office is a big deal because his HC should’ve never had the job and completely blew the season. Mahommes only active QB with more SB appearances. Russ didn’t play great this year but this Denver offense is avg at best.
