Russ looking kind of out of shape? Should we be concerned?

Anyone who follows him on insta gram look at (what is currently) his second pic, where he is throwing football and you can see him from behind. Looks like he has quite the love handles.

Granted it is the middle of summer, the season starts in less than 2 months and I’ve never seen russ so seemingly out of shape.

Looks like his extended honeymoon did him no favors.

Most QB's look out of shape. Russ has looked this way almost every off season aside from one where he ended up looking like the Hulk. Having a little fat is seen as a protective measure for QBs. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

Last year he spent the whole season looking a bit chubby, nothing to worry about.

Speaking from my 75 years of personal experience, we all trend toward gaining a little weight or at the very least, "weight re-distribution" as we age. When I played back in the leather helmet days (almost) I was a 6-1/240-lb FB/MLB with a 32" waist, now I've shrunk to 6-0 but with a 38" waist at the exact same weight. Nature can be cruel that way as we age. RW is in his PRIME, right now and will be for several years or more, IMO. Go Hawks.

1) I wish I looked like that and people thought I was out of shape

3) His body is leaning Left. Makes it look pushy but likely to be muscles etc sticking out. Look at his back - dude is fit

Reminds me of hearing that some player was joking about Brady looking bloated in a recent photo with Gisele. It'll be fine for both of them. Matt Stafford isn't exactly ripped and he still slings it like no other.

did Matt ever lift a weight? Probably not.

Had wicked moobs in photos before his 2007 season, though - the one where he ripped it up without a running game.

(Side note: I spent several minutes trying to Google the pic in question before I realized that searches for shirtless men were not something I necessarily wanted my boss to see on my search history.)

This is definitely in contention for worst thread of 2018.

Russ is fine, looks strong.

There are a number of things to be concerned about as the Seahawks look to start a new season.

This is not one of them.

I thought Russ always had somewhat of a naturally flabby body? Lovehandles, boobs, etc.

Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean he's out of shape. It's just a genetic thing.
