The writer injects his idea that Russ will be on a short leash, but I think that would be the case no matter where he goes after his conduct and performance at Denver and the way he ended the season at Pittsburgh. Jobs will be harder and harder for him to find. Retirement seems likely sooner than later.

12s to NY Giants, to get the best of Russell Wilson, protect his fragile psyche by forbidding other players from critiquing him, and give him space by giving his own office away from the locker.

The title sounds like it’s about Russell but nabers isn’t talking about russ
But Nabors will eventually because he's not this tall WR that's
going to jump for balls only at the sideline like the ones from Pitt
or Denver.
He's saying that he going to run routes, get open and he better be
getting the ball.
I think you can see what he is pointing out or is going to be rather.

Nabors is a giant star though he’s more of a medium sized star
Nabors has no business, as he put it, spoke for all Giants WRs. When it comes to star power, Russell Wilson even at his diminished state, is still a bigger star than Nabors.

Nabors is a far better player and bigger star. Stop standing up for a backup QB. Nabors is probably the best skill player ME3 has played with besides Beast Mode

I dont know that its a huge story but its also not clickbait.

Russ has never been a guy to get a wr the ball with split second timing when the window is tight and there's just enough separation in the play, as designed, to make it work. He has always preferred holding the ball and waiting until HE feels good about throwing it, putting the onus on the wr's to scramble around to try to find an opening and stressing the O line. It makes for exciting play, but if i were a wr, honing my skill day-in and day-out to beat the guy across from me by any margin possible and there's the potential that all of that study, practice and work is for nothing because i'm not going to get the ball when i win, i wouldnt be so subtle in making my feelings known either.
By now, across three teams where he has worn out his welcome and proven a tendency to NOT get the ball out as the play dictates and when a wr is open, i am sure the word among the WR community as a whole is that Russ plays Russ ball and nothing else. This is more a preemptive warning that thats not going to fly in NY.
I dont see Russ being a starter for more than a game or few, if that. When the WR's you are throwing to dont believe that you can help them and the team excel, as a qb, your days are numbered.

Maybe time for Wilson to have all giants WR, TE in his personal training camp in Rancho Santa Fe? Wilson can probably round them all up in his private jet.
