Me3 needs more attention

[Cyrus12]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Now its come out that Russ has claimed he had a grade 2 hamstring tear that he hid in the leadup to the Dallas game. He claims that he had it treated in private and felt as though he COULDNT tell the Giants staff about it.

NFL may investigate this.

Its disturbing on 2 fronts.

1. How could he have hid this from the Giants? Its not like you can just walk and run around with no signs of distress with that degree of a tear. And if they DID find out and didnt report it, heads are going to roll

2. This also smells like it could be Russ trying to spin his ineptitude into a mercy case of the old star heroically and selfessly putting his own health at risk to play through an injury that would sideline the average Joe... for the betterment of the team. As far fetched as that kind of strategy sounds, i wouldnt put it passed him given the decisions he has made in the past. And if this IS the case and an investigation leads to it being discovered he made the whole thing up.. i mean there has to be at least one living human being to definitively corroborate his story,... Russ's career might just be over for it. What a way to go out.

I think hes faking the entire thing for attention because his spotlight is gone. I hope he doesn't get a single call from an nfl team next year. Even based on talent alone there are over a 100 qb's out there that are better options so its doubtful.

Philip Rivers?

I'll take door number two.

That totally sounds like something he would do.

That play was a RPO play, he's supposed to read the defense and make
a change at the line if needed, of course he didn't.

No it wasnt. Carroll already debunked all that.

 

[Cyrus12]

Philip Rivers?

Yes he is better

 

[IndyHawk]

I don't believe everything Pete says because he coddled him.

Lynch said the same thing on club shay shay. Thay was all on pete and Bevell.
Not to mention, Browner called the play right before they ran it, and told the CB to bait him. They new it was coming. Yes RW threw the ball, but the play should have never been called in that situation.

You beat me to it. Everything he's doing screams political office run. He just better be ready for sharp questions about his Why Not You Foundation only spent 24 cents on the dollar for charity, well below industry standards. Outside of that, however, his slimy actions throughout his playing career makes him a perfect fit in politics, tbh.

Russell Wilson for president.

And Russ should have gone before him after 2018 and before his last contract. Schneider (who we hail now as a genius / exec of the year / expert player evaluator) didnt want to extend him and was looking at other options. Pete blocked it.

The irony here is that had Russ got his wish and Pete was let go, Schneider no doubt would have shipped Russ out along with him, probably as early as 2019. John was well passed believing in ME3's ability by the time he was finally allowed to trade him.

Which underscores the simple fact that two things can be true at once. Russ was incredible for a period. Unstoppable. and as the cast around him vanished and defenses figured out he couldnt effectively diagnose coverage, he became a liability.

Classic case of ones desire to hold high their hero players well beyond their expiration date impeding their ability to see the truth in their performance / decline.

Had Wilson gotten all he wished, both Schneider and Carroll would be gone. Sean Payton would be in.

And Russell would still have ended up in New York!

Enough will never be enough. I would like to think PC learned this lesson in Vegas this year, but he will certainly pop up again somewhere. As mentioned, it's like the Kardashians. Just...go...away. You had your time in the sun. Stop blocking it from the rest of us.
