Problem between Russell and Doug??

[jake206]

Not sure what to make of this...thought I'd bring it up though.

From Doug Baldwin Jr. twitter account:

Doug Baldwin Jr @DougBaldwinJr · 8h
I’m blessed to be in the position I am as a professional athlete and role model to younger kids. Wasn’t too long ago I was a kid dreaming…

Doug Baldwin Jr @DougBaldwinJr · 8h
… But for the person I am and what I believe in, I will not be robotic in what I display as my “brand.” I will not be fake as some are.

Doug Baldwin Jr @DougBaldwinJr · 8h
I want kids to look at me and say “He’s real. He’s genuine. He is not just trying to make his ‘brand’ look good” …

Doug Baldwin Jr @DougBaldwinJr · 8h
Humility is a real thing. But some fake it really well for their own gain. That to me is more sinister than anything in this business.

Where do you get that that has anything to do with Wilson?

...Seriously? sounds like one of Doug's patented rants.

 

[Scottemojo]

All I got from that is that the OP thinks Russell is a fraud.

Really?

To be fair to the OP. Many people replied asking if it was Russ in the tweets. ADB responded to many questions and replies. He didn't reply to a single person asking if it was Russ.

Well if there is heat, the first to go would be DB, not RW.

So everyone thinks Russ is a fruad?

awwwwwwwwwwwwwkward.

I Think they think Doug thinks so. I think Doug using robot and brand with kids (while Russ is doing his camp) is where people draw the connection. I think the fact that Doug took the time to reply to various comments in his tweets but not dispute the notion that it was RW is suspicious.

 

[Hawkboi]

Has nothing to do with RW don't make stuff up!!!

 

[Evil_Shenanigans]

Seems a bit of a reach to me.

Well, don't hold out on us. What else did Doug tell you?

 

[Hawknballs]

So while Russ had dedicated his off season to running his camp, visiting hospitals, and helping kids, Doug is calling him a disingenuous fraud? That sounds way more disparaging of Doug than it does Wilson.

 

[Trenchbroom]

Even if he is talking about Russ (and I think it's probable)...who cares? One throws the ball, the other catches the ball. As long as they are on the same page while on the field I couldn't care less if they don't like each other off of it.

 

[AbsolutNET]

There's a problem between Doug and every single person on the face of the planet...

just win football games (ymmv).

 

[Mtjhoyas]

I read the tweets last night and thought the exact same thing. I know we are in the slow season of football news, but I couldn't help but think, "wow, that sounds like a shot at RW." Not to mention, there was some other twitter ramblings earlier from a few folks accusing RW of being a fraud at his camps, etc.

I'd really like to give Doug the benefit of the doubt on this, but honestly, it is really hard (for me) to not connect a few dots on this. I've always thought that Doug did not like RW and it's not-so-subtle things like this that kind of reinforce that thought (to me).

[OkieHawk]

I hate the offseason.

If there is anything to clear up it will be done behind closed doors. He needs to clarify nothing to the fans imo.
