You still don't get it lol, when John63 said facts, he was referring what he said. Everything out of his mouth were facts in his opinion.
I'm a glutton for punishment. What is it they say about the definition of insanity?
“Never even get to another Super Bowl without a top 5 run game and a top 5 defense.”
Isn’t that more so a huge damning piece of evidence against John and PC more so than Russell? When has a QB ever won a super bowl by themselves? Haven’t the last I don’t know know, 30 SB winning Super Bowl QBs been aided by some other aspect of their team that was excellent?
Forget even the “top 5” qualifier of your statement. Did you expect Wilson to drag us ball and chain with the absolute dredge heap of a roster we’ve had for years? When PC “god of defense” was giving up record yardage and on pace to have the worst defense EVER two years in a row to start the season, you were honestly thinking “hey, RW better cut this sh*T out, I ain’t having this no more Super Bowl crap?”
What exactly are your qualifiers he is supposed to hit? At the very very least. He has never. And I mean never. Been on pace to be the worst QB EVER in a season. EVER.
It is amazing to me how a fan base can have such excitement that we actually had a good draft FINALLY in like 7 years, witness the absolute devoid of winning possibility as soon as RW walked out the door, and still reach deep down into the depths of idiocracy to blame RW cuz he was a bit of a weirdo.
Give any actually good, modern coach RW over the past 5 years, and I guarantee you they have more success with him then PC got out of him.
Dude, dredge heap of a roster??
An indictment of PC and JS that their qb needs a top running game and defense to succeed? Maybe in that they should never have sold the farm to keep a player with that kind of limitation, sure.
One, there may be a reason we don't have a ton of cash to throw around guven the amount of cash being paid to a qb who's game is freelancing and can't be traditionally scripted to.
But dredge heap of a roster? We've had a top 5 to 10 rushing attack by YPC for the majority of the last 6 years.
We sent the 2nd most number of players to the prowbowl in 2020.
Russ has had a solid run game that he'd refused to utilize because it takes away from his spotlight, and talent on offense between DK, Tyler and the rest that should have netted far more than it did. Don't agree? Ask DK why it was he was so frustrated last year.
I swear I wish All22 was free for everyone. It's not a 'take' that Russ was limited, pretty significantly in his ability to run a traditional, call it, read it, execute it offense. It's not him. The evidence (his own play) and the fact that he's churned through 3 coordinators and done the exact same thing is evidence that he plays how he plays and that that play is, for better or worse, what has netted us the results we've had on offense.
Could the defense have been better sure. Was it Pete running the defense? No. KN was the guy with his finger at the controls. Shoukd Pete have let him go before? Absolutley. Is that his bad? Absolutkey. In the same way he shouldn't have tolerated the oft poor execution at qb.
It's AMAZING to me that folks can judge Russ play... literally this whole offense, based on how a play ended, because Russ fabricated something when it Looked like there was nothing there. It's true, you can watch a play and if it ends in a spectacular TD, celebrate and judge it a success. But if you look deeper and assess a given play or player on the step by step process theyhave to go through to achieve the designed success, I'd bet my life, Russ wouldn't look nearly as good.
Hes a player who has failed to make a presnap adjustment , a presnap read, at times, make the right throw or post snap adjustment to hit the designed open wr. ... and still managed to make the play work.
Step by step, he could grade F's consistently and still net a positive based on his talent. But that's not sustainable now and never has been. And the dredge of an offense and it performance was as much a result of that fact as anything else. As soon as there wasn't the eraser of a RB to mask the deficiencies and the defense couldn't repeatedly hand over a short field and multiple opportunities, the offense was toast.
