RW3-and-out doing his thing...

[Ozzy]

In what universe can almost any QB carry a team deep into the playoffs with no running game or defense? Brady doesn’t have a SH without a top 8 defense if I’m not mistaken? It’s a team sport and it seems like we create these scenarios to show why Russ sucks when they apply to everyone.

How about the year Russ had 38 of our 39 touchdowns because we couldn’t run the ball and our defense was mediocre? Was it his fault we didn’t have a playoff win?

Edit: this sounded snarky when I read it but it’s not my intention, people are free to disagree!

The biggest reason I stopped talking about this subject a long time ago......people's blatant refusal to accept facts. I picture a little kid folding his arms and holding his fingers in his ears "la la la la"
Or rolling around on the ground having a tantrum. It was hilarious then, it's hilarious now.

Again hate on him all you want but prime Russ was so good. Was it unique and looked a little different than a Brady? Sure, but it doesn’t diminish how good he was.

Its because its cool to hate on Russ now. If he retires a seahawk and ends in Seahawks HOF, ppl will change again.

Yeah I’ll never understand it. I do understand being upset with how it ended but the revisionist history they Russ wasn’t great I will never understand.

...and Steelers fans are already booing him.

Had a long time Seahawks fan-friend actually say:

"I was actually rooting for Russ!".

I was like "WTF - are you crazy?!"

Um. Thanks, but - yea, NOPE.

My favorite is he only had a moon ball. Imagine how hard it would be to have his efficiency numbers and int % if you only had a moon ball? It’s so obviously false for obvious reasons but it gets repeated as if it’s a fact. Now for sure he’s different. He’s not going to complete a million passes over the middle. It wasn’t his strength but what he was good at he was near league best at and that’s ok too, Lamar and Brady play the game wildly different doesn’t mean the other is playing “wrong”
