Russ will never be any good in some people's eyes because he doesn't look or play the position the way the usual suspects (Rodgers, Brady, etc., etc.) do. It's been said a thousand times--he doesn't play in a system that those other quarterbacks play in. Yet he still manages to do amazingly well. Like it or not, it's Pete Carroll's team and regardless of any new offensive coordinator, he will still have a big hand in how this offense operates.
Russ, unfortunately, will never really get his due until he lights it up like those other quarterbacks--that seems to be the only time the media pays any attention to him (contract issues and tantrums don't count). Playing in Seattle of course doesn't help--no offense meant to Seattle.
It is what it is at this point in his career.
