WATCH: This Russell Wilson Subway Commercial Will Make You Feel As Uncomfortable As You've Ever Felt

Full disclosure, I'm a long standing card holder of the anti-Russell Wilson fan club. I even actively rooted for him to strike out in spring training when he showed up to play for the Yankees years ba...

What was that. Even the physicality was off. Plus he sounded like a serial killer.

Just so awkward and creepy. Dude is NOT a natural pitchman.

For comparison, here’s Garopolos ad.

The only point here:. Wilson was paid millions to do this ad. The advertising folks have faith in Wilson to help sell sandwiches.

This is a parddy

Well, Jarrod Vogel was his predecessor. So there's that.

More from the one weird wonder...

I actually liked this version the most

Is his favorite sub pork belly with triple bacon and a boatload of mayonnaise?
He’s a lot chunkier and slower

A long time ago, he said 'The separation is in the preparation'. I think he gets distracted. He honestly reminds me of that Chef in Ratatouille. Selling everything, throwing cheap labels on it, whatever.

He really is exceptional at things that are hard for most other QBs. But if he isn't focused or committed you are going to get a shell of a a QB. Check out the reviews on the Russell Wilson Ball.

I still think we would be better off with him, but he has been a piece of work for some time.

It was clear when the Tate thing came up. And frankly, the moment there was a schism on the team with a pro-Russ side and a pro-Lynch side? If you don't like Marshawn Lynch something is wrong with you.

What a chatterbox! You could tell it wasn't Marshawn.

We need a RW sub-forum or sticky thread. It's mucking up the NFL Forum having all these RW threads.

Russ looks like a serial killer or something.
He's not a sales person obviously..
He needs to find something he's good at.

He was really really good at playing Peteball, he was the perfect Peteball Qb, bar none.

I thought the serial killer thing was going to be a big reach/exaggeration. This time, I actually do feel bad for him. The timing of this commercial coming out is terrible. He's going to get meme'd to death over this.

I wonder if the "director" of this train-wreck watched it back and was like "Yes! Nailed it!" More likely they were like "Screw it. This guy is a lost cause. That's a wrap."

 

[Ruminator]

This is what happens to people who have a hard time letting the experts do their jobs. Seems they just let Russ ad lib the whole thing and let him say whatever came to mind.
