Just from a social consciousness point-of-view, I am a little concerned about the guy on the upper-right.
I was reading some of the comments, and one theme is that ranting seems to be part of the guy's reputation, so he's probably right in his element nowadays. :laugh2:

What to make of Russell, there’s been a lot of love for him the past few days but is it warranted? As we’ve been reminded, Wilson should have 2 rings but since then he’s been pretty average. The super bowl Seahawks relied a great deal on Marshawn and the LOB but how much? Russ felt the Hags were holding him back but when they turned the offense over to him the results were underwhelming.
There’s something about Russ that rubs his teammates and fans the wrong way and I think there’s a segment who aren’t too broken up about him leaving. Everyone wants to blame Pete and the o line for their offensive woes but Russ has been hanging on to the ball for too long trying to hit a home run.
So, we’re gonna find out if Russ really belongs in the upper tier of qbs when he goes head to head with maybe the best qb division in football.

I expect him to come flying out of the gate but then levelling off. Your right about him holding onto the ball too long. But he will have a much better defense to help him in Denver. So he won't have to carry the team.

He is a bit of a Prima Donna thinking he should have won more Super Bowls by now. Its a ludicrous concept. During his first camp he wrote goals on a piece of paper. One was to win multiple Super bowls, another was to break all the passing records. Pete was immediately hooked and convinced that Russ was going to do it. But realistically isn't that every NFL players goals, or every kids goals that plays football? Is it really some unique concept? Its as if he thinks that it should have happened and since it hasn't it is Pete's and Schneider's fault. Even if he had the best team in football all of those years a lot has to go right for a team to win a SuperBowl. So, Russ seems a bit delusional about his grandeur and is a bit of a finger pointer. It will be interesting to see how long it takes before his camp starts leaking things to the press about him being unhappy with the coaching.

Here is something Cowherd said about Wilson. He said "I've had him on the show, and he's about as interesting as cardboard." Is he going to be able to have the charisma to carry the team through hard situations. Will they "rally" around him? Its not a given.

He doesn’t seem genuine to me and I think some of his LOB teammates felt the same. Any interview is painfully uninteresting and then, “go hawks”, maybe that’s just him, I don’t know but contrast that with the feelings the ram’s defenders seem to have for Stafford in a short period of time. The leaders of the team, guys like AD and Ramsey seem to love Matt Stafford and what he’s about. Of course, you don’t have to love everyone you play with but having their respect is important.

There’s nothing cutting edge or cool about Wilson. He’s an intelligent, hard working grinder in my book. He may be stiff and a bit of a teachers pet but give me 100 Wilsons over selfish media darlings like Tom Bratty and Jimmy G-string. Or over selfish pricks like Aaron Rodgers. Rams owned him but I think he’s still sniffing top 5 QB status on the right team.
