Brett Favre on Russell Wilson: "There's a Reason Why Seattle Got Rid of Him" 

Brett, give the money back to the people of Mississippi

Wow. So everything is forgiven with Brett Favre?

Seattle was always trying to get o-line protection, and got dogged for bad play every year. He had his most sacks last year, and didn’t even play every game. I would imagine it would be hard to block for a QB that doesn’t hit his first read, rolls right, goes back left, spins, and then found Lockett or Baldwin who have already broke off their route. O-lineman don’t know where he goes, D-lineman watch him.

Seahawk fan boy here too: I do believe Russ needs to refocus, but I also believe he's still got a few good years left in him...

Wilson lost his focus after he married Ciara. He had issues beford that. He refused to use the wrist band with the plays, which resulted in many delay of game penalties. His height preveted him from throwing slants, and other over the middle passes, and defenses stacked the outside. He slowly lost his escapability, and took more sacks. After the trade, he became a prima donna. Denver gave him his own office, let him have his own QB coach on the facility. He got a reality check.

Jason, you've got something with that cast of characters. This is highly informative and entertaining. You need to bottle it up and give us more of it.

AM I the only one that sees that Favre is not clicking on all cylinders?

This is gold. I love hearing about sports from real people not just the culture war of sports all the time.

I've noticed a lot of the QB's that have come into the league since, let's say 2005'ish, have all tried to fire up their team the way Tom Brady would scream "Let's GOOO" while trotting onto the field!!! That wasn't Tom firing up his team, that was Tom firing up "Pycho Tom" as Skip calls him!!!

Jason, whatever it takes.... make this happen again.

Huge Force of Character with this crew. I could listen all day.

How is Brett Farve out here on Podcasts.. I thought Jason was critical of him or did I dream that ?

Brett seems like he’s on pain killers again 😅

Sadly, Brett sounds like he took one too many helmet hits

I thought Wilson played pretty well against the Raiders. Wilson is a pretty good QB. My take has always been that he is overpaid. However, I think a lot of NFL QBs are overpaid.

Reality is Russ, 5'9" tall, always thought of himself as 1st tier QB. So Russ and his agent concocted a lineman protection issue and threw them under the bus during the offseason. And then suggested a trade to 3 teams if Seahawks was interested in trading him. With aging skill erosion Seahawks seek the opportunity the following year to trade him to the gullible Broncos. A highway steal and the rest is history. Watching him today he is not the same QB. Because of potential injury he is unwilling to magically improvise and his throwing mechanics are all messed up. No longer stepping into throws with power but guiding the ball throws with his body. Because of his short height not too often does he throw over the middle. Pete Carroll is a genius!

Nonsense, Russell IS that positive. He may have strayed in the last few years + lost some humility, but he was unreal for the Seahawks for a decade. I believe Ciara is a big part of his demise.

Unlike most superstars I think Russ stopped believing his own hype which resulted in what we have here but make no mistake, the guy is has hard as nails, he's took hundreds of hits without injury and he definitely was one of the best, I think losing some of his running ability with age has also affected his skill set.

Coach Payton was saying in so many words that you have to sometimes be an asshole and get on your teammates about their performance. All of that "Gee wilickers Batman, we'll get em next time" nonsense isn't going to cut it.

Did Brett Favre clear up his scandal with the taking money from public assistance? I forgot he has the complexion for protection.

Soooo the volleyball stadium...... wtf is up Brett?! 😐😑

I think Sean Payton can probably read the pulse of the locker room and understand quite well that Wilson's teammates despise him. This is one of the first real honest conversations about this topic that I've heard. Nice going!

There is so much good wisdom coming out of this group. So happy I listened in.

The nerve of this guy

Brett Favre has his own issues. You didn't ask him about drug use, multiple sexual harassment complaints, or his recent charge of defrauding taxpayers through a fake charity.

Man this is a solid cast you got here.

Favre sounding like old Bill Clinton

Wilson looked pretty good today 👍👍

As a devout Seahawks fan, I can definitely attest, there's a darn good reason why we got rid of him!!!!

Way better than undisputed. I love these guys !

I’m a Steeler fan and we had a couple guys who were too concerned about their brand. Pete Carrol had to move to set an example.

Favre not in jail yet?

Brett Favre scared to really say anything on the show about anybody, They need someone else in his spot.

Jason’s the only one who will give Favre a platform after what he did 😂 Nonetheless, this round table of guys was actually done very well with Whitlock as the moderator

Man, i never thought about how the O-line treats their quarterback shows how they really view him and respect him. That's cool.

Warren Sapp & Brett Favre are great for conversations like this.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="316">5:16</a> The Seattle Seahawks loss in Super Bowl 49 vs New England, ending in turnover interception on one yard line, was the turning point in Russ' career and gradual decline from then until today.

I saw this live and it was a good ass show. Farve and sapp are gold

Jason. I may not be into the sports thing, but I love your shows. I love your style, outlook on life and your philosophy. You’re one of my favorites on The Blaze.

long time 12 here. This is what I have been saying since back in 2021 when he started his podcast. After every game he would do a podcast first half the season he was great but then as soon as he started that podcast he injured his finger and was never the same. Russell Wilson is more interested in his brand than any team he plays on. He's already got a ring and that's all he's worried about. He's paid he's set he doesn't care.

Russell catches a lot of heat but last time i checked he had more touchdown passes and less interceptions than Mahomes

Brett took a lot of hits in his career, and lived a hard life outside football. I live in Wisconsin, I heard plenty of stories about Brett’s carousing that never made it in the media. Warren Sapp probably put more hits on Brett than anyone. Brett looks in good shape physically.

Is Brett farve and alcoholic? Something seems off with him.

Nice group! Just need Ray Rice, OJ and Aaron Hernandez

The way Jason said Ciara.. he ain’t down with us, I know he exclusively likes white women. He really Uncle Ruckus 😂

Seahawks didn’t get rid of Russ he requested a trade Brett.

Never thought I’d see a podcast with Brett Favre and Warren Sapp. Amazing show!

Russell wilson is a solid dude. He is extremely corny but he is not a criminal and shouldn't have his character attacked.

Seth works out at my gym, I see him often. Cool dude, quiet.

I love this JW! Awesome setup you got here. WOW! B Farve I will never forget the year you took my Vikings to NO. Best game ever. Ya, it sucked that we lost, but it wasn't yer fault bud. You were BAD-ASS. Never forget it.

Coach Carol built Seattle Seahawks as a Run first team and Stout Defense. The QB is only meant to be a manager. Just like his teams at USC.

Love to watch former players disgust football , they know what's is happening ,where sports media does not, great show jason

Between coach Carol and Russell Wilson, the Seahawks were a good team and well respected for it. Wilson's performance seemed to rapidly decline the following season after he got married... The old winning energy and performance was lacking, I thought. His ball release was slower, he didn't scramble like in earlier seasons and seemed to be about a half beat too slow in the pocket. Disappointing.

Yes the same reason the Packers got rid of you Brett, you weren’t the same player and the drama started to catch up.

Good discussion!

I love the panel ❤

Anyone else miss the fact that Brett Favre seems a bit spacey and is just there slamming ice cream?

I liked this little round table thing. I’m worried about Favre. I dunno, but it seemed like he had some difficulties putting some thoughts together and his speech was a little off. Maybe I just misread him. He is one of my all time favorite QBs.

Sapp looks like a low budget Mr T. without the gold chains. I need a talk with his barber 😫😫😭

I think the Mississippi things needs to be settled before interviews like this

Man o man, Warren Sapp came in and broke it down, he made it look so good, great work

Is that a vintage tech album hanging from the wall in the back?!?! Lol

love this part of your show.🙂

Thank you for mentioning Ciara! Ever since that day, he films himself in bed at night with her, films her dancing in the house, films himself giving his mother a house, going on a date night and my favorite….running around the country chasing after Ciara, to supposedly “SURPRISE” her whatever she was doing. Was he just happily surprising her or checking up on her? So his QB duties were way back on the back back burner.

This is better than ESPN

Is this the sports-washing of Mr Farve's reputation?

Jason Whitlock ask Brett Favre when Mississippi can get that money back you stole?

great panel of great players

Russell Wilson has a jezebel spirit attached to him !

I love watching JW always have. He just keeps it real and I like him for it.

No argument here because Brett Favre is absolutely right. Because think about it after the seahawks won that superbowl in 2014 Russell Wilson has done nothing his career took a huge nose dive and has crashed and burned. So yeah I'm not a fan of Brett Favre and disagree with about 99% of the things he says but he's right about Russell Wilson.

YOU REALLY HAVE A THIEF ON THE PLATFORM

I’m from MS as well and much younger but Brett “Shaking hands and kissing babies” isn’t new age slang…😂

There's also a reason that other networks got rid of Jason Whitlock!

Brett is fried eating ice cream and drinking soda lmao

Escapibility was Russell Wilsons greatest strength but that's gone now he must be accurate a quality he never had Russ is going to ride right out of the NFL

Good discussion!!

I think the root of it all is that nobody can relate to a phony and because of that, Wilson will never have real chemistry with his teammates.

Didn't sean payton marry a saints cheerleader??? They dnt wnt the players messing wth the cheerleaders but a coach can marry one.......hmm!!

The super bowl they lost when our guy was in end zone for td and carroll picked a play that caused the loss. Could that also be part of the breakup?

Russ’ problems certainly started when he married that lady.

Brett doesn’t know what that means , how intelligent is Brett damn , there are questions .

Brett looks like he missed the semi formal memo.

He mispronounced Russell's wife name. An act of disrespect.

I'm glad that you all addressed the huge elephant 🐘 in the room regarding QB Wilson.

DID JASON TALK ABOUT WELFARE FRAUD ?

Brett give that money back this won't help your image 😢

Great foreshadowing for what happened to Wilson late in the season.

All of that "New Russel Wilson Brand" happened when he married a celebrity! From the day he married Sierra, he began to change... and not for the better! You are saying exacting what I'm saying as I'm writing it. He stopped being his grubby REAL self. He used to give his post- game interview in his sweats, his hair was messy and he looked like a football player. After his marriage, he started getting "pretty". He was using "Product" in his hair and wearing his "street clothes". When your Quarterback is walking a fashion show runway with his wife and kids, there is an ego you need to check. After he left, the locker room went back to being "REAL!". All the boys are coming out with THEIR TRUE FEELINGS and stories. He didn't blend. I'll NEVER FORGET what he did for our Seahawks.. not EVER. Having saird that, the best thing he did for Seattle was to leave. Our boyBs are back, bigger, smarter a😢nd YOUNGER. We have a whole locker room full of the "2012's "Russels". He came here as a talented, unappreciated rookie QB. Pete saw the magic in him... just like he's done for Seattle at The Draft! Do we miss Russel? No. But WE ALL still have a little love in our hearts loved him for doing what he did and what he brought with him. I think the "Let's Bash Russel" boat has sailed. Let's focus on this BRILLIANT YOUNG NEW TEAM we call The Seattle Seahawks!!💙💚💙💚 I door don't care WHAT THE PROS AND EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY!! We're gonna be the winningest, youngest, the most HUNGRY TEAM ON DA' BLOCK!! We're gonna kick tye Raven's butts! We're gonna kick the the 49ers butts and we're hit gonna stop kicking butts INTO THE SUPERBOWL BABY!! Say so the crap you can about Geno! He didn't, doesn't and don't care WHAT you all have to say... HE'S A BEAST! Look at him in that pocket! He's as cool and calm as if gets. So what he had a bad day at the office. So the F-What?? He's is OUR QUARTERBACK AND WE LOVE HIM! GO SEAHAWKS!!💙💚💙💚 ...

Favre nose is so red he might get a job with Santa

THIS is how you talk football.

Wow!!! Check out this panel. Didn't know Whitlock had pull like this. Go Whitlock!

So appreciate the wisdom of these guys. Old school character ethic. What a contrast to ESPN's symbolism over substance, it's empty personality ethic.

Message to Host: Black Conservatism Hate or Black Conservatism Self Hate (In your case).

Snack man strikes again 😂😂😂

WAIT!!!! HOW DA FUK NO ONE ASKED FARVE WHY HIS ASS STOLE ALL THAT MONEY?😒

Keep your chin up @BrettFavre. You and @WarrenSapp are the smartest men duo in this conversation. 🏆🧀🏈

always liked all 3 of these guys. well you too Jason. great discussion.

Damn you’re one of my favorite on the nightly news. Great addition to the Blaze but take off that Cowboys jersey lol😂

And now Denver wants to part ways with him too........ this is a trip to watch now and see what was already being said and seen
