Is Russell Wilson taking too much heat for Broncos issues this season? | NFL | SPEAK

“The defense was hot garbage” 😂😂😂

Wow Russ is having an okay season and he’s getting blamed? What about the management and Sean Payton?

I agree with Acho and JJ on this when they say that Russ is taking too much of the blame! I absolutely loved Achos comparisons of all the other QB’s making tons of money but not getting benched so why is Russell?!? Sean Payton showed his true colors when he went off on Russ a few weeks ago on national television. That’s precisely why he’s parting ways sadly 😢

Acho had a great take I can agree with.

Pretty bizarre how the Broncos are doing this when they're still in the playoff race. Their chances are slim as they're one loss away from elimination, but this sounds like a red flag move to me.

He is definitely being scapegoated

This show is a real sport intellectual talk, not a lot of unnecessary drama

The Denver season was over when the gave up 70 points and the O-line is trash. Russ isn’t the issue, Payton’s ego is in the way. They want him to give money back….dont do it.

Joy doesn't understand what it takes to play quarterback on a football team. She knows football but she doesn't understand the position.

Yes and no. Yes; because he got elite money and is not playing elite level. No; there's a lot of dysfunction in the building and we had no problem blaming the HC when it was Hackett. Why are we not going as Payton the same way? There's gotta be a deeper reason than just Russ/ Russ' contract as to why things aren't clicking with this team.

Acho still doesn’t understand statistics 🤦🏾‍♂️

So because Jalen Hurts has wins his stats doesn’t matter? He’s definitely not playing up to his contract, he got paid like a future MVP

Sean Peyton has to take some blame as well

The coach set up the pretext by screaming on Russ on the sidelines.

I liked it when joy didn’t talk that much

Why Don’t they get onto Sean Payton?

Joy is mad she was wrong with her take yesterday.

Acho gets an assigment to write a 500 word essay and writes 10,000 words to say 300 words worth of points.

Acho’s take was the best I’ve ever seen from him! Money doesn’t change you!!!

Acho just snapped w/ the Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert & Lamar Jackson comparisons because all of this is facts

I can't wait to see the Broncos flop next year. Like who does Sean think he's going to get that's exponentially better over the next 3 years

Acho take was BRILLIANT!!

Acho spittin' straight facts like fire 🔥 🏈🔥

Since "wins are a qb stat" then yes he is responsible. Acho only applies that when it fits his narrative

Payton's "5 year - 100 million dollar" plan, in 4 strategic steps: 1 - find a gullible owner: ✔ 2 - promise him the moon for 20 mil/y: ✔ 3 - Foolproof Y1, Y2 & Y3: A) play current QB, lay all blame at his feet: ✔ B) recruit/develop my own QB for the next 2 years. 4 - Foolproof Y4 & Y5: get all credit if success OR lay blame at the GM's feet if things don't pan out. Pretend to rebuild in Y4 & Y5

Acho Is Absolutely Correct! Joy Predicted The Raiders As Shown.

100% Payton came in to get rid of Russell Wilson. He's statistically the best QB in the division and he's getting benched is insane. If this doesn't scream Brian Flores and Tua to Joy she has lost all credibility. I normally fast forward when she starts talking anyways so I understand why I do that after hearing her squawking in this video. Payton came in to get rid of Russell Wilson, he was never his guy.

All sean had to do is wait one more year as a fox analyst 😂 and take that chargers job.

Russ has a 98 pass rating which puts Him top 10 in the league in regards to QB pass rating. Russ is not the problem.

Everyday we have to hear this lady talk about someone’s money.

Ah it’s funny how you acknowledge how the defense matters now, but when you bash Herbert and his historic numbers and play while having the worst defense 4 years running suddenly it’s all on him and that horrific defense doesn’t matter. He should win games in spite of horrific coaching and putrid defensive play. Acho can you say HYPOCRITE

Joy is right again!!!😊 Acho is always over-the-top!!!

I feel bad for Russ! At this point he just need to take his family to a nice vacation and worry about football next year!

Sean Payton been riding that one ring for almost 20 years… They treated Russ like trash even after he improved his play from last year. The Broncos are literally one game from the playoffs with a terrible defense

I don’t know if I agree Russ was playing consistently great football. There were many games that offense put up less than 20 points, sometimes against bad teams. And besides the Dolphin game, I don’t see the evidence of a good offense/ bad defense. The Dolphin game is making stats look weird. You take out the 726 yards and 11 TDs and make it an avg loss and the Denver D is much closer top 20.

So... Denver paid the bag, expecting Russ to be something he never was. Acho right about that.

When the eagles went on that 3 game losing streak joy didn't blame jalen she blamed everyone else for not putting him into position. Russ has no help

Huh so quarterback is the most valuable now since Purdy losing the mvp race 😮

He's getting so,much heat because of the expectations. That's it if he was paid 200million guaranteed i promise this conversation is completely different

That 2015 broncos defense was generational

It's a money thing with Russ, plain and simple. Not his play, just the huge contract he's playing under for a short time. The team needs to be able to build and be sustainable when he's gone

Let’s take a shot every time Shady says “better and better and better”

Acho’s take was phenomenally well spoken.

Acho ate with that opening take.

NFL is about MONEY!!! If an individual QB, in this case, Russ, or a team, in this case, the Broncos, it's about MONEY. Performance is not getting wins or revenue, and if Russ gets hurt, the organization doesn't want to pay Russ additional MONEY!!!! It's about MONEY!

Joy consistently has great takes, this one is no different. Her take on the Raiders about a month ago was brilliant. The other guys can learn from her approach to stats and logic and how she uses both in her analyses.

4 of Russell Wilson’s wins were by 3 points or less

I'm a die-hard Broncos fan, and while I think Russ is absolutely getting too much blame, his numbers are also definitely not showing the whole picture. Russ has moments. Like last week against the Patriots, he had 2 amazing drives to tie the game, but the rest of the game, he was not playing well, with seemingly zero pocket awareness, and poor decisions. Russ will give you a few great moments every game, but will never give you a full great game. The O-line for the Broncos has been pretty good this year too, with all 5 linemen not missing a game this year, and yet Russ still gets sacked a lot because he's holding on to the ball too long and trying to scramble instead of just stepping up in the pocket and letting it go. But even so, Russ does not have enough talent around him. Sutton has been his only reliable receiver this year with Patrick out again with injury. Jeudy has been mostly worthless, Mims has shown flashes, but also makes a lot of mistakes, and Dulcich is injured, leaving him with 2 JAG tight-ends. Javonte hasn't lived up to expectations coming off his injury, and Perine has been up and down. As for defense, it's also been up and down. The first 6 games, it was atrocious, then it shut down a lot of great teams for 5-6 games, and has fallen off again the past 2 games. I'd love to see Denver draft or go out and get some better receivers for Russ, and go get a great young pass rusher to shore up the defense a bit and see how Denver does, but that won't happen, since it's very clear Payton does not want Russ.

Thank you for confirming what I have been commenting; Broncos' offensive line & defense had issues b-4 Wilson signed with Broncos, Wilson should've never signed with Broncos. Aedin

No Joy we say it's on the QB and Coach so I understand the position and why doesn't Sean Payton say his salary should be prorated or based on W/L!!?

I don’t duck Acho but this was a good point

They're right. Russell Wilson is not the issue. He's the reason they won this year

I've been saying the same thing

Yeah, when you're salary is that big, your output needs to match the salary or your team is done for. So yes it's his fault.

Denver weapons are shaky simple as that. J.Williams is not the same from injury and wrs dont get seperation from they injuries too.

There’s no way we are going to gloss over how the Broncos defense was getting Russ n them in enemy territory and Russ couldn’t cash in over 65% of the time

I think Russ is done in Denver! Keep this in mind if they cut him after the season he will get 30 plus million; if he would to play and gets injured then he will recieve 85 million.

They traded two of their best defensive players - it’s not on Russ

These are the same people who wanted him benched for the EXACT same reason he’s being benched now when they were 1-5. Such hypocrisy

Everyone saying Russ is not the problem wouldn't take him for their team. He has been the problem continuing to go 3 and out. It affects the defense.

Super bowl russ wasn't making 30M a year. You have to play up to your contract. But the defense have been inconsistent the whole year.

When I watch the broncos this season there weren’t many points and it feels as if they need more points, it’s like telling a skinny kid to get some meat on there bones and that’s been the broncos problem for years

So we're acting like Russ is a good teammate now? This dude refused to read the room, and missed open receivers often. Good energy will keep you around longer than you should, but he never tried that. He always said "the right thing" and not being genuine. It's easy to make him the scapegoat from those actions.

Scapegoat oh yeah

Unfortunately this is an old school coaches, they change the quarterback on the team like his coaches tree bill parcel and bill Belichick both changed quarterback on teams they start coaching

is it on herbert?

Not one of these so called experts have watched any games this year. If you watch the offensive in- consistency, it's horrible.

It all went downhill once Acho finished

Acho owed this segment

The problem with comparing Super Bowl and 2023 Russell Wilson is the contracts. RW was playing on a third round rookie contract in 2013. He was taking up a fraction of the payroll and cap space that he is in Denver in 2023. RW was underpaid in 2013 and overpaid in 2023. Paying a QB 40 million dollars makes a Legion of Boom and a great running game virtually impossible🎉.

If the Broncos had Joe Flacco instead of Russell Wilson they would be a wild card team and have a lot of money to get players

Dude wasn’t the bronco just on like a 5 or 6 game win streak 😂😂😂

Acho’s stats forgot one major thing: salary. 2013 Salary was $525,000. 2023 Salary was $28,000,000. Guaranteed to be $39,000,000 next year. Russ’s performance doesn’t warrant a $20+ million salary.

1:49 Herbert isn’t getting paid yet. He signed his contract early. He is still on his Rookie contract, just like Tua, Burrow, Hurts. Outside of re-signing bonuses, the money comes later. But that still isn’t Russ. $85M in 2 years is top-top. Expensive players always have a target on their backs. And expensive 35 year old players have a bigger target on their backs. Jackson, Allen, Herbert, Hurts, Burrow have their careers ahead of them.

Payton makes the second highly paid, almost hall of fame HC that’s moving on from Russ even though he’s a functional qb. Says LOUDLY that Russ’ play isn’t worth the cost (in bs and money). Seahawks fans been saying that Russ can’t see the middle of the field.

26 and 8 stats isn’t noteworthy to be sign if he was on a different team. If he didn’t have that gigantic contract he would be a starter next year

This guy was saying russel should have been benched weeks ago and he was washed now hes acting likes hes been his biggest supporter

When Acho is saying Rus's stats are comparable to his Super Bowl year that's not a good thing in my opinion and I would also say they didn't sign him to get 2013 Rus because that wasn't even his peak/best year. I think it is more accurate to compare 2023 Rus to 2021 Rus since it's more recent you can get a better read of the situation and see where Rus truly is in his career. And I would say they signed him to get 2017-2020 Rus. As far as the blame goes I think he is getting too much but that's kind of the nature of the position and I also agree with James, I don 't think Sean wants Rus on the team anymore.

Joy missed the point when he acho used all the QBs as an example.

I really think Pete Carroll feels bad for Russ. They may have parted ways on a bad term, but Carroll cares about players-unlike this Sean Payton

I seriously cannot stand when Acho goes on with the same example but swaps out a person. Him saying it 20x with different names is so effing annoying

Joy knows ball🫡

I always fast forward to Shady. Acho and Joy are too much for me.

Broncos catfished the entire world saying they were one qb away. A bunch of JAGS on that team before Russ came in

Funny how nobody, not one person, is saying anything about how terrible the Chargers have been after giving Herb record breaking contract. And the chargers have a good defense on paper, way better then the broncos D. Nobody is saying anything about Herbert.

Acho on 🔥

Russ is great and does not play defense 😂😂 Shaun p EGO looking for sgoat😂😂

This show often misses the mark. It’s not blaming Russ or saying he’s bad so he should be benched. He hasn’t been great, they don’t see him as the future, if they don’t bench and cut him they’ll owe him money they don’t want to pay to a guy they don’t believe. Simple.

Russell also don't have elite players on that offense. The Broncos was awful when Russell came there. Russell picked a BAD TEAM to go to!!!!!🤨 Payton has a big EGO , and using Russell as the SCAPEGOAT, for some of his mistake out on the field. I agreed with Acho 100% Well Said my brother!!!👍

This chick talking is saying Russ got paid so he should be playing better. But Herbert is getting paid more then Russ and nobody is saying anything about Herbert. And Herbert has a way better defense

Go ahead and get rid of russ and join the pistons with the longest loosing streak ever. Sean is not bill parcels. Guarantee you will have a losing record for a long time after this.

Joy hasn't made sense in years. And this take was particularly bad.

Acho really compared Russ wins with a bunch of QBs that have been or got hurt this year lol. As a Denver fan, I hate how they are treating Russ, but I don't think he fits Paytons system. He's too off script and Payton wants someone that can open up his playbook and run the system.

The broncos don't have the DeMarcus Ware 2

james jones is on point this benching is fruit from a poisonous tree

Russell Wilson almost never executed the offense the way it was designed. Never threw the ball on time never made adjustments at the line of scrimmage. Russell Wilson never anticipated where the receivers would become open. Go back and watch the same plays and formations when Drew Brees ran this offense before you make a horrible misleading video like this shame on you.

Look at Joy, makin sense. Don’t totally disagree with Acho tho, aside from talkin about other people’s contracts who are clearly not in the situation Russ in, except maybe Herbert, and Murray.

Shady seem down lately💯 ( not a troll ) hope you good killa! God bless you!

I really don’t wanna hear that russ isn’t playing “elite” when every QB in the league not playing at they best when comparing Russ too the other QBs all his stats are top 10 which mean he been a top 10 Qb
