The Real Reason the Broncos Benched Russell Wilson 

Not that hard with that contract.

Mahomes got more money and is crying on the sidelines and to the refs??? Apparently it's not that easy huh? Always gotta hate.@@Steve-yu5pf

@@Steve-yu5pf I hate like yall are acting like Russ is this evil person lol, this is the same man that went to the seattle children's hospital every wednesday.

@@nosir7882 I know nothing about him as a person, my point is that contract rarely produces the desired outcome. Also no act of kindness is ever wasted.

​. True. He seems like a good dude. Not his fault a team came throwing money at him. What was he supposed to say? Na. Seattle don't want me don't waste that much money on me when you can get me cheaper 😂

"Let's ride!" "Ugh..."

It supplanted have the "time of our lives"

Apology accepted Sincerely, a Seahawks fan

It'll live up there along with, "How about 'dem boyz!!!" xD

Broncos country, go cry 😂

I couldn’t agree more. Russ became so unbearable in those later years as a Seahawk. I was still sad to see him go, because he is a good person, but fame and money (and Ciara) really tainted his legacy at Seattle.

@@corbinrasmussen Apologies...for what? You got how many draft picks from us? The ones who got fleeced don't need to apologize.

@@reidgrandchamp774y’all were massive dickheads about the trade lmao. Perna was the worst. We’ve enjoyed your suffering. The apology clears the air.

Rams & 9ers are still the Seachickens Daddy's even with all those picks

2019??? Russ was amazing that year.

Forget him he wanted to leave and wanted to replace Pete with Sean who coincidentally never liked Russ that’s what he gets for not having loyalty

​​@@PoopythePlumber😂 litgle bro is getting emotional calm down

⁠​⁠@@PoopythePlumberSean Peyton came out of retirement to coach Russ. Where did you find your sources? There’s quite a few things you could say about Russ but that is straight up fan fiction bro.

He shit on you and me and the rest of the fanbase on his way out. 3 was on track to be up in the rafters of CLink...but now, fuck that fake ass dude.

@@PoopythePlumbertbh anyone would rather have Sean Payton instead of Pete. Whether they like you or not

The management is at fault when they overpay. It's not the player's fault for being overpaid. The problem of course with overpaying one player is that means you don't have the cap room to pay someone else.

Exactly. Lol. No o e ever blames the management or the owners.

That's a great point. You pay someone based on potential. In that sense, players can't be "overpaid" but they can under perform.

I have had this argument so many times. Like the entire point of any job is to get paid as much as you can before you’re out. Why would these guys be any different? Especially in a career that has such a limited amount of time to get paid.

Tom Brady never did this and it paid off for him in the end.

It wont be missed, trust me!

Yeah it really won't

No more Let's ride

"Pizza, pizza pizza!"

As a non bronco fan I would say it will be hella missed. Fun to watch!

The draft picks were pretty nice though

Damn y’all still get burned by the niners lol

Just to have the same record as the Broncos lol.

Same here I can't say I told you so loud enough every time players get gigantic contracts its over they stop playing they do okay but they got the money screw the rest Wilson was certainly no different his ego was bigger then his skills

What I like about Russell's game is that he's magical. That's why you come to the game to see. It's great to have a Quarterback that has his qualities. Stidham didn't do anything magical against the Chargers. He was really latargic if you ask my honest opinion. His touchdown pass was bad tackling more than anything. Take nothing away from him, but Stidham wasn't that spark that Payton talked about.

Add 2 to that you'd have the amount of wins my Patriots got this year which isn't a lot but it's not weird it happened 😂

I fucking hate this meme. Not only is it incredibly unoriginal, it's pretty dumb, and unexplanatory.

​@Earthboundmike So?... The meme was original on Phineas & Ferb, and it happens to correlate with an everyday situation

Russ' decline came when he started caring about Team Wilson more than he cared about the actual football team he was on.

dude, shut the heck up, bashing a QB that won it all when he is not the problem is pathetic...the hawks and broncos identity was defense and running the ball...but poor drafts ruined both teams...

​@@JUDALATIONhe won it on the back of the Lob

Ungratefully fanbase who went to 2 Super bowls with this guys "quirks". Giving you the ONLY championship you EVER got and may EVER get because your organization is mid at best. Teams who think like your team thinks run with Geno Smith at QB and miss the playoffs most seasons. You deserve losing for your ungrateful nature and complete lack of respect for the players who got you to the highest places. Russ on a contract vs Russ on a rookie contract is not how you look at players. You do not win that Super Bowl or compete for them at all without Russ and never did you win before or since without him. You had one lucky season where a great coach got you in with a Hasselbeck but Russ was the only QB you ever had that gave you a chance to win a championship and you started shitting on him over and over and over until you ran him out of town . This completely FAKE idea that somehow Russ is to blame for the Broncos making no showing this season is BS . I am not a fan of this franchise either as I follow a good franchise in the Packers. However i scout football and because I watch Russ in college in my home state I saw Russ in his college prime destroy everyone at that level. Russ was AMAZING and is one of the best throwers of the football in the history of the game. The Broncos benched him does not hold amazing meaning until it does . This might mean NOTHING . You being mad that you had to pay the guy who took you all the way twice is why your franchise will never win by design and will have to wait to LUCK into another 4th round QB who saves your franchise. Fans like you suck . You see the game in a way that is killing sports and I am assuming you also believe William Thomas is a woman and deserves to compete against women in their sport.

@@JUDALATIONhe literally had one of the best defences of all time what are you saying

Well put. He’s always there to get beat in the first round

Dude's been coasting off the SB onside kick for 15 years.

As a Jets fan, I heard SP's name was being tossed around when Adam Gase was fired but I always wondered WHY??? He won a Super Bowl a decade ago (at the time Gase got fired...) and always choked in the playoffs after that....

McCarthy and Tomlin

He didn’t play QB well either

@@InUteroKDC Tell me you don't watch football without telling me you don't watch football.

@@aaron-nWell you are right so is the other guy Sean should be on the hot seat but sadly Russ is to old for his style

Sean Payton has not been the answer. I wish they would ship him out as well. He’s is also a has been. He literally has helped the other team several times this year with his stupid timeouts and mental mistakes.

@@SeanPageDrummer lmao you don’t know football. Payton isn’t even running the offensive scheme he wants to, because Russ can’t run it, can’t play on time.

Facts

$50 Million contract and he failed. But, as a 35 years old Man, he acted like an adult so it's all good. Got it.

@@The-Contractorthat means he’s better than mahomes, right? right?!?!

@@stonedwall With a media mic in front of him, yeah. The issue is, he's entirely fake and basically running a script out there. Yeah, he's cool headed and composed, but even to his teammates he's a fake person. Honestly, that's the worst type of person in my opinion, beyond the sport and on a personal level. That said, we only see them in the media so it is nice to see him always sounding positive and mature for the cameras, so he's harder to hate than someone like Mahomes after his little outburst.

He kept it behind closed doors, not like in Seattle

Neither have we

As a Commanders fan I say Hold My Beer!

You guys need to trade back Drew Lock and give him a real chance. The dude did well in that comeback win and showed that swag.

Bro EXACTLY

he literally had 0 TDs and 70 yards up until that drive, actually watch the game next time.@@AR9Legend

$50 million contract, he hasn't performed and has caught some heat. But he's not making a scene so it's all good. Got it.

@@The-Contractor Cry about it

When you show up and get that contract, have your own office, You probably shouldn’t suck @ss

@@thomaskaley70 Got **Boo-Boo** on your feelings?

​@@The-Contractorstop blaming Russ. Teams trash as a whole and y'all want to blame 1 person

Very very well said

Sean Payton is a great coach and his history and tape speaks for itself, he's just not a great Russell Wilson coach. He needs a regular pocket passing QB with a normal personality, which Russ is not. Payton is making a good move here by cutting it off now so he can win in the future.

Cardinals fans feel the same with Kyler Murray after their playoff blowout loss last year and then a bloated contract followed by ACL injury.

@@lemmyelk Pairing Payton with Wilson felt like an attempt to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Russ was an egotistical and limited QB. Seattle did well in hiding all the issues just like a car salesmen having to sell a lemon. It's like selling a BMW with 100k to someone who really wants one on the cheap. Broncos were trying to force history and were hoping Russ would be another Peyton Manning.

I knew it would not them in the ass

That's not seans problem. They brought him here to fix it. He's in the process of that.

Yeh I mean Sean doesn't use Mclaughlin and he's got 5.6 yards per carry and Williams has 3.6 yards per carry. It's a team problem but no one will say that

​@@kudosayala4943 Sean Payton is not the one to be rebuilding a franchise he's NOT good for that at all.

Payton been there one year. Russ two. There’s no fkn way Payton deserves more fault than russ

I'm another that came for the schadenfreude and stayed for the schadenfreude.

Same. Came to follow the debacle that became Russ, and stayed for the hilarious, on-point commentary. It's a great channel, I think.

Add me to the list!!

🎯

I wonder how Flacco would do in Paytons system. As a Bronco fan, it's cool to see Flacco doing good but I wish they could have found that when he was here. RW is most likely gone but who's his replacement long term? I'm sure they will have a backup plan once he's gone. It won't be Stidham. He'll have a couple good games and get hopes up then fall apart as the season goes.... Back to reality.

I love Russ, which he was my QB for the Jets. I don't mind seeing him as a G-Men

@@pa.encema2821huh?!?

He seems like a good dude. I was rooting for him and I'm not a fan(nor hater)

Yeah after the Private Office and Other crap he pulled over the past 2 years he can take his Ego and shove off

@@devildolphin2102 They don't understand how much that effected the team, even Marshawn Lynch talked about that type of behavior being disruptive in Seattle.

Couldn't agree more. Pernas is what ESPN was when I was a kid but it's garbage now. Only found him cause I'm a Seahawks fan and the Wilson trade happened. Great channel!!

No they aren't, he is a bitter old man with delusional toughts of greatness but actually knows nothing outside of the box about the game, just the basics he learned from said ACTUAL jornalists.

@@Nobody-su9km yet here you are supporting his channel by clicking on his videos and leaving comments

​@Nobody-su9km lmfao you are way off. This channel is hands down the best entertaining sports channel on RU-vid. Is he the most knowledgeable of all the channels? No, but he has some good insights and can tell it better than anyone out there so far.

Only thing perna is wrong about here is his Ryan stiles take. That man and Colin mochrie carried that show!

Naw russ is staying u delusional if u think otherwise 😂

@@austingonzales3948lets hope not both of these guys are bad

@@eddiecastro8227 you know russ is staying at least one more year I already feel it

​@@austingonzales3948.....GOOD GAWD, DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPEAK!!!!! JUST WHAT IS WRONG WIT CHU MATE!!!!

As long as he doesn't make russ money.

I will miss the “the worst worst worst………….game ever” from this channel. Broncos have it bad.

So 2015 Peyton Manning didn't exist?

With a new qb anything is possible

not, it isn't the only thing this swap made possible is they actually losing to the chargers now.@@D_Corleone

@@Nobody-su9km I mean we have a 6% chance to do anything i rather look foward to next years team hopefully with a new young Qb who can play

Those are solid numbers for a QB, how come the broncos can't win.

True, but Flacco has now come to the table

Tell it to his former teammates.

nah we just claim him in free agency and laugh at the broncos fans. Or he goes to new york.

@@michaelphillips8043that’s the only title y’all win this szn

Usually it wouldn't? All Seattle did was win for a decade with Russ. Look at his record in Seattle.

@@vadenk4433 my dude: I live in Seattle. I’m a Seahawks fan. When we started paying Russ more than the defense that won those games and got a revolving door at RB, we were often winning games in spite of Russ rather than because of him. So…yeah

@@DawnstealerGamingexactly bro like don’t get me wrong I will always appreciate what Russ did for the Seahawks but once it became “Russell’s team” that’s when everything changed

Sadly, Russ cant see over his o-line.

that same defense went to 2 straight 7-9 seasons before he came along, that same D was madeup of problem childs and convicted crimminals, that D was nothing witouth Russ and neither was mediocre Marshawn, Marshawn was a joke that entire seattle team was a joke before Russ and Bobby came in 2012 and team INSTANTLY went from 7 wins to 12, stop the cap, you love to create drama and media talks, but the numbers tell a very different story, winningest QB through first 9 seasons in history took seattle to the 2nd winningest franchise in the last decade and turned the whole team around, never talked sht on anybody, never complained never said anything y'all don't deserve the greatness he was both on and off the field 12IQs fanbase.@@DawnstealerGaming

This just in! QBs play well when Oline does their job! More at 11

Stats don’t win games

⁠​⁠​⁠@@timjones147True, but what’s the point? If we’re going by wins, Russ is 11-19 as the Broncos QB. 17-27 over his last three, 29-31 over his last 4 (though I feel like citing his last two years with the Seahawks is way more irrelevant than his season stats). Statistics don’t win games, but they are a record of a player’s production, and the sad fact for Russell is that he just isn’t that productive anymore. The best case that he hasn’t declined is that he still leads the NFL in 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives (with 4), but I think many Broncos fans would argue that they wouldn’t have needed him to have those comebacks if the offense would have produced more earlier in the game.

Your trippin what run game we always get stuffed 😂

That's Play Calling... he's only given either screens or Hailmary type plays.

Broncos RB is rated low 20s wtf are you actually talking about?

1: The legion of boom bailed Russell out many times. 2: there's Russell before he got a contract and married, vs a paid and laid Russell

Well if anything I have seen over the years. He is great throwing to the sidelines and down the sidelines. Anything over his offensive line and he is plain shit. It got worse as he got older, and his mobility started to go.

@bigmackdaddy101 I still remember getting criticized on YT When I mentioned that Andrew Luck was better than Russell Wilson and I was called a racist for thinking that way lol. Russell isn't horrible in my opinion. I just didn't think he was elite the way others were saying just because he went to 2 SB vs Lucks 0

​@@Outlaw8908Russell had damn there an MVP year just a few years ago. He threw over 4200 yards with a QB rating of 105 with a bad run game and a trash defensive line that was ranked 28th that year. Come on everybody knows what's going on with Russ, his Toxic marriage with Ciara and losing his Sports therapist he had been working with since he came into the league the dude died before his first start with the broncos but dudes a bum. Please Russ has a higher career QB rating than Tom Brady who is at 97.2. get the living fuck outta here.

@@judiehendershot4473the legion of boom was also the reason the Seahawks lost the superbowl

I don't trust the NFL anymore. All the bad calls have gotten worse this year and many teams have lost games because of it. There is no accountability with the referees because they are doing exactly what the NFL wants them to do. This NFL sucks!

Russell hasn't been great but the Offensive line is AWFUL and The WR's aren't very good either....... Does Sean Payton take any of the blame for the game passing him bye? Sean Payton has become so predictable it's not even funny.....

@@learningcurve3212 The coach is predictable because the QB is horrible, cant do anything with him, cant trust him to throw it down the field.

He may find a home but he's not going to magically become a better quarterback at the end of his career.

@@McP1mpin Joe Flacco has entered the conversation.

Yes! It feels like no one from the broncos management or decision-making echelon saw a hawk game the last two years of russell's tenure

Wilson did have one super skill: the huge bombs. But he had already lost a step when the Hawks dealt him and he was becoming unwatchable.

All said and done Russ can still beat the 9ers with his scrambles. We should simply re consider RW just for 2 niner games every year. LOL

Its the coaching bud not russ every time he throws deep it is a dot

As Hawks fans, you’re all trash ass fans and your team will continue to be trash as well.

For my Steelers to pick up that amount of payroll we’d have to jettison 2 of our QB ‘s. Personally I think Rudolph would serve about as well . Lots of players moving in the offseason but Wilson commands a high price for unproven success. Time will tell

​Couldn't the Broncos absorb some of that money , so Steelers wouldn't have to pay it all?​@@russellstewart5414

Nobody wants to pay that much cash for a Mediocre QB. Especially considering all the promising rookies coming on the scene and Reliable QBs soon for draft and trades.

Lol as a Chargers fan, I bet Stidham will have a career performance against our awful defense. And by all means, let it happen. We've been embracing the tank for weeks now

Stidham is tall enough to see over the O-line so I expect to see a lot of crossing route plays being executed in the next two games.

The line is fine. Did you even watch the games? Russ consistently panicked and ran out of clean pockets and the only reason Payton called outside screens all game is because that's all he trusted Russ with.

@@MikeDMinor There is not a QB in the league that can see over the line.....OL's are tall people. Even a tall QB does not have eyeballs on the top of their head.

@tylerjohnson2027 a 6' 3 QB has a much better chance of seeing over the o-)line than a 5' 10 one... remember at a scrimmage the O-line isn't always standing straight up.

You can't pay a line with a dude taking 40 mil

How tall is Russel Wilson? How tall is the O Line? See a damned problem?

@@mattipps That argument isn't any more valid than it was when he played for the Hawks. When the O-line is letting the other side's defense get to him all the time, he's going to get sacked a lot.

@@internetzenmaster8952 right... same issues at Denver too

Why would the Broncos try to win the next two games when they still wouldn't make the playoffs?

@@stefanjoeres7149 Broncos have not been eliminated from playoff contention. Need some help....teams to lose here or there but they are still in it. In fact, they can still win their division if the Chiefs lose out and Raiders lose one.

Payton doesn’t want Wilson anymore, so this is a not-so-stealthy tank job to try and get the QB he wants instead

Russ thought he could cook. Turns out he cooks about as well as Ayesha.

You should thank the coach! Sean is the reason.

Just wait, Russ will end up a Patriot

@@scorpiofrancis1119please I hope so

@@stevenmcbride9773 it’s Sean Payton Russell Wilson Vance on and on

That's what he's on now. Check downs and deep balls are all his capable of and Payton devised the entire offense around those things.

They have sucked ever since Manning retired, another couple of years, hell another ten years, won't make any difference.

Seattle drafted too late ? Or just traded away 1st round draft picks and traded for the likes of Okung who was a swing door. No excuses at all for that OL, they chose to ignore it for years.

@@gourami7 They had years and years of getting ~10 win seasons and losing early in the playoffs. The best way to get a good o lineman is in the draft, and those don’t stick around until pick 20-32. Immediately after the Wilson trade, when Seattle finally had picks, they got 2 starters.

As a broncos fan this is where I am at. I can’t believe it.

Let’s be honest even if they make it, they’re just a bye week for a real playoff team

They'd need to win out and get some luck with the remaining games. Definitely not impossible though

You guys are all delusional. It was already crazy if they ended up 10-7 because the afc race is so rough. 9-8 the seasons done for sure.

Maybe they feel that the patriots lost means that's it's over
