Thread: Is Russ a fraud?

What was the deal? And no one is infallible.

I’m rooting for Wilson. What Bronco fan wouldn’t? He needs to stop showboating and just play football. Just be a Peyton Manning.

Showboating? Ok Boomer.

Tim Tebow used to find the closest camera just to genuflect, he didn’t cross the street w/o notifying the media, and 99% of y’all had no problem with that.

I don’t even know what Wilson is supposedly doing but if he stopped y’all would be crapping on him for not showing emotion.

If I could give the world anything it’d be consistency.

I am rooting for RW to be successful.

Does it matter to Russ? Why would that matter to/for him?

He decided he didn’t want to play In Phillly and it maybe didn’t even have anything to do with football. Maybe they felt Philly wasn’t a good place for their family. Maybe he doesn’t like the coach, who knows.

Doesn’t matter though, I’m sure the deals were similar. In fact, since RW vetoed it was probably for more than what they eventually got from Denver and they probably used the Philly offer as a negotiating tool

Just goes to show how bad even the best execs in the NFL are at evaluating the QB position. Philly obviously didn't believe in Hurts to try to make this trade, and he proved them dead wrong.

And also why you just have to keep taking stabs in the draft. It's an inexact science, you have to give your team a chance to hit on one. e.g. Brock Purdy.

Because Jaded was going to abuse this info and I am not going to let him run amok any longer!

The Hurts thing is crazy because they had him in their building for two years and still didn't see it. Sometimes a switch just flips for a guy I guess.

I think RW has to have a couple of respectable seasons in Denver. If he continues to not play well , then yes, he would be considered a fraud or a bust.

Two different things. He can be a fraud and not a bust, he can be a bust but not a fraud, he could be neither, he could be both.

Bust refers specifically to his success on the field, fraud refers to his personality and persona.

For the record, I say “neither”, but I don’t know the man personally so my thoughts re: fraud don’t mean much. Come to think of it, they don’t mean much for “bust” either but we will see!

Hopefully he will have a few respectable seasons with the Broncos
