From Super Bowl hero to not even being wanted by his own team. This is the rise and fall of Russel Wilson. Follow BLITZ Instagram: / blitz Imagery supplied by Getty Images
@@antr7493His dad didn't prevent him from playing, his dad pushed his son to play in the big leagues, his "why not us?" moniker is from his own father's lips saying "why not you son?" when telling Russ he could be huge in the NFL or MLB and when he passed away, Russ pressed on for his father's legacy to be his own as an NFL QB.
Agreed, he was great. Like the video said, consistently great, for many years. Man, I’d watch him play and sometimes my jaw would drop… like “how?!! How did he just do that?!” Some of my best football memories are from watching a play totally break down and Russell Wilson make pure magic outta nothing… time and time, and time, again. I’m afraid all of that greatness will be lost in his story, all because of these crappy later chapters. 🤦🏻♀️ Smh it’s a real disappointment how it ended in Seattle. Anyway, I remember how good he was! I’ll always remember 🫡🏈💙💚
I wouldn't say having a 26-8 TD-Int ratio in 15 games and being benched because the terrible team wants to avoid the risk of giving you an injury settlement is "fallen off"
Lol your ignore his 2 years of crap before that just to help your argument. He still did a avg season this year and you’re trying to use it as he’s good sitll
@@Suckitupbuttercup407 2 years of crap?? what on earth are you talking about, he had a 25-6 TD-int ratio in the first year of this so called "crap" you speak of, than in the second year, sure he had 16-11 TD-int ratio, but that coaching staff was the reason he had those shaky numbers, look how much better he did with a better coaching staff. Your just hating to hate lol
Russell really never fell off,he just got traded and benched,sure he's a locker room cancer,but he's a great quarterback,definitely one of the best qbs,he literally kept the Seahawks above 500 for the past 9 years,his legacy still lives on as the Seahawks still are above 500,top 50 qb for sure
He was really good with The Seattle Seahawks he won a super Bowl with in his second year. He played for my home state team I am from Washington its a shame he sunk a little I wish he still played for The Seattle Seahawks I miss Russell Wilson :( I do like the Broncos also but I wish played for Seattle I miss him big time :(
After the 1st Arizona game in 2020, Russ was never the same player. All the fans saw it, and a lot of us were a bit fed up with him not playing up to his contract
I am a patriots fan and it pains me to say this, but it’s the truth. If the decision to throw it on the one yard line was a decision to run it instead Russell Wilson would have two Super Bowl rings right now.
Drew lock did not play in the last 2 games of the 2023-24 season, Jarrett Stidham did. Drew lock was one of the players that was traded to the Seahawks. Drew lock started in week 14 and 15 for the seahawks because Geno Smith was injured. We lost to the 49ers in week 14, but put together a game winning drive to beat the Eagles 20-17.
Being an SD charger fan for 20 years, I moved to Seattle. I thought I'd never have a Superbowl ever. But I was loyal. Then Russell was in, and I thought, whatever it is, what it is. I never thought Russell could get it done. I was naysayer like everyone else. When the Seahawks won the SB, I was so happy. I lived in Las Vegas, and the UNLV rebels won a national championship. I was in hog heaven. What a life.
He’s a great player. The problem with the end of his run in Seattle is that ownership spent too much money on Russell Wilson and too little to build up the rest of them team when the Legion of Boom left. Russell Wilson deserves to get rewarded for his hard work like anyone else but when it comes to the NFL you have to balance between reward your players for hard work and maintaining a team that can win Super Bowls.
I agree. The other thing was pete carroll refused to change his schemes, replenish players & keep the team hungry. If pete carroll traded et, sherman & chancellor from 2015-17, they wouldve have reloaded & wouldve put them in a better spot.
You can also mention that they kind of sucked at drafting. For a Run first team, they couldn't maintain a good healthy RB since Lynch left. 2015 they had a mix of rawls, Cheeseburger Lacy, and Fred Jackson at the end of his career. After that they never really had a legit starting RB besides Chris Carson, but he had his fair share of injuries. One can say that teams were able to adapt to Seattle since Seattle really had no legitimate run game.
As a Seahawks fan, I’ve watched every snap of Russel Wilson’s career. It’s apparent that many of his detractors don’t know what they are talking about. After the Super Bowl run, the Seahawks consistently had a bottom tier offensive line. Management chose to invest in defensive stars and skimp on O line. Russ was running for his life every snap. Remember, this is the team who actually converted a TE and Defensive linemen into STARTING tackles! What a joke. Schneider threw Russ to the wolves because Russ was a god at scrambling and throwing on the run. Eventually, this strategy led to little injuries that added up. Russ got blamed for “slipping”. So sad. If Tom Brady was the qb he would have gotten killed. I believe he got sick of not being protected and forced his way out. Unfortunately he went for the money and went to a team with no one around him. I feel he will do well in Pittsburgh with better coaching and talent around him.
The end for Russ was on the goal line in the fourth quarter durring his second superbowl. He called an audible because he wanted to throw the game winning touchdown pass because he was still bitter about not winning MVP the year before. Instead, he effectively threw away his career by being selfish. He had Marshawn fucking Lynch in his backfield and needed one yard. They could have told the Pat's what play they were running and still made it. It was brilliant the way Carrol played out the end of Russels' contract, though. Fooled the whole league into thinking Russ was still an elite quarterback who could single handedly win games.
I just got through watching his rookie year with the Seahawks what an incredible athlete and what an incredible group of football players under Pete Carroll! This whole team was built upon misfits that nobody wanted in the NFL!! I live a few miles from the VMAC! Russell Worked harder than anybody on that team!! 2013 and 2014 the best group of football players I’ve ever seen work miracles!!!
The next installment will be the rise and fall and rise of Russell Wilson. The Steelers know what they are doing. They are going to put Wilson in a position to succeed while they try to get Fields straightened out. If Fields is able to learn how to read defenses the Steelers will look like genuses. We may end up looking back on this in a few years as the big quarterback story of the year. By the way I am not being a homer, I am a Vikings fan.
This video sounds like a book report on Russ from someone who didn't watch him play. In his prime, Russ was houdini at escaping defensive pressure which drove every one of his stats. Not a word of it here.
He took the lead in Atlanta with 42 seconds left in the playoffs his rookie year. The defense that "carried" him couldn't hold atl out of field goal range.
Ima be honest and idk if any other deal hawks fans agree with me on this I’m not that shocked to be honest that his career went downhill what made him such a good QB was his ability to run the ball even though we had good seasons his last three years in Seattle he wasn’t running the ball as much, which is what made him such a lethal QB
I for one think he'll turn it around in Pittsburgh, but not to the height of his early days in Seattle. He's not quite as mobile and that was a big factor, getting out of the pocket. But Pittsburgh can build players because of the salary cap gift and the whole team could make a run. Just not on his back alone.
Broncos shouldve never payed for Russ, atleast not that much. after just watchign this year its utter disaster having him behind the offense. he throws horribly, isnt liked by most teammates, and really just hasnt been the one for our team. hope we trade or get something out of him so its not a total loss.
Since Lynch left after the 2014 season, the seahawks didn't have any legitimate runningbacks. For a run first team they surely didn't do so hot. Exception for Rawls on a short run and Chris Carson who was awesome (but he had his fair share of injuries). Besides that, the rest of the runningbacks they had just couldn't get it done.
I am not sure how good Russell was supposed to be. I think Pete and John wanted an x-factor QB, but not a goat. Russell Wilson is a great QB, and he has a clutch like talent - or at least he did. But people get confused that consistent flashes of brilliance (which he had in spades particularly at the end of games) is NOT the same thing as someone who can carry a team on his shoulders despite all odds. There was a time where defenses just couldn't play him consistently because he was so illusive. He did his best work out of the pocket, and it was really difficult to contain him because he could wriggle out. So you couldn't contain him consistently, and he was too fast for rushers, and either way he made you pay. I think he started losing that ability towards the later half of the decade, even in 2015 and 2016. He still played at a high level and could do magical things, but the Seahawks became instead of a well rounded team, a team that depended more and more on Russell being magic. He had lost just a sliver of illusiveness, but if you see the narrow margins of how he escaped earlier in his career, all it took was that sliver to help defenses catch him. Man how I wish he could have stayed humble and adjusted his own expectations of himself, but I know how hard that is for generationally talented people to do, especially when they are at their peak.
He hasn't ever fallen off. He is a super bowl champion. Was a 2 time MVP contender. He should've won in 2020-21 but the man is a hall of famer. He will always be my favorite quarterback of all time
Russell Wilson ain’t never fell off, so the Broncos have fallen off ever since John Elway stopped being general manager. He is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league and a Super Bowl champion. The only problem they had with him is some of his teammates didn’t like him. He gonna be a Hall of Famer one day when his career is over.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
the Broncos started falling off when Peyton Manning stopped being the QB. John Elway was still the GM after Peyton left and the Broncos were still bad the remaining years
this video really missed the true point. Wilson's downfall had NOTHING to do with stats, and the trade to the Broncos was not Carroll and Schneider 'cashing out'. All of it - the downfall, the trade, and getting cut - was a result of him becoming a diva. After great success for a couple years being completely focused on winning football, he wanted to "Let Russ Cook" (throw the ball more), have more input into personnel decisions, and was more concerned with his legacy than winning football games. He married a pop star and turned Hollywood, his teammates resented him, but Pete Carroll protected him from that until he couldn't any more. Then, Wilson demanded a trade, and dictated which teams he would go to. When he went to Denver, he no longer had Carroll to protect him and game plan to maximize his skills and hide his weaknesses, and got exposed.
i've lived in seattle for 30+ years... love the seahawks... wilson absolutely destroyed his legacy with his attitude.. his ego told him he was the reason the seahawks won... he forgot about the hawk's INCREDIBLE defense, and marshawn lynch...!!!! now, we get to see the real russ.. .and, it's NOT pretty..
I see a lot of myself in Russell Wilson. He undoubtedly has ADD and could possibly be on the edge of the autism spectrum, as I also am. I would also suspect an IQ north of 140 - probably somewhere around 160 on logic and 125 or creativity. It's scary how much I understand what's going on in his head. You ever have that friend who you never talk to for months or years, then you run into each other and it's all good? We need people like that in our lives. I'm also somewhat reclusive because I'm afraid of my social awkwardness. I could not imagine trying to fit into an NFL locker room without just being "wrong." Give the man some space - if you can, ask the questions. The right questions.
For all the people that were upset about Sean Payton mistreating Russell Wilson which was bad people need to realize Russell Wilson did all this to himself when he demanded a trade out of Seattle and he’s never taken any accountability for it russell Wilson has no one to blame but himself for his downfall
As a Seahawk fan, there was a satisfaction watching Russ tank at Denver, "finding out the grass isn't greener" For those who don't know Russ made a statement saying he wasn't going anywhere and 2 weeks later he left for Denver. This left a foul taste in alot of hawks fans mouth which is why he was booed like crazy when he returned. Now I'm rooting for him and would love nothing more than for him to kick ass for the Steelers. as a last kind of "FU" to SP. "I steel got it"
Russell Wilson was just like Tom Brady and the Patriots but the difference is between him and Russell Wilson he won multiple super bowls and what did Russell Wilson won one he hasn't been back to the super bowl since then they said because he got involved with his second wife Ciara
Why not mention the architect of the dreaded Denver deal for Russell Wilson? His Name is George Paton and why he still has a job the Broncos Fans base is wondering? Denver's last two GM'S have ruined the franchise....
Dude this isn't a fall off. This dude is a superbowl champion, he made it the the superbowl again, he has consistently been going to the pro bowl, he should've gotten an mvp, he's been consistently going to the playoffs even with a mediocre seahawks team. This isn't a fall off. Longevity is something that only a few can achieve, like Tom Brady. You can't say that he fell off shortly after being a "superbowl hero." I'd be surprised if he didn't make it to the hall of fame. If he doesn't, it'll be because of his career as a bronco.
The Seahawks where mediocre after the legion of boom and beast mode that division wasn’t all that when he was winning 😂 facts don’t care bout your feelings 😂
@@quintinsigers5305 Yeah I agree seahawks were mediocre. I'm talking about Russell Wilson as an individual. The NFC west still remained one of the more consistently competitive divisions. Try to name another one other than possible AFC north. Even AFC north was just the steelers and the Ravens tho.
Future and Ciara is going to bring down Russell Wilson in their past relationship drama the people say that they care about Russell Wilson and Ciara know they don't because if they do they could see the bigger picture
@@ezequielmartinez238 Jim also has way more interceptions than he has career TDS. Rightfully so he ain’t a HOF. It’s not about rings tho. Dan Marino has no rings yet he’s in the HOF. It’s about accomplishments and resume.
@@dreowens6371 ohh I see, now the rings doesn't matter, so you tell me the way the HOF works is moving the goal post, obviously are some dudes that only won 1 ring being carried, but if you won 2 SB's, and 1 SB MVP, 1 regular season MVP, and 1 comeback of the year, you were doing something right, Russ only won 1 SB and he doesn't won the MVP of that SB, and had 0 regular season MVP'S sure the stats and the accomplishments should count, but for someones the way they select doesn't make sense, I'm not a Raiders fan, but some players of that team establish records and they're not in the HOF, for example Tom Flores won 3 SB's one as an assistant coach, and 2 as a HC and was selected to the HOF after Tony Dungy
Russell Wilson started to fall when he married Ciara princess Harris Wilson because he knew the type of baggage that she was bringing in instead of him dealing with it and being on top of his game he just let himself be distracted and calls himself to lose whenever Ciara's ex get into it with her Russell Wilson is caught up in her relationship with her ex future
Russell never fell all he just went to a bad team that was all ready in the dumps. he had a good in 2023. he had over 3000 passing yard, 26 TDs ,and 8 INTS. and almost took Denver to the playoffs. But now he's about to get payed 30 million by Denver. so now he can sign with a new team (when he gets cut) and only ask for 2 million. Then his new team can have a great QB and still sign a huge amount of talent on OF and DE. So honestly Russell Wilson is RISING! You got your story right before you just make a video Bro.
I’ve said it before to others, Denver was simply a bad fit for him. No matter how good somebody is, they have to have be a good fit to succeed no matter how talented they are. I think Wilson has a lot left in the tank still and sometimes it’s first year struggles that can happen in a new city, new culture, new system, etc. I kind of figured he’d have a better second year but if he finds the right team that can utilize him better, he could possibly win one more Super Bowl before his career ends.
🎶Memories...la la dee dahh🎶 God those were such great years for us. Seattle was on fire 🔥 with this new and improved rSeahawk team. We just kept getting better and better! Jermain Kearse and Russel had such a Love connection. And the same with Tyler Lockett and Dougie Baldwin? The dream team of wide receivers and running backs! We had the LOB, Beastmode and Pete Caroll leading the band! The whole world was watching the Seahawks. Those were great times BUT.... This coming season is going to be one for the record books I guaran-fuc**n- tee you! Just you wait! I cannot wait! The world is gonna see some seriously crazt good💩!!😅😅GO SEAHAWKS 💙💚💙💚😓
“So Sean Peyton and the Broncos sat him in place of Drew Lock…” So very close, and as a broncos fan I wish that was the case but Drew Lock was part of the package for Wilson. It was the wet fart that is Jerrett Stidham.
But ever college kid is literally frayed from what “they did” in college which scouts hope what “they can do” on the NFL the hell you talking about lol
That Super Bowl win was rigged. The refs called so many bs pentalties on the Niners in the NFC game. It was a surprise the Niners were still in the game for so long. Whoever won that NFC game was the champion.
Bruh Russ didn’t get benched for drew lock, he got benched for jarred stidham lmao. Drew lock has been with the Seahawks for 2 years now
That’s what happens when you have ChatGPT write your script
Yeah there were a handful of incorrect statements in this video, they also said we swept SF in 2013, we didn't. We lost in SF that year.
not to mention it says "players can go from superbowl heros to benchwarmers in no time..." 11 seasons is no time? the fuck
I think that he is a Champion again because he is right now in great equip
The use of "bruh" is a reliable low IQ marker.
Fun fact: russ went back to football because his dad passed away, and wanted to do what he loved best
"Fun fact" ? so, his dad prevented him from playing football and after he died he was like fuck off dad I'm doing what I love to do ?
@@antr7493His dad didn't prevent him from playing, his dad pushed his son to play in the big leagues, his "why not us?" moniker is from his own father's lips saying "why not you son?" when telling Russ he could be huge in the NFL or MLB and when he passed away, Russ pressed on for his father's legacy to be his own as an NFL QB.
@@antr7493I wish I could do my thing.
Kids nowadays don’t know how good prime Russ was 😢
Wdym kids nowadays, they watched him too 😭😭
I do he’s good but what the hell broncos
Agreed, he was great. Like the video said, consistently great, for many years. Man, I’d watch him play and sometimes my jaw would drop… like “how?!! How did he just do that?!”
Some of my best football memories are from watching a play totally break down and Russell Wilson make pure magic outta nothing… time and time, and time, again.
I’m afraid all of that greatness will be lost in his story, all because of these crappy later chapters. 🤦🏻♀️
Smh it’s a real disappointment how it ended in Seattle. Anyway, I remember how good he was! I’ll always remember 🫡🏈💙💚
You don't pay that kind of money for a QB with two sprained knees who can't run anymore.
I wouldn't say having a 26-8 TD-Int ratio in 15 games and being benched because the terrible team wants to avoid the risk of giving you an injury settlement is "fallen off"
That was the same stats as Patrick Mahomes at the time
I would. He don't win, that's the bottom line. Stats are meaningless if you don't win games.
He is a stat pony, virtually ineffective in terms of developing stats when they matter.
Lol your ignore his 2 years of crap before that just to help your argument. He still did a avg season this year and you’re trying to use it as he’s good sitll
@@Suckitupbuttercup407 2 years of crap?? what on earth are you talking about, he had a 25-6 TD-int ratio in the first year of this so called "crap" you speak of, than in the second year, sure he had 16-11 TD-int ratio, but that coaching staff was the reason he had those shaky numbers, look how much better he did with a better coaching staff. Your just hating to hate lol
Russell really never fell off,he just got traded and benched,sure he's a locker room cancer,but he's a great quarterback,definitely one of the best qbs,he literally kept the Seahawks above 500 for the past 9 years,his legacy still lives on as the Seahawks still are above 500,top 50 qb for sure
I haven’t heard him becoming a cancer in the locker room. How did he get that reputation?
@@multiyapplesBy being one.
The Seahawks were only great when they had a top defense and/or Lynch running. Wilson sucks.
Yep pretty accurate career summary
He’s definitely not great anymore.
as an Eagles fan. Im saying right now. Get ready for the Steeler version of Russ. This dude gonna merk people
He was really good with The Seattle Seahawks he won a super Bowl with in his second year.
He played for my home state team I am from Washington its a shame he sunk a little
I wish he still played for The Seattle Seahawks I miss Russell Wilson :(
I do like the Broncos also but I wish played for Seattle I miss him big time :(
After the 1st Arizona game in 2020, Russ was never the same player. All the fans saw it, and a lot of us were a bit fed up with him not playing up to his contract

Well no shit
we got a smart guy over here
However patriots won patriots won I was thrilled then thrilled now. Patriots are a big joke now but it took 20yrs for BB to destroy the patriots
🤡🤡🤣
na he threw a bad ball
Drew lock did not play in the last 2 games of the 2023-24 season, Jarrett Stidham did. Drew lock was one of the players that was traded to the Seahawks. Drew lock started in week 14 and 15 for the seahawks because Geno Smith was injured. We lost to the 49ers in week 14, but put together a game winning drive to beat the Eagles 20-17.

If not for Pete Carroll's idiotic call in the Super Bowl, Wilson's legacy might be completely different!
Wilson threw the ball.
@@garylasseter2978 THE COACH MADE THE CALL!!!!!!
Russ shoulda called an audible & just ran it. But no dude wanted to be a hero
@@the_auditor1017 You can try to let Carrol off the hook all you want, BUT HE MADE THE CALL!!!!!!
Can’t be good forever! Man is a lengend and can play dif sports relax
The broncos should keep Wilson. He played decent last year and not much else they can do
its still so crazy yall post some of the best football content yet you guys only have 30k subs and 36k views. underrated AF.

Thanks Denver. Sincerely, Pittsburgh Steelers.
Co-signed by Seattle Seahawks
He was the coolest looking quarterback and he had the coolest name, and of coarse the talent to back it up. Disheartening to see how it ended.

He took the lead in Atlanta with 42 seconds left in the playoffs his rookie year. The defense that "carried" him couldn't hold atl out of field goal range.
Fall? He had better stats than “MVP” Lamar Jackson…people are so casual
GTFOH Russ is ass juice af ! Tons of stats garnered in garbage time he had a great career it’s over now

Im a niner fan. Wilsons a good guy and hope he becomes the niner 2qb. If not, hope he tears it up and know he can in the rught system.
Do a video on Cam Newton now lol. He's a up and down wreck too.
How?
This is the perfect example of trading a player 1 year too early than 1 year too late. 🤷🏈
Can you do the story of Brock Purdy next
He'll bounce back with the Steelers, with a better coach and a running game team. Go Hawks!
I for one think he'll turn it around in Pittsburgh, but not to the height of his early days in Seattle. He's not quite as mobile and that was a big factor, getting out of the pocket. But Pittsburgh can build players because of the salary cap gift and the whole team could make a run. Just not on his back alone.

Broncos going to look funny when their next QB sucks as Wilson goes to the playoffs.
Steelers Nation, let's weld
Bro had one bad year two years ago & you're ready to bury him? I don't get it.
Just a Q - is he regarded as a ‘team’ player ?
Awesome video. Same narrator as Nonstop Sports??
…………..and rise again!!!!! Here we go!!!! Go STEELERS!!!! ✌🏻👍🏻
Here we go!
Russell Wilson ain’t never fell off, so the Broncos have fallen off ever since John Elway stopped being general manager. He is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league and a Super Bowl champion. The only problem they had with him is some of his teammates didn’t like him. He gonna be a Hall of Famer one day when his career is over.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
the Broncos started falling off when Peyton Manning stopped being the QB. John Elway was still the GM after Peyton left and the Broncos were still bad the remaining years
The last time the Broncos were in the playoffs was 2015. That’s been almost 10 years.
this video really missed the true point. Wilson's downfall had NOTHING to do with stats, and the trade to the Broncos was not Carroll and Schneider 'cashing out'. All of it - the downfall, the trade, and getting cut - was a result of him becoming a diva. After great success for a couple years being completely focused on winning football, he wanted to "Let Russ Cook" (throw the ball more), have more input into personnel decisions, and was more concerned with his legacy than winning football games. He married a pop star and turned Hollywood, his teammates resented him, but Pete Carroll protected him from that until he couldn't any more. Then, Wilson demanded a trade, and dictated which teams he would go to. When he went to Denver, he no longer had Carroll to protect him and game plan to maximize his skills and hide his weaknesses, and got exposed.
Numbers don’t lie people do, Russ has been good every year arguably except his first year as a bronco
As a Packer fan ill always be tormented by the fail mary
i've lived in seattle for 30+ years... love the seahawks... wilson absolutely destroyed his legacy with his attitude.. his ego told him he was the reason the seahawks won... he forgot about the hawk's INCREDIBLE defense, and marshawn lynch...!!!! now, we get to see the real russ.. .and, it's NOT pretty..
I see a lot of myself in Russell Wilson. He undoubtedly has ADD and could possibly be on the edge of the autism spectrum, as I also am. I would also suspect an IQ north of 140 - probably somewhere around 160 on logic and 125 or creativity. It's scary how much I understand what's going on in his head.
You ever have that friend who you never talk to for months or years, then you run into each other and it's all good? We need people like that in our lives. I'm also somewhat reclusive because I'm afraid of my social awkwardness. I could not imagine trying to fit into an NFL locker room without just being "wrong." Give the man some space - if you can, ask the questions. The right questions.
When did he fall?
After the goaline interception he was never the same…that Super Bowl ruined him and his confidence
WELCOME TO STEELERS NATION BABBBYYY🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Rise and Fall and Rise Again
One last shot in the “Steel City”
I blame Ciara. Fame got into Russ's head.
For all the people that were upset about Sean Payton mistreating Russell Wilson which was bad people need to realize Russell Wilson did all this to himself when he demanded a trade out of Seattle and he’s never taken any accountability for it russell Wilson has no one to blame but himself for his downfall
Just released
As a Seahawk fan, there was a satisfaction watching Russ tank at Denver, "finding out the grass isn't greener" For those who don't know Russ made a statement saying he wasn't going anywhere and 2 weeks later he left for Denver. This left a foul taste in alot of hawks fans mouth which is why he was booed like crazy when he returned.
Now I'm rooting for him and would love nothing more than for him to kick ass for the Steelers. as a last kind of "FU" to SP. "I steel got it"
I miss prime Russel Wilson😢😢😢
Oh you mean Mr. Unliiiiiiiiiiiiimeted.
5 days later he is no longer is a Broncos 🤦🏿 sick.
If he get the rite system, he got few years left he can pull Kirt w
Russell Wilson was just like Tom Brady and the Patriots but the difference is between him and Russell Wilson he won multiple super bowls and what did Russell Wilson won one he hasn't been back to the super bowl since then they said because he got involved with his second wife Ciara
Russ 3.0 will be legendary 🌑🌕
rise fall and redemption vid coming soon
12:15, *Jets??
Yea us broncos fans are mad with Russ and no it’s not the coaching it’s russ
btw russ actually had a pretty decent 2023 campaign, not only from statistics but also to the naked eye. hope hes treated better
Steeler
Why not mention the architect of the dreaded Denver deal for Russell Wilson? His Name is George Paton and why he still has a job the Broncos Fans base is wondering? Denver's last two GM'S have ruined the franchise....
Just run the damn ball
He is a good qb still
He’s an ok qb at best
He was balling out before they benched him even with that garbage roster
@@VonJaye LMFAO "balling out" he had like 200 yards a game
@@VonJayehe sucks what are you yapping about
@Noooosam 28 tds to 8 ints is bad?
maybe future is the reason ?!
Dude this isn't a fall off. This dude is a superbowl champion, he made it the the superbowl again, he has consistently been going to the pro bowl, he should've gotten an mvp, he's been consistently going to the playoffs even with a mediocre seahawks team. This isn't a fall off. Longevity is something that only a few can achieve, like Tom Brady. You can't say that he fell off shortly after being a "superbowl hero." I'd be surprised if he didn't make it to the hall of fame. If he doesn't, it'll be because of his career as a bronco.
The Seahawks where mediocre after the legion of boom and beast mode that division wasn’t all that when he was winning 😂 facts don’t care bout your feelings 😂
@@quintinsigers5305 Yeah I agree seahawks were mediocre. I'm talking about Russell Wilson as an individual. The NFC west still remained one of the more consistently competitive divisions. Try to name another one other than possible AFC north. Even AFC north was just the steelers and the Ravens tho.
He's going into the Hall of Fame. He had too many good years in Seattle!
Future and Ciara is going to bring down Russell Wilson in their past relationship drama the people say that they care about Russell Wilson and Ciara know they don't because if they do they could see the bigger picture
Now,he just leave the denver
Russ definitely fell off but the broncos issues were NOT all on him the team literally sucks, I think they should’ve given him one more year
He was awful and now the Steelers can suffer
Russ is easily the best QB and maybe even player in Seattle history. He’s not a HOFer to me but he’s definitely iconic.
Why wouldn’t you consider him a HOF? Just curious.
@@dreowens6371for example Jim Plunkett have 2 rings and he is not in the HOF
He’ll definitely be a hof
@@ezequielmartinez238 Jim also has way more interceptions than he has career TDS. Rightfully so he ain’t a HOF. It’s not about rings tho. Dan Marino has no rings yet he’s in the HOF. It’s about accomplishments and resume.
@@dreowens6371 ohh I see, now the rings doesn't matter, so you tell me the way the HOF works is moving the goal post, obviously are some dudes that only won 1 ring being carried, but if you won 2 SB's, and 1 SB MVP, 1 regular season MVP, and 1 comeback of the year, you were doing something right, Russ only won 1 SB and he doesn't won the MVP of that SB, and had 0 regular season MVP'S sure the stats and the accomplishments should count, but for someones the way they select doesn't make sense, I'm not a Raiders fan, but some players of that team establish records and they're not in the HOF, for example Tom Flores won 3 SB's one as an assistant coach, and 2 as a HC and was selected to the HOF after Tony Dungy
Russell Wilson started to fall when he married Ciara princess Harris Wilson because he knew the type of baggage that she was bringing in instead of him dealing with it and being on top of his game he just let himself be distracted and calls himself to lose whenever Ciara's ex get into it with her Russell Wilson is caught up in her relationship with her ex future
Welp….he’d have 2 chips if he would’ve just ran the ball. 😑
Russ should be fine if he is locked in football, only
Russell never fell all he just went to a bad team that was all ready in the dumps. he had a good in 2023. he had over 3000 passing yard, 26 TDs ,and 8 INTS. and almost took Denver to the playoffs. But now he's about to get payed 30 million by Denver. so now he can sign with a new team (when he gets cut) and only ask for 2 million. Then his new team can have a great QB and still sign a huge amount of talent on OF and DE. So honestly Russell Wilson is RISING! You got your story right before you just make a video Bro.
I’ve said it before to others, Denver was simply a bad fit for him. No matter how good somebody is, they have to have be a good fit to succeed no matter how talented they are. I think Wilson has a lot left in the tank still and sometimes it’s first year struggles that can happen in a new city, new culture, new system, etc. I kind of figured he’d have a better second year but if he finds the right team that can utilize him better, he could possibly win one more Super Bowl before his career ends.
He’s always a winner. Careers evolve but character is the value of a person
He’s mediocre at best. Denver had to move on from him and look to the future.
🎶Memories...la la dee dahh🎶 God those were such great years for us. Seattle was on fire 🔥 with this new and improved rSeahawk team. We just kept getting better and better! Jermain Kearse and Russel had such a Love connection. And the same with Tyler Lockett and Dougie Baldwin? The dream team of wide receivers and running backs! We had the LOB, Beastmode and Pete Caroll leading the band! The whole world was watching the Seahawks. Those were great times BUT.... This coming season is going to be one for the record books I guaran-fuc**n- tee you! Just you wait! I cannot wait! The world is gonna see some seriously crazt good💩!!😅😅GO SEAHAWKS 💙💚💙💚😓
Jesus is The So Amazing
“So Sean Peyton and the Broncos sat him in place of Drew Lock…”
So very close, and as a broncos fan I wish that was the case but Drew Lock was part of the package for Wilson. It was the wet fart that is Jerrett Stidham.
But ever college kid is literally frayed from what “they did” in college which scouts hope what “they can do” on the NFL the hell you talking about lol
lol, San Fran beat Seattle in 2013
This dude witll get 39 mill even if he dont step on a piece of grass this yr
Fall? Russ hasnt fallen the Broncos have
Russ was a consistant top 7 QB for nearly a whole decade. He is a first ballot HOF for sure
Jim Plunkett have 2 rings and he is not in the HOF...
This Wilson slobberfest is a little misleading
You can only keep up a charade for so long.
Isn’t Drew Lock on the Seahawks?
That Super Bowl win was rigged. The refs called so many bs pentalties on the Niners in the NFC game. It was a surprise the Niners were still in the game for so long. Whoever won that NFC game was the champion.
