Maybe his nice guy image is fake
I don't think it's that. By all accounts he's a good dude. But at the time there were grumblings that everyone was held accountable for mistakes except for Russ. So it was easy for him to bounce around being Mr. Positivity because nothing was his fault. Those after game film sessions when mistakes are being examined go different when a QB isn't being held accountable....that shyt can ruin a locker room and create the type of "offense vs defense" team dynamic the Seahawks had.

I don't know what happened to him tho. Not watching the game but just looking at this box score, and based on last week's game something is clearly wrong. He's got weapons, run game, o-line isn't terrible so what is is. And based on last week where the coach celebrated Russ getting them in range for a fukking 65 yard field goal, like Russ had just driven them to the 20 yard line, maybe the same coddling is going on.

But is that a reason to hold a grudge over the qb

I feel like that can't be it. Too much vitriol :picard:
It was throwing the pick at the goal line against the Patriots.

Also he threw 4 INTs against the Packers in that NFC Title game. Everyone forgets cause of the botched onside kick and comeback. But he was terrible in that game.

Those teammates from that time period been throwing subliminal at Russ ever since

TYRONE GA!
I don't know the absolute reason, but some teammates were saying they didn't like the fact that Russell got special treatment while the Legion of Boom was carrying that team

QBs always get that shyt tho. Always extra with a nikka.


But for real, it's probably cause they think he's phony (not corny, but phony).
