This Russell Wilson "resentment" and "conspiracy" bull...

[SchoolboyC]

Oh I see, you're one of those "let's wait for all the facts" guys

I rely on intuition & common sense and the moment we all saw the play we knew deep down something foul happened.

Nah I'm just not going to immediately jump to conspiracy theory. The moment I saw the play my first thoughts were along the lines of "Why the fukk would they pass it, that was a dumbass playcall" not "Oh they only called that play because they didn't want Marshawn to win MVP". If that was the case then why would they have given Marshawn the ball when they first got inside the 5? He was literally a broken tackle away from scoring the game winning TD.

You would think if he didn't want Marshawn to be MVP and wanted Russ to be the hero they would've just passed it all four times at the goal line just like the Niners did with Kaep in the SB a few years ago. I guess Harbaugh only did that because he didn't want Gore to win SBMVP too huh?

Why does RGIII or Wilson have to be "one of the nikkas" while Luck can just be himself?

 

[the next guy]

Tim Brown said that when the Heisman Trophy winners get together, RGIII isn't "one of the guys" and that he's pretty awkward.

And Jason Reid wrote about it in the Washington Post how Redskins players don't think he's one of the nikkas.

Why are black NFL players so divisive? This is childish and counter productive.

Reading shyt in the Coli has actually become worse than listening to these TV pundits and sports radio heads. At least they're getting paid to say outlandish nonsense.

It's hard enough trying to learn the game as a young player. Having black players and media personelle shyt on you for bullshyt for some racial shyt adds to the difficulty.

Its one thing to "be yourself", its another thing to alienate your teammates, and fail to form bonds with them.

But the main factor here is talent and ability, and Luck is significantly better than Russell Wilson. Playing ability has a way of smoothing over whatever rough edges there may be in the locker room, and whatever various personality conflicts may arise. The main variable appears to be Wilson being afforded superstar luxuries and treatment when his playing ability is average and often detrimental to the team. Thats an undercurrent that isnt going away anytime soon as long as he keeps playing so poorly.

Its not about being "one of the nikkas"

Tim Brown is basically sayin that RG3 is an a$$hole.. Just a straight up a$$hole. Russy strikes me as a real goody two shoes dude too and I can definitely see how that can rub people the wrong way.

How can you not?

Cmon man..

Ehh, he may not need to be "one of the white guys", but he is expected to be "one of the guys" and fit in with that fraternity.

I think you are taking the "playing so poorly" thing a bit too far. Rushing/passing combined, Wilson was at least a top 10 QB this past year.

difference between russ and luck?

people expect cornball from luck

I would agree, but it looks like some NFL players are on that nonsense too. This is the second time these rumors have come out about Wilson.

that's kinda what I'm saying. There's no mystery here. Wilson is not liked by some of his very own black teammates. Why that draws some comparison to Luck is beyond me. And to think that this dynamic somehow manifests itself into a playcall that can determine the superbowl

I don't get this. This is a team that just played in 2 straight Super Bowls. Wilson was 10-0 against the best QBs in the NFL before Sunday. His teammates don't have much to complain about.

Agreed. The media is stirring this up for no reason. Problem is, it does affect locker rooms.

The Seattle D, which is all-time great, is 10-0.
