I think that loss may have been the dagger for him. Sure, he might pop in and post a pff stat about Surtain or Scrubstain McGee on the practice squad, and he might make some swipes at Veach and Co, but we all know that he knows in his homer heart of hearts that the Hackett/Wilson era is already an unmitigated disaster and #GeneralPaton probably doesn't make it another season after this fiasco.

And considering the deep ball is the best and most important part his game, and defenses have gotten much better at defending it, what we could be seeing here is an adjustment the NFL has made and Russ hasn't been able to adjust to it. And/Or now that he no longer has the deep ball as a crutch, his inability to read a defense and work the middle of the field is being exposed.
I've thought this also.
His best years in Seattle were also with a beast mode RB.
If you don't let him throw rainbow deep balls...
He doesn't offer anything much different than a jag QB that dungur could have had (or kept) at a fraction of the cost. [Reply]
I mean, if you're Rob Walton and didn't have much to do with the current disastrous state of affairs, aren't you sitting back and wondering why the fuck my GM got fleeced for a severely below average QB and why the fuck I've already paid $250 million to him before he even took a snap for my team?
Why the fuck did we hire the most incompetent coach this hiring cycle while the new darling of the NFL, Brian Daboll, didn't even get a call from us? [Reply]
I assumed that this was after the game, but apparently it was at halftime, when the Broncos were winning. That’s incredible, they really do hate him. [Reply]
The entire internet is. None of it matters as long as they keep fighting. If the offense played up to the level they're capable of, the Broncos would be amongst the top teams in the league. [Reply]
