I compared a declining Russ to a poverty Alex Smith in the offseason. It turns out he's WORSE than KC Alex and more in line with SF Alex.
He plays scared as fuck and with the lack of talent on Denver, it's making him shut down. I think he listened too much to the media pretending this Denver team had a good roster when many on this board knew how bad they were. [Reply]
And now I'm starting to kinda sorta feel sorry for Hackett.
Don't get me wrong. He's a terrible head coach. But it's now reached that point where people are going to lob criticism at the guy just for fucking breathing.
I hear all kinds of things about his gameday decisions and yadda yadda and while he's not very good in that department, people should be focusing waaaaay more about how the Broncos are just poorly COACHED. Period.
The guy is fucking terrible at working with the players he's got and putting them in ideal positions. They're also a very undisciplined team.
They're not 2-9 or whatever because Hackett should have taken a timeout that one time. That's fucking ridiculous. [Reply]
