    It never is

    This is the biggest issue with Russ. It’s always he doesn’t have weapons, he doesn’t like a line, he doesn’t have a good OC etc. He’s a good QB but he is not as elite as people make him out to be. He has elite stretches and he also has Trubisky-ish stretches. Someone posted a stat on Twitter the other day that around 25-30% of his career sacks have been self inflicted by the way he just starts to run backwards and constantly spin around. No O line is going to be able to stop good pass rushers when he is doing that.

    I don’t think he is going anywhere but I also don’t think the Seahawks are going anywhere either with him at QB. He might win some divisional titles and a wild card playoff game here and there so if that is what people are fine with then great.
    He is absolutely capable of winning a Super Bowl.

    But during the 2020 season, the camera would zoom in to his face, and he had this subdued, glowering look in his eyes. That had never been there before. it seemed like his life had taken a shift in direction.
    It’s very troubling that Russ and Pete had a blow up after Buffalo and couldn’t get back on track. Russ moped the rest of the season.
    You're sure it's linked to Pete?

    I think he does, but you don’t have to give in. The media does this bullshit and fans the flames.

    Win some games, throw some long TD’s to Metcalf, and all will be fine.

    He only listed one team that would have any hope of being able to trade for him, and didn't include the most obvious option (Miami) both from a "team that is only missing a QB" standpoint and "team that has the draft capital and resources to easily make this work".

    If he really wanted to get dealt that list would look a lot different. It's all just posturing.
