Ryan Clark Calls Sean Payton a Thug

He should have stopped after saying Wilson excels when the play breaks down. Somehow at his age that is still true. He has a 13:2 TD:INT ratio when under pressure this year.
LOL...I know right.

But I said this when everyone was clamoring for Russ (dang I got beat up in that thread :cry: )
Now, I'm not saying that Russ cannot play in this system but for those that think that he will immediately come in and run our offense would need to temper their expectation. If we called Jameis a reclamation project because of interceptions, what would we call Russ based off his weaknesses. People misconstrue pointing out these weaknesses as saying that he isn't great. He is and he has the numbers to back it up. He also played in a system that covered some of these weaknesses (as any system should) and his athleticism made up for others.

Last year he was mediocre. So were Dalton and Winston. Russ made the pro bowl from 2017-2021. This year he ranks slightly behind Carr in QBR. Put him in a good system and he has 2-3 years of good play left.
I asked @Rouxble to see if he could pull the metrics on our 2021 bunch because I wanted to see how they stacked up against Russ this season but film matches metrics more than stats. I'm not saying he is playing bad at all but when you look at film, there is no way that he is playing anywhere close to his contract.

And Russ' skillset really just doesn't really translate across systems.
