Russ gets a lot of hate but people forget he was very good in Seattle. Multiple seasons over 4000 yards and 30+ TDs and an average qbr over 100 during his career there. At the time it seemed like a smart move for a team that looked complete minus a QB. It’s easy to look at a move that didn’t exactly pan out a few years down the line and criticize it, but at the time I really wanted Russ and if I recall correctly so did everyone else in this sub.
