I don't think that's quite fair. Russell has been clutch for Seattle in a lot of games. He's very accurate and doesn't put up big numbers because the team doesn't need that. He's also pretty good at picking his spots to run. I agree he's overhyped, and gets attention because he's a black QB, but he deserves credit for the teams success. I dislike the team and him because of them but you have to give him some credit.
Link won't play for me... maybe because of no Twitter account?
And that's all a QB really needs to be, it's just if the QB doing it is White, the (((sports media))) will say he isn't "dynamic" enough, "too pedestrian" or some other subtle critique. I wonder if they still consider Alex Smith to be a "game manager" type QB?Wilson is a good QB and well above average,but he is also more of a game manager than a gunslinger. A good game manager can keep a team in the game by not making a ton of boneheaded plays and its a title that is usually put on white QBs that the media is ready to replace. Wilson will never have that label even tho its what he does best even when the talent around him isn't there. While Wilson is honestly a lower top 10 QB he will be treated like a top 5 superstar based only on skin tone.

Great observation Bruce. I noticed this as well during the game. Last year the Coliseum was filled to the rafters for the 1st 6 games. I believe people are pissed at the affelets black power protest over black suspects pointing a gun or knife at police then getting dead. LOLNFL stadiums are starting to look like NBA arenas
The Smith comparison is probably the easiest one to make and best for our argument sake. Even at Smith's more advanced age, I think you could swap the 2 players and they'd be interchangeable. Yet one is considered great and the other replaceable. What happened to Smith in SF, when he was benched due to injury, would never happen to Wilson. If Austin Davis had to fill in for an injured Wilson for half the season and put up Tom Brady stats and wins every week, he'd be right back to the bench anyway.Thank you for throwing Alex in there,i wanted to throw him in as a comparison but it would have came off as a long ramble. They are both lower top 10 QBs and a great asset too their teams but only one will ever see the "game manager" label.
Week 1 was disappointing so far, but at least Alex Smith and Jared Goff had "shut up the naysayers" games. Cooper Kupp scored a touchdown and led Rams receivers in yardage.
The most White-friendly team this year, the Vikings, plays tomorrow night.
Bob Griese is in the hall of fame and he really was the classic game manager. He rode Csonka, Morris and Kick and threw when he had to to Warfield. Even Terry Bradshaw was one in the early years of the Steel Curtain dynasty.Thank you for throwing Alex in there,i wanted to throw him in as a comparison but it would have came off as a long ramble.

Unlike say Dick Vitale who is in your face caste, Al Michaels and ESPN's Chris Fowler appear on the surface to be low key professionals but both of them are clearly lined up in the caste circle and despite their "subtle" approach their caste hounding ways come through loud and clear to close listeners.Uncle Al had a subdued reaction to Beasley's great catch. I've observed Michaels closely over the years and that's one of his favorite Caste tricks -- he usually gets more excited by a nice play by a black player than by a White one. He's a subtle promoter of the Caste status quo rather than a blatant tool like Crissie.
