I LOATHE chris russell. he is the biggest "i told you so" douche bag there is imo.
the tipping point was when d jax sat out a preseason game in his first year with us for something benign like a sore hammy.
He went on radio to say, his words almost exactly ... "I was the only one who didnt like the desean jackson signing. Let me tell you something,
I am always right. I was right about this to. You dont pay a lot of money to speed guy bc when he gets injured and losses his speed, he has nothing. And they will get injured ...."
The "I always right" comment was soo grating. I think it is fair to say d jax did pretty well last year given the state of the skins offense. Did chris russell ever acknowledge he was wrong . . .
Now I play a game when it comes to chris russell .. i see how many times he pats himself on the back or play revisionist with him on the correct side of history.
in this article:
1 - "2011 brought a work stoppage in the NFL and a conservative approach (
welcomed by me) to trying to win football games."
2 - "It was a bad idea then and it still remains a bad idea.
Nobody wanted to listen to me and my lack of confidence in giving away all of those precious resources." - he does say he wouldnt have given up picks for luck either.
3 - "However, I already knew it was a sour situation and wasn't going to get significantly better, quickly." ... meh, not such a strong "im always right" comment but why interject yourself and your correctness in the first place?
..... not the worst from russell .. i feel kinda bad now.
