Russell Wilson backed as NFL analyst slams ‘thug’ Broncos coach Sean Payton
Russell Wilson backs NFL pundit Sean Payton as he criticizes ‘stubborn’ Broncos coach.
Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton has come under fire for his treatment of quarterback Russell Wilson. ESPN’s Ryan Clark called the coach a “son of a bitch.”
ESPN’s Ryan Clark examines the controversy surrounding Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton’s handling of quarterback Russell Wilson.
The 35-year-old Broncos coach sparked controversy before the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Payton Jarrett decided to use Stidham as the starting QB, and Wilson believes that decision was foreseen.
The Super Bowl winner said senior officials in the Broncos organization threatened to replace him unless he renegotiated the terms of his contract. This comes just days after Wilson helped the Broncos to a win over the Kansas City Chiefs two months ago.
However, Coach Payton denied those claims and said the decision to trade Wilson was made solely for athletic reasons. But Clark, a retired NFL star and ESPN pundit, wasn’t shy about criticizing Payton’s treatment of Wilson during an episode of ESPN’s “Stand Up.”
He accused the coach of undermining Wilson from the start. “He immediately walked into the building and from his first press conference began to berate Russell Wilson personally and professionally. “He told Russell Wilson to stop kissing babies and stop acting like he’s running for office. “No one in New Orleans loves babies more than Drew Brees.”
He also said he wants to be a role model for Coach Wilson. “He walked into this building from day one and he had something to prove to Russell Wilson. “You’ll be like everyone else.” I treat you like everyone else on the team. “That’s no way to run a franchise quarterback.”
Despite these challenges, Wilson remains committed to the Denver Broncos. “Obviously I like to go out with my friends and do what we have to do. I think I came here to play and win.
“I signed a seven-year contract to play hard, knowing it would be a challenge. “My goal is to do my best every time I go on the white road,” he said.
“That’s my goal: to do my best every time I cross the white bar.” “I want to be here, I want to play here and I’ll give it everything I’ve got,” he admitted, adding that his commitment to the Broncos remained unchanged last week.
“I want to win here and I want to give my best every week, regardless of the situation or the score. I want to be the best teammate and leader. I tell Jarrett to help him, train him, do whatever it takes. Keep working hard.
