Denver Broncos fans had heard that it was bad between Sean Payton and Russell Wilson, but this bad?
The Russell Wilson era in the Mile High City ended with a whimper, despite its promising start. In his first year ashead coach, Sean Payton was a clear net-positive for Wilson, but he had to totally restructure his offense and simplify the scheme.
"He was constantly climbing out of the back of the pocket. He struggled with snap counts. He couldn't manage or handle the play-calling.
"There is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very valid reason that Sean Payton, who is one of the best quarterback coaches and best offensive minds in our game… is saying I'm going to pay this guy millions upon millions of dollars to be nowhere near my locker room,"Payton's frustrations with Wilson were evident long before his fateful decision to bench the veteran entering Week 17.
