Although this is the largest groundswell of excitement the NFL has generated around these parts since Manning retired, Russell Wilson reminds me more of another quarterback that made Broncos Country go gaga: Tim Tebow. -- New from markkiszla
Former Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe announces retirement in return to Denver: “I started it here and I wanted to end it here”Wilson can spin a spiral, including a 60-yard touchdown pass he threw Saturday to rookie Montrell Washington, in a way that’s far beyond any physical gift that Tebow possessed.
Unlike Manning, a perfectionist who softened his obsession with the details through snark and self-deprecating humor, Wilson apparently was put on this earth without a sarcasm font installed in his vocabulary. Wilson is a far different breed of cat than Manning. In public, Wilson is always on brand and seldom spontaneous. His tone is rarely conversational. Instead, Wilson seems far more comfortable reading homilies from the Book of Russ.Preaching to spectators on the hill at training camp, Wilson says: “To be here playing for you guys, playing for the Denver Broncos. What a gift. I would say playing the game, playing the quarterback position, is the greatest gift in the world.
Cynics, beware. Wilson comes off as orchestrated, rehearsed and more than a little bit corny. Yes, it bugs me sometimes.It’s a hard line to walk the every-day-is-a-gift talk. Wilson does so without flinching.
