The Denver Broncos recently lost to the mighty Miami Dolphins in a completely one-sided game by a score of 20-70. The huge loss did not make a good impression on Russell Wilson and Sean Payton, who were already doubted by many. Interestingly, this leads Colin Cowherd to draw intriguing comparisons between Russell Wilson, “Outward Popular,” and Aaron Rodgers, “Inside Man.”
In the latest episode of “The Volume,” Cowherd alluded to chaotic locker room issues with the Denver Broncos quarterback, who the analyst believes is popular outside the locker room, while the veteran Jets’ Aaron Rodgers is popular in the locker room again. . .
Colin Cowherd makes an interesting comparison between Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers
Colin believes that images of Russell Wilson inside the locker are less common than outside. Using the same principle, Cowherd, in a new episode of “The Volume,” draws a fascinating comparison between Wilson and New York Jets star Aaron Rodgers.
A big part of Russell Wilson’s legacy, his reality, is tied to the locker room. Russell has always been more popular outside the locker room than inside. By the way, Aaron Rodgers is usually very popular in the locker room. But take away some of the criticism and that’s the truth,” Cowherd said.
Colin Cowherd mentioned that the issues surrounding Wilson could lead to the Denver Broncos removing his name from their roster. He also explained why he thought Russell’s departure wouldn’t come as a surprise. He say,
This was a big lift for Sean Payton. He had to change the culture, o-line, Russell Wilson and it’s not working and it’s getting worse. This sounds crazy but I wouldn’t be shocked if eventually Russell Wilson doesn’t start and they blow it up.”
The Denver Broncos are now off to a 0-3 season start. Meanwhile, reflecting on the mammoth loss, Russell Wilson fell short of words saying that he hasn’t experienced such an offense on a football field.
Colin Cowherd Predicts Sean Payton’s Personality to take Precedence Over Russell Wilson
Colin Cowherd further reflected on the differences in personalities between Russell Wilson and Sean Payton and how the coach will eventually prevail, in case there is a clash between him and his QB. He added that Wilson is conscious about his public appearance and Sean Payton is an unapologetic coach who needs to win. Colin stated,
This is going to be a personality clash between Peyton and Russell Wilson and Peyton’s gonna win it. Sean Payton’s going to win this, it’s not going to be close.”
Wilson introduced himself as a football ambassador and politician. He ventured into various off-field activities, reflecting aspirations that went far beyond his playing career. On the other hand, Sean Payton is known for his hands-on and non-selective approach to coaching. At this time, the coach-QB duo has not yet found a winning formula and if this situation continues, things will definitely get worse in Denver.
