In his emotional return to Seattle on Monday Night Football, new Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson had certainly seen better days as a player. Even with deep touchdowns to new teammates and fresh suits in the tunnel walk, it was obvious a chorus of boos from Seahawks fans had thrown Wilson a bit off kilter in a stadium he called home for a decade.
At a certain point during the game, with current Seahawks (+6.5) starter Geno Smith noticeably outplaying Wilson, segments of the greater football world started to take note. That included Wilson’s former teammate and long-time Seattle star cornerback, Richard Sherman.
In a somewhat cryptic tweet, Sherman alluded to confusion and that he’d soon talk about Wilson’s worse performance in comparison to Smith:

Note: Sherman also tweeted this while actually in attendance at the game.

Oh yeah. That’s a man who is trying his hardest to bite his tongue and not say something outlandish in public. I can only imagine what Sherman has to say about Wilson vs. Smith, especially if the latter manages to pull off the upset.
