It's no secret that Sherm has never really taken a liking to Russ. But that's because they come from different backgrounds & are very different people.
Sherm has always wanted to be the face of the team & to get the credit. When he doesn't get it, he lashes out.
Sherman is not alone, Marshawn Lynch also goes after Russ every chance he gets, and there were a lot of rumblings in Denver about players disliking him and not taking him seriously. Russell Wilson is just not a very well liked person in NFL circles period.
Not really. Sherm is really the only guy to publicly take shots at him. Marshawn is a different kind of cat. Metcalf & Lockett we're two of his closest friends on the team. He had a closer bond to the guys on offense.
Nah you are missing out, he is probably only rivaled by Aaron Rodgers in terms of teammates and staff talking ****..
KJ Wright..
Marshawn Lynch...
Marshawn Lynch has always been very outspoken when it comes to his NFL career. However, in a recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast, Lynch didn't have a ton to say regarding former teammate Russell Wilson.
While describing their relationship as teammates, Lynch admitted that Wilson was "just a quarterback" to him.....
Marshawn Lynch said in an interview that he doesn't even have Russ's phone number. When he tried to reach out, Russ had one of his assistants call back on a blocked number.

"A lot of things started to change when (he got married to Ciara) and he became a, 'Look at me guy.' He became a problem inside the facility, with the front office, and with the staff, and it just snowballed from there until they traded him."
Another one in Denver...
He just comes across as extremely inauthentic.
Even kickers from other teams taking shots in between massage sessions...
After his Denver stint it seems like every month there was an article about how and why he was so hated in nfl. You can start with here...
There have been a lot of assertions made about Russell Wilson over the past few years: He's kind of a diva, he has a huge ego, he associates himself more with management than with players, he's too focused on his brand, he's a cornball. But after having his worst year as a quarterback since he was drafted in 2012 and leading, along with coach Nathaniel Hackett, the sinking ship that was the 2022 Denver Broncos, the knives have really come out. There have been subtle digs from his former coach, less subtle digs from his former teammates, and even a kicker getting in jabs.
To be fair to Sherman, it doesn't really seem like he's wrong. The theme that keeps coming up in all these stories about Wilson is that he's separated himself from the guys on his team, behaving almost as a second coach on the field, or even worse, the "cool boss"—the type of guy who will throw three interceptions and then bring in a frozen margarita machine on casual Fridays to seem like he's still your pal. It's annoying, sure, maybe even lame. Is it that different from Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady? I'm not totally convinced.
If there is a reason that can be pinpointed as to why there seems to be so much ire directed as Wilson, it's that he comes across as a phony. The one thing people universally respond badly to is fakeness
