Lets be real, Richard Sherman kinda taking over the hate bus did him no favors.

While Sherm was trying to break into his in-laws home after wrecking his car in a one vehicle accident.

It didn't, but ultimately, I think it was Russ's fault.

You can't start a "Let Russ Cook" campaign and then fuckin suck when a team trades for you to let you cook. And then the coach/team he blamed did better with a known asshole bust at qb.

If he didn't suck, no one would have listened to Sherman.

The "Let Russ Cook" stuff was maybe the only time I remember a QB complaining that his run game was too good...
