Russ owe Bevel, Marty, and now Hacket big time.

Wilson had the protection of Pete in the don't let them pick on me and hurt my feelings with the team, is what divided the locker room, pissed off the defense, and probably had a lot to do with Lynch being disgruntled as well.

Now he is the Franchise and for worse or Better does not have anyone overshadowing him.

Here they tried to make him the Face, he worked hard on his Brand, but this was Kam's, Sherman's, Wagner's and Lynch's team hands down.

That 2014 season NFCCG vs Peak Rodgers and the Packers sure makes that point. Russell, 4 picks and a fumble (IIRC), LOB held Packers to FGs and FGs, not TDs. LOB for the win.

It’s still a mind blow. Those six games in 2020 where he was lighting it up. The great come back against the Vikings. Pete let his ego go and voila the greatest trade in sports history.
