*among players with at least 100 pass attempts
Russell Wilson has quietly been pretty dang good this season, and Sean Payton has turned this organization around despite inheriting an abysmal team and getting off to a rough first few games.
Nathaniel Hackett might feel like the head-to-head was some vindication, but let’s not forget that the Jets defense scored 9 points that game. Sean Payton may be a jerk for saying what he said about Hackett, but he wasn’t wrong.
It’s weird how OP is framing this.
Especially the hackett part, considering Russell Wilson was directly responsible for all of the defensive points the jets scored lol.
Payton was also definitely wrong about the hackett situation in denver… they got to coach 2 different players. Hackett had a Wilson that thought he could play like brady and couldn’t even be coached by pete carroll at that point.
Wilson basically needed to have an awful season like he had last year, to get a reality check about his skillset, so that he could be coachable again.
Payton got to come in with authority… hackett never had any authority over wilson, and ownership had given wilson everything he wanted.
