Reply to comment by HungryHungryCamel in Broncos' Wilson: Wish I played better for Hackett by BeautyInTheNegitive

I didn't watch alot of Broncos but it was pretty evident from game one, the coach was in over his head. It might be alleviating Russ of some of the blame, but he definitely was an awful coach all year and deserved to be fired.

Honestly I think it's fair to take some of the blame off Russell and put it on the coach. It's hard to overstate how important confidence is to how well someone plays, and when a coach can't give their players confidence in the system they're running that affects all aspects of the game.

On the other hand, part of being a professional is dealing with that and a QB also has to give confidence to the offense so Russ definitely deserves at least some flak, but the whole operation was such a shit show it's hard to say anything for sure until we see them next year.
