In his emotional return to Seattle on Monday Night Football, new Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson had certainly seen better days as a player. Even with deep touchdowns to new teammates and fresh suits in the tunnel walk, it was obvious a chorus of boos from Seahawks fans had thrown Wilson a bit off kilter in a stadium he called home for a decade.
At a certain point during the game, with current Seahawks (+6.5) starter Geno Smith noticeably outplaying Wilson, segments of the greater football world started to take note. That included Wilson’s former teammate and long-time Seattle star cornerback, Richard Sherman.
In a somewhat cryptic tweet, Sherman alluded to confusion and that he’d soon talk about Wilson’s worse performance in comparison to Smith:

Note: Sherman also tweeted this while actually in attendance at the game.

Oh yeah. That’s a man who is trying his hardest to bite his tongue and not say something outlandish in public. I can only imagine what Sherman has to say about Wilson vs. Smith, especially if the latter manages to pull off the upset.
NFL fans couldn't wait to hear what Sherman had to say about Wilson in his Seattle return
