So who gets the Broncos Least Valuable Player Award, the Gerald Perry Trophy?
Simple. Russ. 11 wins in 30 starts, 250M. While the numbers were better this year for him, anyone who actually pays attention to football knows that those numbers are extremely misleading and inflated because Payton dumbed it down for him. And it worked for a couple weeks but crashed hard the second teams caught on to the high school playbook.
Guy was bad at best this year. Who struggles with basics like recognizing the blitz or going through progressions. And is nothing more than a C/D rate starter that if you throw him on a loaded team he might be able to game manage enough to squeak into the playoffs.
I can't recall a player I've disliked more than Russ. And that includes Melvin I can't hang onto the football Gordon. He's a con man who duped Paton into an absurd contact without playing a game, then he stopped giving a shit and it showed on the field.
