He is not playing aggressive.. Comparing him to Young at least as quite and un-aggressive Young looked.. everyone still just said he was just calm, cool and collected. Russell is not leading anyone and honestly playing like he's scared. Also I thought he was a dual threat.. that guy is not trying to run for anything. Im honestly wondering how did he win the starting position.

He isn't playing great, but isn't playing like dog shite either.

Definitely seen worse QB play.

It's clear he won the job with his ability off script. Considering the O line we need it badly

He’s got all the tools. Just has to settle down and get more comfortable. Pocket presence isn’t that great. But I think he’ll get there. He’ll be a stud before he leaves here.

Brett Favre would be scared playing behind that OLine.

It’d also help if his OC understood the game of college football play calling… but here we are.

14/19 142 yards and a touchdown. I understand you’re upset because the scoreboard doesn’t look good, but the problem isn’t Russell right now, it’s that defense. Offensive line aren’t consistently run blocking very well either.

We have zero stops on defense. Even with Peyton Manning back there you aren't winning if you have zero stops

After running for 80 yds against EC, everybody was ranting about him taking hits. He's probably been told not to run by guru OC.

Honestly our offense is playing as expected. They also have the excuse of being brand new and young for the most part. They’re a work in progress and will be for a while

It’s the defense that’s been complete and dog shite today. And they’re a largely experienced group. After what happened last year you’d think Kane would’ve had them better prepared

Start #3 behind a bad OL that is also preventing a complimentary run game, he could be much worse.

He's stuck in neutral, but they willingly chose growing pains for a potential better future.

Should be nowhere near calling for a QB change...

He’s just not elite. We knew rekey with Bryce and Tua. He ain’t it.

Agree. A good running game will be his best friend and the OL is giving him all day. Game will slow down for him

Keelon is the only reason we are in the game. Hes having to dance around and wait for someone to get open.

He is way better than Sam Levitt.

We all can agree on that.
