The one factor they didn’t account for is that he would suck.
I guess he could retire if the boos get too loud but he doesn’t strike me as the type to walk away from a boatload of cash.

Unloading Russ isn't a possibility, IMO. The only real option is to design an offense around his "unique" (read: limited) abilities. I'd think that should have been the plan from the start rather than trying to run the same offense Hackett used for Rodgers but with Wilson.
