Steelers fans are saying the same thing about Cris Collinsworth's dramatic takedown of Russell Wilson

Another game, another hate! After I was told: “mute“In the last Steelers vs. Cowboys game, Cris Collinsworth faced another swipe from NFL fans. And that's once again due to his well-hyped take on Russell-Wilson.

During the Steelers' game against the Jets in Week 7, commentator Cris Collinsworth praised quarterback Russell Wilson, who emerged as the starter after his injury episode. However, many people didn't like hyping him up in his first game. And so fans on social media seemed angry at Collinsworth.

So what happened was that Cris Collinsworth portrayed Wilson during Sunday night's game in a way that made it look like the quarterback was in great shape, similar to his time with the Seahawks. But in reality, Wilson still has a long way to go to prove himself again, especially after the upset in Denver.

Additionally, coach Mike Tomlin's decision to select him over QB2 Justin Fields after his 4-2 record also caused a stir on social media. Therefore, all this excitement has led to anger in the NFL community. And this isn't the first time for the ESPN caller!

When Cris Collinsworth previously discussed the Steelers' ambitions to win a Super Bowl, he brought Russell Wilson into the spotlight. But fans felt it was irrelevant to talk about Wilson's last Super Bowl victory, which came in this game about 11 years ago. It was also irrelevant since Fields was playing QB 1 in the Cowboys game. So the ongoing result of these arguable errors is that fans are angry with the commentator.

NFL fans can't take any more of Cris Collinsworth?

It was a tough night for the game listeners, who heard Cris Collinsworth talking the entire time about the two quarterbacks – Aaron Rodgers and especially Russell Wilson – saying: “Welcome back, Russell Wilson.” All of this, including the dramatic shots and overblown statements, didn't sit well with NFL fans, as one X user wrote: “I'm almost sorry that Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico have to sell Aaron Rogers vs. Russell Wilson as a big matchup like it's 2014 and not 2024.”

Another felt the same way when she wrote: “Cris Collinsworth believes Russell Wilson is still the Russ of 2017 and not the Russ of 2024.” In fact, Rodgers and Wilson were considered great players in the league in 2014 and 2017. But over time, the performances of both quarterbacks have arguably deteriorated.

This is where comments like: “No matter how Cris Collinsworth tries to twist it, Russell Wilson is finished. It was a mistake by Tomlin that sent Fields to the bench with the score at 4-2. Fields has more potential than Wilson at this point,” And “I know Cris Collinsworth is a generational thinker, but this is a new low for him. Russell Wilson wasn't good for FIVE YEARS,“Clearly shows that fans are not happy with Collinsworth's comment. As they said: “Whenever I see Cris Collinsworth on my TV: (a visual GIF of a puppet saying) I can't take it anymore.”

Nonetheless, the Steelers are now up 22-15 against the Jets in the third quarter with 7:15 minutes remaining.
