Does anyone think Russell Wilson is going to get his act together because he's so influenced and inspired by DeMeco Ryans? 

Now ask yourself the same question with Sean Payton inserted there.

What if the problem is that Russ thinks he's A. A. Ron, but he's not?

At least with Payton, the franchise won't have the excuse of first time coach with deer in the headlights look to dismiss any failings by the franchise QB.

I think Russ is 100% living in an alternate reality and whatever he thinks he is - well - he ain't that.

Which is why I think whomever is appointed the task of introducing him to his real self and making something good out of that again will need to have Wilson's respect in a big way. 
In this regard, Payton likely has a better shot at this ridiculous endeavor than does Ryans. 

No disrespect to Ryans. He may be 100% worthy of all of our respect just as much as Payton is for all I know.
I'm just factoring in the celebrity mind fog of Wilson and presuming he will be more receptive to Payton's tutelage given his resumé.
