I don't blame him. Quality of life after football is now a huge factor for these players and you can't argue against them protecting themselves for a relatively healthy future
He was a scout team QB at VT when I was there and working for the team. Got moved to corner after day 1 (he looked scared shitless against the first team defense). The rest was history.
Looks like theyll be picking in the top 5 next year. Surprised no one is writing about how terrible their roster is.
Russell Wilson is a great Qb .. he will drag that roster to 7-8 wins
He might but he doesnt have a defense to lean on and he has two viable receiving options in Baldwin and Lockett. No help came along the OL for them this off-season.
I dont think hes as good as many believe, but if he wills them to 7-8 wins that would be truly remarkable. I personally think hell have a bad year statistically boosted by a few shootouts.
Without that great defense to bail him out we will see the real
The offense that was ranked higher than the defense and led by a QB with a 3:1 TD/Int, who passed for a shade under 4K and rushed for a shade under 600?
RE: Without that great defense to bail him out we will see the real
You sound like someone who hasn't actually watched Russell Wilson at all recently. He was a legitimate MVP candidate last year and it had nothing to do with the defense,
The word great fail to be subjective?
Wilson is very good in my opinion. 'Great' for me is usually reserved HOF worthy candidates, which I don't feel Wilson is right now.

That's just semantics. I could just as easily say that HOF-worthy can be described by "historic" or "all-time" or - get this - "HOF-worthy."
To play with no OL and fairly middling skill position players and still be as productive as Wilson has been, qualifies - to me - as great. Understandably, if your standard for what the word itself represents is different than mine, we'll see it differently. My point was more toward what I interpreted as the suggestion that Wilson is overrated in some fashion, but it could be simply that it's a matter of how one defines "great."
- Career QB rating of 98+
- 161 Passing TDs vs 56 Int in first 96 games
- Add another 16 Rushing TDs and over 3,200 yards rushing
- Led team to playoffs in 5 of 6 years playing (missed last year with an awful 9-7 record)
- Career Regular Season W-L Record of 65-30-1
- Playoff W-L Record 8-4 with QB Rating of 94+
- NEVER missed a start in career (and he kind of runs a lot)
If Wilson has not played great in his first 6 years, then let me know who has...
If he retired, the Seahawks would be off the hook

Wilson is far from a GREAT QB, imo, but your point is well taken. Throw Pete Carroll in there as well

Disagree. He's repeatedly shown the ability to win games when the supporting cast was contributing next to nothing.

I don't think you're very familiar with Russel Wilson's ability level.

I'm not sure if you might be out hiking while Seattle plays, but Wilson is absolutely a great QB.

Didn't know I was being judged for years either. Let me know where i missed the mark...

- Led team to playoffs in 5 of 6 years playing (missed last year with an awful 9-7 record)
