I have a question for those that feel like they want to boo Wilson. If you feel compelled to boo, were you also in the camp the past couple of years with those that wanted him gone? If the answer to this is yes, I totally don't get it. If you are willing to boo him because he is no longer a Seahawk, isn't that what you wanted and should therefore cheer that hes not a Seahawk. Just wondering about peoples mindset on this.
I've never boo'd a player and didn't think that I'd ever want to, but in this situation, I feel differently. It isn't classy or nice, but it's my opinion.
I'm not irked that he left (because people change) but it's his behaviour and play the two previous years that have my panties in a bunch.
He HAD to have that big contract, but his performance dropped off after he got it. From an economic stand point, I didn't think his on field pressence equaled what we gave up to keep him happy. Meanwhile us frustrated fans were wondering what was going on...
I assessed his indifference to being distracted but I now think he just wasn't intersted. He was paid to be engaged but didnt make much of an effort while having the nerve to draw fire on to his teammates.
I think that he's ungrateful. As much as he did for the Seahawks, he got equal (or more) in return. What if h'e been drafted by a different team? Would he sitll have his ring? The WP Man of the Year - which the Seahawks nominated him twice for - plus the opportunity to show his skills on national TV so often? It was a two way street and he benefited greatly. Yet, I feel like he's re-writing history to make himself out to be the hero.
His exit out of Seattle was lightning quick too. If he loved the city as much as he indicated in his pressers, why does it appear that he couldn't wait to leave? Another of his constant lip service topics contridicting his actions....
So, yes, he would be the first - and probably only - performer I would boo.
