Own The West":26nr2fxv said:If anyone thinks we're a playoff team without Wilson, then great, let's go find a scrapheap vet to manage games in his absence.
Obviously, Seattle would be screwed if our starting QB went on IR tomorrow, but that's really true for every contending team. The true purpose of a backup QB isn't to make the starter irrelevant, it's to help save a season that could be torpedoed when a QB misses just a few games. Let's say Wilson gets nicked up and misses say, four games during the regular season. Seattle might miss the playoffs if they go 0-4 in those games. Or they might be just fine if they have a backup who gets them to 2-2.
I'm a Boykin fan, but I don't feel great about him breaking even in his starts right now. Hopefully next year he will be at that level.
