Meh. Time to get over it and move on John. You have your opinion, others have theirs. This horse has been dead for a long while. Russ talk is not really worth it anymore. You won't budge, they won't budge.
Russ isn't perfect man, he needs to play better, period. I suspect he will have a hell of a season. But that's my OPINION. It IS ok that others don't agree with it and/or just refuse to accept the guy.
For the most part, I've just kind of grown tired of talking about the same things over and over again.
Facts don't seem to matter, so why waste all your energy? Some hate the guy, some love the guy, some refuse to acknowledge what he has done. It has been a hell of a run. If they move on from him, so be it. I think it would be beyond stupid, but........if they get a haul, they need to consider it.
I think most here even if they do not like Wilson for whatever reasons, will admit, Wilson has been the best QB this franchise has ever had.
However, this NFC West has been stellar for some time with 3 teams contending to win the division every year and then beat most teams from other divisions in the playoffs.
Seattle has to do all it can to win.
Unfortunately, people look at current and recent trends to project a teams outlook.
Seattle has been struggling to become an NFC elite team since 2013/2014.
And the division continued to improve.
I think Stafford is likely to take a “discount” over Wilson is likely to take a “discount.”
Stafford came from Detroit and now he has experience winning and he loves LA over Detroit (who wouldn’t) he’s not likely to command or want such a high salary cause he loves the Rams and he wants to stay winning.
Stafford’s career earnings are likely to keep him grounded and stay with the team first mindset, and I don’t think Wilson is like that. Wilson wants to be paid again and again.
Seattle will struggle to win (with Carroll’s recipe) if Wilson is paid again top 3 or 5 QB.
Moving on from Wilson has to be considered even if Wilson has been the best QB ever in a Seattle uniform.
