Once again as I have factual proven it has bot been 1.5 years of bad play. And in fact there have been large chunks of elite play. However some have taken on the false narrative that he has not played well or had periods of elite play. But the facts clearly show he has had perused of very good and even elite play over the last 1.5 years.
I know that, to some degree, responding to you regarding anything about Russell Wilson is an exercise in futility because of your uncritical fealty to the man, but here goes anyway:
You haven't 'factually' proven anything. I've watched every game for the last I don't know how many years. Quoting numbers to me (often out of context and without critical discussion) doesn't 'prove' anything. And I'm not sayng Russell has had no good games in the last year and a half but having a good game here or there does not make you elite.
He has not been 'elite' for a season and a half, regardless of the one or two good games he's had in that timeframe.

(1) goes back to at least 2018.
(2) has been the case since he got hurt in 2016.
Which leaves (3) as the whole issue as (1) and (2) are not only coming back soon, but have been steadily deterioriating and continue to deteriorate. Which means that (3) cannot be sustained even if the finger miraculously heals to a real 100 percent.
1.) His overreliance on those plays goes back that long but defenses consistently deploying Cover-2 (and more specifically a disguised Cover-2) has only been a main issue since last season. In other words, he got away with that stuff until recently.
2.) Yeah, but here again, he still had enough of a step to make it work on scramble drills. He stopped reading keep for awhile now but he still had the elusiveness. Recently, he doesn't have that step either.
So, yeah, the seeds for those issues started well before the last year and a half but they've only consistently started biting Russell in the butt recently.
That said, I pretty much agree that these are likely to remain issues in the future, no matter what team he is on....
