I’m very confused by this take.
“Wanted to be something he is not” how so? Wilson has proven over and over again he can put up huge numbers in games if given the chance, and has some of the highest stats of all QBs in the last decade, especially considering how often he was sacked compared to other QBs.
Also, “burned down the kitchen”? How? Yes, we did give a concerted effort to “let Russ cook” for the first half of the season. However, the moment that faltered, Pete went back to Pete ball. We aren’t talking half a season of faltering, we are talking 1 or 2 games Wilson had a slump. That is not “burning the kitchen down”. Mahomes, Rodgers, basically all other QBs in an offensive system NOT from the 1970s are given way more of a leash than RW even was.
If you want to talk about “burning down the kitchen”, talk about Bevells endless bubble screens, schottys incredibly drawn out route concepts, Pete’s INCREDIBLY conservative and outdated systems.
We are all focusing on the wrong thing, cuz it’s gonna look real dumb booing Wilson and giving him that extra juice to beat us by 50 instead of 30. We are talking about being a 4 win team here. Calm down with the booing.
Anybody on here who had to be a QB under PC would have escaped a long time ago.
