"He's not going anywhere!" the famously mild-mannered scribe said.
Asked why the rumors persist, Clayton didn't mince words.
"Bad reporting, nationwide. ... He's only said four times he wants to finish his career here in Seattle. What more does he need to say? And if you trade him, you're now one of the worst teams in football.""

Well John Clayton also thought Wilson wasn't a top 5 or even maybe barely top 10 QB at the start of his career. He thought Luck and RG III were way better than Wilson so... sometimes even professors make mistakes.
I'm pretty sure Clayton thought Wilson was not even a top 10 QB in his first 2 seasons.
He wasn't top 10 until at least 2015/2016.
Luck was better than Wilson, just didn't have the support system.
Wilson is vastly superior now than when he was a young QB, yet the Seahawks can't move past the divisional round since he was a 2nd year player.
What gives?
