Art Thiel is nutz! Answer for Art: “Uh No!”
You get lucky and find a franchise QB and you ride with your guy. Just as long as you can, you ride that guy.
Wilson still has lots to learn, but he certainly has that “it” when the chips are down. Now if he’d just throw the freaking ball away when there is nothing there instead of trying to make something out of nothing. There he needs different coaching and he still needs to work on getting better at his craft. Playing stronger earlier and getting leads earlier needs to be focus for him, that said he’s a special player and easily the best QB the Seahawks have ever had. I can’t imagine the total fan revolt that would happen if he was traded, even for the first OA pick the fourth OA pick and the 33rd OA pick. None of this picks absolutely guarantees the team gets a true franchise QB.
He needs support from an OLine that can give him time to throw from the pocket and from the gun. He needs a running game to make play action possible and to make the D respect the run so he has differing options. He needs a different OC who forces him to be responsible, and he needs some different WRs who can consistently and reliably get open, besides DB. Finally he needs TE that is a real TE, one that can block and can catch too, and one who doesn’t disappear when the thumping starts.
I wonder if some of these media guys are serious or whether this is click bait they can point to when their ratings are in question. Thiel likes controversy.
