The What's Wrong With Russell Wilson Thread

There are going to be 1,000 of these this week. Please vent your frustration here.

He has been off for the last 5-6 weeks. He also seems very reluctant to keep it on the read option nowadays even when they bight hard down on Marshawn.

He needs a haircut!

Yes, please limit it to this one thread.

Keep it a good discussion or threads will be locked and warnings will be issued. REMEMBER, we WON.

Ever since the 49ers game, his deep ball and accuracy have been mostly nonexistent.

Thank goodness we have the beast.

Bevell is part of the issue but Wilson is playing horrible!

He's missing guys and making weird decisions on the read option. He looks pretty terrible, to be honest.

At least he's not turning the ball over.

So two missed passes implies something wrong. But whatever...

Pete needs to tell him it's OK to take the wide open running lane instead of waiting for a receiver to get open.

Bevell has an offensive playbook all of 2 pages long, there always seems to be multiple defenders freely running with a full head of steam towards Russell, and our wide recievers suck bad. The offense looked alright with Percy in, as soon as he was out it was back to the same crap we've witnessed the last few weeks. No need to respect our other recievers, they suck.

I get so pissed, when a play breaks down, the wr's are supposed to improvise, but half the time they're all just giving up and standing around, with maybe one guy still trying to get open for Russ.

LOST: Seattle passing game, if found please return to Pete Carroll.

ok i'll start with why the hell are we even running a read option? it just delays marshawn from a extra split second of burst when you don't run just a traditional power run up the middle. unless i'm off and every read option call is really a designed run to lynch, cause Russ doesn't even think about running even when the defender from the end is closing down on lynch and he should pull it out of marshawn's chest and go. i have no idea what he is "reading" on these, and when you watch it in slow motion it's even more painful cause you watch him give it to marshawn for a 2-3 yd gain when he could have kept and outrun the only possible defender on the edge for a minimum of 6, obviously possibly more.

Any chance he has a small injury to his throwing shoulder or arm?

this...?

he appears to have happy feet?

He's been off, but he's still Russell Wilson, and he did well when it mattered.

Here is whats wrong with RW, who is playing just miserably right now...

Overanalysis

The guy just refuses to trust anything he sees and when he does decide to act, there is so much hesitation and a lack of confidence. Paralysis by analysis. He needs to let it loose.

Thankfully, next week will most likely be a 14-10 type game. It all boils down to which QB will make key plays in that one. Hopefully RW figures it out and hope to God that Percy gets cleared to play.

He has receivers that can't get open.

Yes I saw the pass he missed on the scramble, but he's being forced to play a very tight game.

Yeah, didn't understand why he never kept it on the RO. Almost like the option isn't one, just implied to fake a defender.

RW's worshipers excuses:
1) Bad O - line
2) Receivers don't get separation.
3) Bevel's Play Calling.

IMO, the line has been pretty good. If He is expecting a brick wall 5 yards beyond the line, that ain't gana happen.

Receiver have been getting open as shown by replays and other video evidence.

Bevel had been annoying last few weeks, but today he wasn't at fault. What can he do when RW can't hit a 5 yard slant?

The problem with RW is that he thinks too much rather than just going with the flow. He doesn't stay in the pocket and doesn't trust his OL and tries to to be heroic and run around.. His style works once here and there, but it's holding the offense back. There won't be a Beast and a defense like this for him always. He needs to watch Brees, how he goes up in the pocket and doesn't panic.
