Russ turned a lot of people off, especially as he left town.Walter Jones held out every year for pretty much his entire career.
Kenny Easley wouldn't step foot inside the Hawk's facilities for the better part of 25 years because he thought the Hawks ruined his career.
Lots of the players on the SB winning Hawk's defense you give credit to left Seattle unhappy, and criticized, held out and were outwardly pissed off on the way out the door.
You excluding all these guys?
Russ was nothing but a model citizen while playing in Seattle. Donated his time and money to lots of great charities in Seattle, and was the face of our franchise for a decade. Just because he wanted out doesn't make him unique to just about how any other player eventually leaves a team.
That's pro sports, it RARELY ends well. No reason not to include the greatest QB in franchise history who holds all the teams passing records, and most importantly helped bring us our first Lombardi in the ROH.
IMO that's just being petty.
I respect your view although I'm not completely in agreement with it. #8 was a master of getting the ball out quickly and didn't drop back , panic and start running around in circles like someone else. I could argue that #3 brought at least some of the protection issues on himself, the line never knew where he'd be , making protecting him difficult.Matt hasselbeck in his prime gets murdered behind that 2012-2014 OL. Wilson’s escapability was what kept the offense afloat.
Russ has a charity? HmmmmmRuss turned a lot of people off, especially as he left town.
Although you and I may not feel that way, others are certainly welcome to their opinions.
Insinuating pettiness or calling it out in your opinion of an opinion is hardly the neighborly thing to say.
Come on Aros don't conflate what I said. Read what I said, I never said he had "nothing" to do with but you have to admit any QB could have won that SB. Sure he helped the team get there, but he was not the REASON they won the SB, he was a big reason why they lost one.Good lord man. One of the most foolish narratives I have ever heard is "Russell Wilson won the Super Bowl because of their running game and legendary defense" as if the man had NOTHING to do with them getting there. What an insult to an incredible talent.

From .com:I don't think the way Russ left should have ANY barring on him being rightfully included into the ROH. Sure, the divorce sucked but that doesn't negate the several years he was a dominant player in this league and incredibly fun to watch. His pirouettes, escapability, the prettiest deep balls in the league...He was magic. I will never, ever forget his contributions to our team and anyone that says he shouldn't be in the ROH is simply butthurt, period, end of story.
I respect your opinion Aros always have. But a divorce can be nice or nasty.I don't think the way Russ left should have ANY barring on him being rightfully included into the ROH.

Don’t forget Kam. He still hangs around the team and was the literal BOOM.Wagner and Sherman will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and both were big contributors to the Seahawks' best seasons and first Lombardi, so I think it's pretty clear both should be in the Seahawks RoH.
ThisI respect your opinion Aros always have. But a divorce can be nice or nasty.
I would never invite my first wife to anything after she cheated on me, left me raising two boys on my own, and cheated with her own sisters husband. You can call it butt hurt, I am way past that, I call it not a person I would want to honor.
She might have been good for the first 5 years but her last 2 years destroyed her legacy and our marriage and 2 little boys and proved she was a narcissist who only cared about herself above the family.
Your saying I should Honor my wife because of her first 5 years and totally disregard what she did in that last 2 to destroy a family.
RW did the same ,not butt hurt , just taking the whole time into perspective. Yes I had the biggest man crush on RW for the first 5 years and thank him for his contribution but the last 5 soured it. Yes he helped the team a lot but he hurt the team a lot. We will never know, but looking back on it, the Hawks weren't bad because of the HC the OC the OL etc etc but rather a QB who IMHO was about himself and dragged the team down.
All this thread is about opinion, everyone is allowed theirs. The question was who deserves to be in the RoH, everyone will say this person and that person, but as @Aircrew so eloquently said it I don't believe he should be allowed to tarnish the ring.
I'm butthurt.I don't think the way Russ left should have ANY barring on him being rightfully included into the ROH.

I recommend A&D ointment.I'm butthurt.
