Whether the OL holds blocks for 0.5 seconds or 3.5 seconds, Wilson is going to try to extend plays looking for opportunity which puts him into the circumstances in which he was injured last season.
Keep in mind the initial injury was one of the very few true accidents in Suh's career, and the subsequent one came on an illegal horsecollar tackle.
I agree that we need to protect him for the sake of his career longevity, but by the same token we can't wrap him up in cotton balls without ruining the very thing that makes him a special QB.
Which also makes it even more likely he won't have a particularly long NFL career.
3-4 more seasons?
A slower RW is a far less capable one and time and weight are already working against him.
3-4 more healthy seasons and another Super Bowl, though?
I'll take it.
3-4 more years for Russell? Where did that come from? He has never missed a game due to injury and has proven to be an effective pocket passer when needed. Hell Vick played to 37 and was still running more than Russell did. Sorry, I think you are out of luck on that call.
