All the broadcasters pooh pooh's Russell Wilson's abilities, until contract talks come along. Then the truth comes out that "Hey, Russell Wilson is an ELITE QB!" And a pocket passer! Who can play well without Marshawn Lynch and the #1 Defense! Go figure.
But now they're forced to admit the truth, else every other NFL article wouldn't be about RW's upcoming contract, and they wouldn't be saying this:
The highest-rated passer in NFL history (103.1 career passer rating) is also, fittingly, the highest-paid player in NFL history ... for now. Seahawks star Russell Wilson is entering the final season of his current contract, meaning the baton for QB contracts should be passed along soon. Rodgers received $66.9 million in the first year of an extension that included the largest signing bonus in NFL history ($57.5 million).
