These threads about Wilson cause me to wonder if there isn’t a secret quiet and and unspoken desire of many here to offload Wilson for a gigantic haul of chances for the team to acquire another franchise type QB. So what’s happening here as a result is some perverse Maddenesque dreaming about just what the team could get for while at the same time hands are being wrung about what a mistake it’d be to trade him. I think trading him would be a huge mistake but things can’t go on with a feud between the HC and the team’s offensive captain. Statistically 3/5 of all 1st round QBs bust and scoring after the first round is a ridiculously hard to do. Truly finding a franchise QB is not any easy thing to do and letting him get away is a very foolish mistake. Wilson going public is a serious breach of the primary rule of Pete’s team building directives of always protecting the team. An accommodation needs to be found or sadly they need to part company.
I truly hate this because this player has until now been my favourite Seahawks player. I was over the moon when he was drafted and suffered as he did the read option thing and was Benny Hill like in avoiding pass rushes as a rookie QB. Wilson has grown as a QB but still has his weaknesses and some amazing strengths.He needs more support as teams figure out his escape moves and scheme for them. This situation saddens me as I figured RW would be lifetime Seahawk now it seems he wants out and there seemingly isn’t much apparent communication going on. I say apparent as in typical fashion the team normally remains silent over this kind of situation. I hope I’m wrong and this blows over. It’d be nice to see Russell and Pete reach a new rapport over the direction of the O.
Schneider has said where the bidding starts and it’d have to be more than he said and even then with the more it likely wouldn’t enough. If the trade happens this year only the Jets and the Dolphin have the draft pick ammo to do it and still I’m not happy about the thought of a trade, without even factoring in the dead cap consequences. Three way trades are extraordinarily rare and hugely unlikely in this cap environment.
We all need to think carefully about what this trade would do to the team whether it’d be a negative or could work out to the advantage long term. I hate the idea of trading this player. However, as I repeatedly say, time will tell on this matter.
What is your true choice trade or keep? Please be honest.
