I thought you would be better then this... This game aside he makes throws each game very very few can make..... He also has the intangibles you can't coach ... H es worth every penny he gets throwing 25 times a game.....
I think you might be misreading me and thinking I'm insulting him.
I'm 100% not insulting him, nor am I saying he doesn't make throws very very few can make (he's the best deep ball passer in the game IMO) or that he doesn't have uncoachable intangibles (although TBF I think that's pretty overrated when it comes to the best players).
One of the reasons QB contracts have skyrocketed is because offenses have increasingly become QB centric.
The Seahawks are winning with a decidedly non-QB centric offense, which I think impacts how much a QB is *worth to the Seahawks*,
now how much Russell Wilson is worth.
In terms of touches they're basically treating him like a rookie. He's down there with Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, and Josh Allen in terms of how much the offense is being run through him.
As a point of comparison, Marcus Mariota's next contract will ALSO be interesting, in that he's kinda like a D-List Russell Wilson (a fairly talented guy instead of an incredibly talented guy, but who COMPARATIVELY is just a smaller part of how his offense tries to win).
Maybe this is the best way to put it:
I think it's 100% obvious that if you put Wilson on the open market as a FA he'd sign the richest QB contract in the NFL, and be worth that contract. The question is if he's worth that contract
to the Seahawks. I think they'll obviously do it, but the offense isn't really designed to have a 30 million plus APY QB at its helm in the way they're currently running it.
