Russell Wilson sightings

[chris98251]

Pete was the catalyst in putting Wilson in a protection bubble, his personality took it as he was above the rest of the team, why the dysfunctional environment festered to it's final conclusion, Russell thought he was elevated to the point he could call the shots on GM and Coach.

As a on the field player yes, he was instrumental, also why instead of Lynch he had that final play. Bevell called his number and not the bell cow back. There is nothing to prove this, but placating Wilsons desire and Ego to be MVP of the Superbowl.

As Russell's career comes to a close, I hope that our fan base can forgive him for some of the mistakes he's made, like lying to us about his intentions, lobbying to get Pete fired, going on national TV and throwing his OL under the bus ("I'm getting hit too much.") etc. He also has a lot of human flaws, like being a camera hog, makes cringy remarks, can exhibit a very dishonest and patronizing personality. Us 12's are very justified in booing him, rooting against him, referring to him in some very uncomplimentary terms as we have over the past few years. He's deserved every negative comment we've made towards him.

But there are worse people on this planet. He didn't rape anybody's daughter or mug someone's grandma. Personally, if I'm in the crowd when they induct him into our ROH, I won't cheer madly because he's a long way from being one of my favorite Hawks. Rather, I'll stand and politely applaud, as one might do for a conductor of an orchestra. I hope that my friends in this forum will do the same. After all, he was a major part of our only Lombardi and a major player in the biggest era of Seahawk football in the history of our franchise.

Please don't interpret my remarks as a lecture. It's just my humble opinion.

Everything in the your first paragraph is infuriating as a fan, but not unheard of, and players have returned to teams and been introduced into their ring of honour and HOF for similar.

He lost any respect I had when he used his charity to enrich himself rather than actually being charitable. I'm still not sure how this wasn't punishable by law.

I don't want him to be straight booed at his ROF induction, but I hope he gets very tepid applause that is absolutely dwarfed by the reception the other LOB-era guys get.

I also think he should be let in last among that group. It'd be even funnier if we're playing the Patriots that week.

If it were up to me, the only way Russell Wilson would ever get back into our stadium is if he bought a ticket. I don't wish him harm, but he's not worthy of being welcomed back.

You wrote "ROF," so I just want to check you meant the Seahawks Ring of Honor (RoH or ROH).

I want to clarify this because while Wilson absolutely deserves a place in the Seahawks RoH, the only way he will be getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (HoF or HOF) is if he pays the $45.95 admission fee like any one of us (military, vets, first responders, and seniors get discounts, but Wilson is none of those).

Don't worry. He'll get his foundation to do so.

 

[chris98251]

God has a plan you know, it's have someone make a bust of him and he will smuggle it in to the HOF, his clothing company will make Gold Jacket for him and there will be a Tik Tok announcment that he made it.

He learned from the best..Tavares Jackson..

Here, Russ has ditched the Me3 Brand for the crucifix he didn’t wear while promoting it.

When he first did this in Seattle at the children's hospital...I said wow what a guy..he's legit...but over time up even to those awful Subway commercials and posing with that wife of his ..I realized man ...it's all a show...his sincerity is followed by dollars signs..nothing more.

 

[chris98251]

Now off active roster and emergency QB on the Bench, probably still wearing his helmet, hmmm you get it yet Russell?

Actually Luke Wilson corroborated your take to a degree. Although it seemed it was more like a Bev and Russ vs the LOB in that the defense was continuously critical of the offense - primarily the QB play and by proxy, play calling. Lynch and ADB were more LOB than not. If you read between the lines of what Like said, that rift may have led to a play being called that they'd rarely run, vs one (running Lynch) that they'd practiced again and again.

Makes sense when you think about it. bevell had been hearing it from the defense all year. Now, in the SB, it was the D that was floundering and his and Wilson's passing game that would be responsible for bringing them back and winning. I am sure that for Bevell (maybe more than Wilson) it was about cementing his status as a leader on the team and the one responsible for delivering the team it's 2nd SB - the first one was largely credited to the D. Him giving Lynch the ball was essentially playing to the narrative that it was Lynch (remember, the run game was coordinated by Cable, not Bevell) and the defense that made the Hawks what they were.

That rings a bit truer to me than Bevell or Pete wanting Russ to be the hero. Nuanced differences but in the end, yeah, it was Russ, not Lynch that needed to have the ball in his hands and Bevell, not Cable that would be hailed the hero.

So lame that we lost a Super Bowl over selfishness

I have always maintained we got cute to win Russ the mvp. That's on Pete too not just Bevell.

 

[Palmegranite]

So lame that we lost a Super Bowl over selfishness

Because the Superbowl is traditionally one play, winner take all.

(and a halftime show).
