1. This is nonsense.
2. Wilson is an exceptional QB.
3. If the Seahawks want to run an offense that requires their QB to complete 65% of their 25 pass attempts per game for about 215 yards per game, they simply don't need to spend 30 million plus per year at the QB position to get that. They don't even need to spend half of that, and probably don't even need to spend a third of that.
I think they absolutely will, and writing this is NOT IN ANY WAY A KNOCK on Russell Wilson (read #2 again), but if that's really what they want from the QB position and they could get an absolute haul for Wilson (which they could, again see #2), sheesh man, if I were them and all I cared about was winning I'd have to seriously consider that.
(Note 1: "But what about his 35 TD passes from last year that you're leaving out?" I'm leaving that out because it's an outlier that's unsustainable. We know it's unsustainable because it's a top 25 TD % for a season for a QB, and in the history of the NFL there's only one QB who has had more than one top 25 TD % seasons, and they had two. The story here is that you can be best the QB in the history of the NFL, and in your career you're gonna be in the Top 25 on that metric for one season or zero seasons.
Note 2: "But what about that other subjective or unmeasured factor that you're leaving out?" Yep, totally, that may be valid and may be not valid. As something that's subjective or unmeasured anyone and everyone is free to weight or not weight that thing however they'd like. While true, it doesn't make for the best back-and-forth, because it's like trying to figure out who's right about what the best favorite color is.)
