classic NFL move, QB over coach. an organization does not do well that way.

agreed on your points. there are many stories in the NFL where a QB was able to influence the coaching staff through the administration. as for Wilson, i’ve been shaking my head at this organizations choices for several years.

Seattle got a hell of a deal!! Top 3 pick plus all the others and not stuck with a big contract.

I think Russell Wilson’s NFL career is over soon.

Oh, I’m sure their ex-coach is drying his tears with $100 bills right now.

Really? You wish you'd played better for 1 of the only people who's ISN'T paying you? How bout the ownership who shelled out 250m to watch you combust on national television? How bout the millions of fans who paid to watch you screw the pooch week after week? Congrats on torching your HoF chances btw

Us in Seattle wished you handed off that ball to Lynch instead of wanting to be the hero and throwing that horrible interception in the Superbowl.

Can’t play better when you’re mediocre from the get go. All his years in, he’s never been seen as an MVP.

Dolphins fan who moved to Denver, I have felt real bad for these folks dealing with the team the last few years. The ‘fins are not much better in general, but we got used to that disappointment. A winning team that slumps hard fast is just sad

According to Wilson, a few of his other wishes from his press conference:

I wish I was a little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

That’s just patently false but ok. He’s a 9-time pro bowler and he was very much in the running for MVP in 2013 when he lead the Seahawks to a SuperBowl win. He’s been on the decline for a long time, and I’m not saying he’s elite-caliber anymore, but that’s just ridiculous to say he’s been “mediocre from the get-go.”

No but they did lead the league in penalties (coaching), have terrible separation rates (coaching), made repeatedly poor clock management decisions (coaching), had multiple sideline scuffles (coaching), terrible run blocking and scheming (coaching), etc. If everything is on fire, you fire the coach.

Chiefs fan here, can’t wait to see Russ at Arrowhead this Sunday. I remember back to the beginning of the season where pundits like Colin Cowherd were saying this was the end of Reid and Mahomes.

I think mahomes will do more in his career than Russ if he hasn’t already but the chiefs will suffer the same fate as the Seahawks. Mahomes is getting paid now and they won’t be able to afford the o-line and d-line stars that make it all work. Brady had such a long run because he was willing to make less to surround himself with a solid team.

Still on Wilson to make a better throw so it’s either a TD or an incomplete - not a ball that Butler could break and rip from.

As a Seattle fan, this narrative of “should’ve ran the ball” is old, tired and wrong. Wilson needed to make a better throw.

That’s fair mate. I will agree then he’s not mediocre, but like you said, not elite. Being a Pro Bowler is cool, being an MVP is cooler, IMO. I think the Seahawks system propped him up quite well and helped the Broncos get their lunch money took. Anyways, I’m a Fins fan so I barely have any room to talk. Cheers mate.

Hackett wishes you would have played better also Russ!! As do Broncos fans.

It was the only option they had. After their abysmal season one of them had to go. And firing Hackett probably cost them very little financially. Wilson on the other hand is going to cost them the same money over the next 3 years if they keep him or cut him. So might as well try to make it work.

This whole deal was insane. Did the Broncos not watch Seattle the last two years ? Was clear as day Wilson was on the decline

I didn't watch alot of Broncos but it was pretty evident from game one, the coach was in over his head. It might be alleviating Russ of some of the blame, but he definitely was an awful coach all year and deserved to be fired.

Which is dumb. We passed because it was second down, the clock was running with 24 seconds left, and we had 1 timeout, and Marshawn was about 30% from the goal line that year.

If we ran it we would have had to burn our last timeout, forcing pass then run for the next 2 plays.

I feel like there’s a world where Russ played bad to get a new head coach, I would think Sean Payton had something in mind since he’s a great offensive minded coach

Replying to westernsociety (#1,152,250)

Honestly I think it's fair to take some of the blame off Russell and put it on the coach. It's hard to overstate how important confidence is to how well someone plays, and when a coach can't give their players confidence in the system they're running that affects all aspects of the game.

On the other hand, part of being a professional is dealing with that and a QB also has to give confidence to the offense so Russ definitely deserves at least some flak, but the whole operation was such a shit show it's hard to say anything for sure until we see them next year.

You must not understand defensive alignment. Belichick had 8 in the box, preparing for a run. Earlier in the season Marshawn faced the same goal line situation and fumbled away at the 1. Also, the clock was running, Belichick didn’t call a time out, and running the ball while not making it would’ve killed the game too. Wilson needed the place the ball better. Butler also just made a ridiculous play and hats off there.

First of all, you’re fucking stupid for thinking Russ called that play. Second of all, the whole fanbase is a bunch of back stabbing bitches for forgetting what this dude did for your franchise and city. Third round pick who did nothing but win football games including a damn Super Bowl. Then gets you 2 firsts and 2 second round picks in compensation on the way out. Never got in trouble and played the game the right way. And you hate the guy because he’s cringey? Because he doesn’t give Marshawn Lynch his cell number?
