I don't think he will outwardly say anything though. If anything, he will say all the right things to the media, take personal responsibility, then something in the offseason will happen and it will leak "from someone in Russ' Camp" that Russ was livid and hated ____ and it was all _____'s fault.

This article from a few years ago talks about how the seahawks never formed a dynasty, and at the heart of it was the way that Wilson received special treatment: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/09/07/seattle-seahawks-dismantling-rift-russell-wilson-pete-carroll This article from the offseason goes into some good detail: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34531802/inside-russell-wilson-seattle-seahawks-drama-led-denver-broncos-trade A few nuggets: The rest goes on to explain how he was talking out of both sides of his mouth about loving seattle and trying to be traded at the same time. Very Two-faced behavior. Other examples: ^ Wilson can't be reached directly from his teammates, they have to go through his manager The whole "Broncos country, Let's ride" thing all season and how unauthentic and manufactured it seems. Mr. Unlimited: When he was injured last year, he made sure all the cameras were on him and saw him working out before games and then he made sure he stood by Pete Carroll all game so they could see him. His outwardly Christian persona also seems to rub people the wrong way since he makes it a known part of his identity. Instead of walking the walk, he makes sure to talk about all the walking he does with it, if that makes sense? His Toxic Positivity also seems to be an issue. The fact that he's always "Up" and never shows any outward signs of frustration/emotion, and is always being "Rah Rah" makes him seem robotic and not human. His overall lack of self awareness. I saw a Seahawk fan describe Wilson as "A walking brand". Everything he says and does feels so calculated, unauthentic, and scripted. He's not a bad person, by any means, he just seems to be fake, corny, and attention seeking while acting like he's not. I don't personally hate Rus, I just think he has a large Ego, pretends that he doesn't, and isn't as good as he thinks he is. He's also a little bit weird and robotic.

Oh dude, I absolutely loved Wilson coming out of BYU. Loved me some Carson Strong this past year too. Wasn't a fan of Herbert that year he came out. Didn't necessarily want Cam either. Basically my opinions of QBs suck and no one should listen to me.

Fixed for reality.

The Raven's Defense stuffed our entire run game, not just Foreman. Chuba did himself no favors and played a bad game on top of playing a good defense. Can we all agree that Chuba shouldn't even be on the roster?

It's actually the opposite. Sam was one of the worst QBs in the league when he was not under pressure. He just happened to be even worse when he was under pressure.

I started to watch this then realized I don't care about anything he has to say. He is no longer our problem.

I really like Young's game. I'd take him over Stroud and Levis.

Cousins is pretty good. They just beefed the contract becuase their ownership on down is incompetent.

Now's the time to double dip at QB then. Take one in the first then take Hooker in the 4th or 5th for shits and gigs a-la the Redskins back in 12 with Griffin and Cousins.

Guys, he's really, really not good. Our depth Safeties are better than him. He also has a reputation of torpedoing his body with reckless abandon and injuring teammates because he has no control. So unless you want to see him dive at Chinn's or Horn's knees trying to make a tackle and knocking them out for the rest of the season, you don't want him.

It's fun to look back and see opinions of old: Not bad in hindsight. I agree that McDermott might not have been ready at that point, still he has proven to be a hell of a HC.

Current top choices in order: Steichen - OC Eagles Waldron - OC Seahawks Moore - OC Cowboys Ryans - DC 49ers Dorsey - OC Bills Gannon - DC Eagles Johnson - OC Lions @Mr. Scot I look forward to your future HC Candidate thread

Happy to see more jumping on the bandwagon with me. The Leftwich crowd is awfully quiet these days...

Falcons are in the best shape at the moment. Arthur Smith is showing his worth as a HC and if given a franchise QB, they could run the division for the next decade plus. IF we get a good HC and franchise QB this upcoming draft, we're in a better position to take the Division Reigns moving forward. Bucs will be a dumpster fire without Brady and the Saints are going to go back to being the aints due to their cap issues and lack of coach.

We could be getting sprung for young. Really depends on where we land in the tankathon.

Pasqualoni was my least favorite offseason hire. Dude's resume was below average at best.

I see we are approaching "Mel Kiper is an idiot season". As someone who absolutely loves the draft, I don't hate Mel. Mel helped make the NFL draft the spectacle it is. He's no more wrong or right than any other draft pundit out there. He was just the first. What he says is not gospel and is just his opinion. I will take in what he says and compare his notes and opinions to other draft guys to better shape my own opinion of prospects. It's ok to either agree or disagree with him. Doesn't mean you or him are stupid if the player ends up good or bad, just that you, like many, many GMs, are often wrong in the crapshoot that is the NFL draft.

Objectively speaking, we came out pretty good with the assets we gained from trading him. It just hurt more than other trades because CMC was like the lone bright spot on the team this year, and he was an elite talent at his position. It's always hard to let those guys go.

we need a franchise QB NOW. a first round pick two years from now does not help us immediately.

That happens A LOT.

My biggest worry is that he is competent enough to be retained, we blow our chances at a franchise QB in the draft and we get Rivera 2.0 as a HC with no back to back winning seasons and years of musical chairs in the QB room until he's fired.

Exactly. He generally comes back and plays the next week, but he gets hurt and leaves a ton of games early.
