What will Russell Wilson do once he gets paid


User Name

Recommended Posts

I don't see him playing the same, he takes as many kill shot hits as anyone in the NFL he's like a undersized prize fighter that keeps getting up after a roundhouse, amazes me he just keeps getting up (Rocky theme playing in my head). I'm not doubting his heart, just anticipating like a lot of running backs seem to do his brain will kick, in and he'll begin protecting himself, and without the tenacity he's just average.

Never understand the hate here for other young QBs. Luck, Wilson, and Cam will be slugging it out for years to come and it will be fun to watch.

Luck and Wilson are studs and there isn't anything wrong with saying this.

Probably like today.

 

Yeah the Packers have them figured out (not like it's a secret), but Russell keeps plugging and damned if I haven't seen him pull this type of game out (not that he will today). In 13 the Panthers beat the absolute sh!t out of him and he just kept coming back. Anyway I just don't see how he can keep coming in with his lunch pale once he has money in the bank. Not worth it to a guy that was torn between football and baseball a few years ago.

To be clear I'm not hating, I'm a quasi State fan and have much respect for Russell. Just wondering if he can play this style of football much longer.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
