Rivera said countless times we so or have drafted Russell Wilson as a backup. Imagine ripple effect.

I know this isn't a news story, it's very slow news cycle this time of year so I thought I would post this because it's just fun. It's no secret that Ron has said we pretty much would have drafted Wilson to be Cam's backup of he was avaliable. Just imagine how huge that would have been and the ripple effect it would have had on the NFL.

The landscape would have been entirely different. I mean DIFFERENT! I'm talking, Back To the Future 2, alternate 1985 with rich Biff different.

Would have Wilson looked so good in camp and pre season would be have took Cam's place? Would we have traded Cam? Or would we have traded Wilson?! If so, to which team?!

Without Wilson in Seattle do we win all three of our games against them the last three seasons thus altering the entire NFC rankings those years?!

You have to admit, thinking about the million different outcomes is fun, what do you see being the likeliest outcome had we drafted Wilson?!

Seattle has had a LOADED team the past three years, they would have probably dominated regardless

 

Dominated? They haven't dominated us under Cam/Rivera once. Without Wilson I bet we have a significantly better shot at beating them each time. Really no reason to talk about it though.

The whining on here would be epic if Doug Baldwin was Cam's #1 with Jermaine Kearse as the #2. Regardless of how good our defense was people would be screaming for better weapons. Whenever Wilson is discussed his defense is mentioned as a weapon for him, I don't remember the same for Cam last year when we had the #2 defense, or even this year when our defense carried us the second half of the year. It's OK to give other quarterbacks credit for what they do without having to try to diminish it every way possible to make Cam look better by comparison.

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Very much true. Truth is Cam has had weapons since he's been here, better than some other QBs. However, Wilson still remains a poor pocket QB shielded by his team. Remember Golden Tate? Well he's tearing it up in DET. Fans always want to blame everyone else but the QB.

I don't think anyone would be complaining about the magical-ass catches Baldwin and Kearse make out of freakin nowhere, name power or not.

Wilson's receivers are criminally underrated.

thank you.

 

as for RW being on this team. There is no way he would have even been given close to a chance of starting over Cam in 2012 after Cam's GOAT rookie year.

 

That said it would have been nice to show him off in preseason and possibly get a trade for him.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
