I wouldn't touch that situation with a ten foot pole.

The guy wins football games and has literally never had a season that wasn't at the very least good.  And he has been undeniably great for 5 out of the last 6 seasons.  He's also one of the most clutch QBs of all-time.

Who the hell cares if he is a diva?

Excerpt from the article linked above...

During a 17-12 loss to the Colt McCoy-led Giants in early December, a game in which the offense scored only 10 points, Wilson dropped back and set up in a clean pocket. He held the ball longer than four seconds and had plenty of space around him, only to take a sack, a play indicative of Wilson’s struggles down the stretch.

“What the f--k is wrong with Russell Wilson?” a veteran coach who watched the game said at the time. “He is seeing ghosts. They act like they are not protecting him, but he kills the protection. There are times they got a clean pocket, he runs up in there, he just panics. He is not playing very good at all.”

“People say their protection is not that good,” the coach went on. “That whole ‘Let Russ Cook’ thing, he is better when they can run the ball and they play off that, there is no question. No one likes that because they want him to be Dan Marino. Well, he is not Dan Marino. You are who you are. But he looks bad right now.”

It's insane to me that people wouldn't want to do that deal lol

Give me 5 years of being talked about as a Super Bowl contender strictly because of how good our QB is than taking a gamble on hitting the next 3 1st round picks (especially considering the one this year will most likely be used in some way to get a QB).

With the way today’s game is played QB’s are able to play longer because they’re not getting hit as violently. Like you said, Russ would at minimum give us 5 years of elite QB play. 

If the difference between Russ and Watson means us hanging onto Burns, I’m honestly taking Wilson

The people who actually have to work with him care...a lot.

Plus, remember that one game where they made a playcall attempting to make a hero out of him? It turned out not so good.

Throw in that the Athletic article includes comments from a couple of people who seem to think that he might be on the decline and looking for somebody to blame for his struggles.

Wilson is a top 5 QB. I would absolutely trade 3 1st’s for him.

If the Saints land Wilson, we’re screwed. We would have to find a way to trade for Watson at that point if we planned on competing anytime in the near future.

 

How the hell could the Saints possibly pull that off?  They're like 80 million over the cap right now.  Wilson makes like 30 mil a year.  The numbers make this impossible for them.

Okay... but he wins.  And he is extremely productive.

Like, what?  You don't pass on Russ just because he's a "diva".  Seahawks win every year and Russ is the main reason for that.  Look at all the turnover they have had and yet, still winning.  

Russ isn't on the decline.  He just had a rough stretch last year against good defenses.  Are we gonna act like he wasn't leading the MVP race early last year?

Give me a break.  Russell Wilson is not a problem.  To not want to touch him with a 10-foot pole is to not want to win football games.

I don't know that they could, but apparently his camp has interest in the Saints as a trade destination.

I've seen this kind of "who cares if he's crazy as long as he wins" rationale before.

It's the same logic that was used to justify getting Terrell Owens.

Every team that actually did wound up regretting it, and nobody got any championships with him.

Why the fug would the Seahawks wanna trade him though? Has their relationship soured THAT much? He’s 32 and still has at the very least 2-3 more good years. It doesn’t really make sense since they don’t have anybody waiting in the wings to replace him.

      Nah, what he did in Cleveland was damn impressive.     ain’t no way in hell we (it’s my alma mater) should’ve looked like this tonight.  That was piss poor coaching and piss poor playing.  Like they said, for both teams, this was a similar setting to when TCU played Colorado when Deion was hired.  TCU coming in to play a game against a super famous football celebrity figure with a completely overhauled roster - difference is, Colorado played up to the moment.  We just folded like a cheap lawn chair.  I was joking during the game with friends, like they really watched a whole summer of Gio and Max and decided Gio was the starter?  Hell, I bet Bryce Baker as a freshman is better than Gio.  We hyped that signing of Gio like we just won the fuging lottery, and he is complete ass.  We spent two quarters desperately not trying to throw the football - I don’t know if it’s because he can’t or what?  But there was no excuse for that.  It felt so much like the Rhule years here.  I haven’t seen such a dysfunctional offense since or before.  And then the damn defense…. I asked my friend if they just brought all 70 new guys in from a lab that does arm and leg transplants because did these guys just receive their limbs and are figuring out how to use them???  Because I have never seen a whole team look so inept.  Diving early at feet and missing them entirely, getting trucked, flailing and falling everywhere, peewee league arm tackles, always looking a step slow…  no lie, whatever the worse I could’ve imagined that debut going, take that and make it 10 times worse and I never would’ve even seen THAT happening.  Absolutely no excuse for it.  None.  All the brand power and image brought with the Belichick hire, and that’s the best he could do in his debut.  They brought MJ, LT, and Roy out for THAT???  Man, I spent 7 years of my life living there and i NEVER saw or heard of LT coming out there during that time.  They actually got him coming around to watch THAT. Bill should be fuging embarrassed.  The fuging commentary booth brought a dog in and put a headset in him as Rece Davis said, “the wheels are off, ladies and gentlemen.”  As I said elsewhere - not under Mack 1.0, not under Torbush, not under Butch, not under Fedora,  and not under Mack 2.0, did we EVER look like THAT.  Never.  You bring in a guy that is considered one of the greatest football minds in coaching EVER, and we get shellacked and don’t even look competitive???  Boy I know the boosters are shitting fuging fireballs right now.

      Bryce Young still hasn’t shown he can open a season on the right foot. While he’s proven he can close strong, my expectations for these early weeks remain low until he demonstrates otherwise. He does get a relatively soft matchup against the Jaguars, so hopefully he shows signs of putting the early-season struggles behind him, but I’m not overly optimistic just yet. Doesn't help he barely had any preseason reps. We'll see.
