If we had drafted Russell Wilson...

[Rain Man]

...and if we still had the first pick, would you still take a quarterback with that first pick?

Just curious. I haven't seen enough of Wilson to make a long-term call yet. From a statistical standpoint it seemed like the team was protecting him a lot earlier in the year, but anecdotally it seemed like he improved as the year progressed.

If we had drafted Russell Wilson he would have received the same amount of playing time as Ricky Stanzi.

I don't think thats fair.

If we'd have drafted Russell Wilson that would mean Pioli would have been fired and RAC would have never happened.

True.

Pioli would have never drafted Russell Wilson.

So if we had drafted Russell Wilson, it can be assumed that Pioli was fired after the 2011 season.

Russell would have played better than Shane Falco's cousin during the preseason and would have received snaps at some point in time this season. People mistakenly think that Stanzi didn't play because Pioli is inept; Stanzi didn't play because he stinks (Pioli is still inept).

this

there is no way he would have stepped on the field for us. So yes, we would still draft Geno.

BINGO !!

Provided he played the same, no. BPA, then draft qb in the 3rd


But if we had him and he played the same, we would not have been 2-14

I find myself actually agreeing with this which invalidates a Rain Man poll. Is that a sign of the end of days?

If you think that a Russell Wilson scenario ending at 2-14 isn't possible, then assume that we went 10-6 and then traded Matt Cassel for the #1 pick in the draft. Pro Bowl quarterbacks don't go on the trading block very often, and they draw a premium.

The last coaching staff would have benched him and ruined him. Part of Wilson's success was coach Carroll.

Oddly enough, though, from my Seahawks insider, Carroll and Bevell didn't even want Russell Wilson. That was entirely a John Schneider pick, in which he took control of the organization by the throat and said, "Here's another QB, guys."
