Very true.

But it's also true that Russell Wilson isn't the prototypical QB and that if Seattle had a Ryan, Brady, Manning or Rodgers at the helm, their offensive scheme would be different than that of Wilson's.

He's the modern day Fran Tarkenton, with a staunch running game (Chuck Foreman) and fearsome defense (The Purple People Eaters). The difference is that Wilson won a Super Bowl while Tarkenton lost the three in which he appeared.

There's no doubt that Wilson is a very good QB but I'd take Rodgers, Ryan, Brady, Brees and the Manning's before him.

I'm not against it, at all. But I don't believe that Wilson is a Franchise QB worthy of 2 first round picks and $25 million per year.

Some team will pay him but I'll be shocked if it's Seattle.

There's no way in the world I'd give up two first round picks for a 5'10 game manager that's had the best defense and running game in the NFC since his career began.

if that's the case I don't see how Wilson won't get 5 for 110 with 80 guaranteed

So let me get this straight: John Schneider and Pete Carroll, two guys that have had excellent results since being hired, which include two Super Bowl appearance and one victory, are now wrong if they let Wilson hit free agency? How does that work?

From Sports Illustrated's Robert Klemko this morning:

3. I think the Seahawks ultimately will franchise Russell Wilson in 2016 after his rookie contract expires, then let him walk in free agency. Based on the numbers I’m hearing out of the current contract talks, Wilson wants to be paid like the type of quarterback who would excel in any offense, without a world-class defense and an All-Pro running back. And despite all of Wilson’s successes, I don’t think John Schneider and his coaches are convinced he’s that kind of quarterback.

it's laughable to think people actually think Russell won't be a Seahawk

The same cannot be said for Russell Wilson.

Did anyone give up 2 picks for Wilson?

Did he get a five year, $110 million dollar deal with $80 million guaranteed?

LMAO

The answer is a clear and unequivocal NO.

Dumbass drunktard.

Never my contention. He's paid $100K less than Aaron and got $60M guaranteed and gets to become a free agent at 30
