    Seattle was never gonna win another Super Bowl with Wilson -- not as long as Jody Allen owns the team and leaves everything up to Carroll. Only way it could happen would be a total overhaul in the front office and coaching staff, and that's not in the cards. But besides that, you'd have to be blind not to see that Wilson has plateaued and he's just getting older with more off-field distractions. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start getting hurt every year. Time has a way of catching up with you -- especially when you've been pretty injury resistant your first 10 years.

    2022 will be very painful for Seahawks fans.

    Edited to add: There is no way in hell Wilson plays 10 more years.

    I think Russ's best seasons are still to come
    So did the Broncos front office
    I'm very happy he's tanking so far but I am shocked. I will also remind us that the season isn't over. I haven't watched any of their games yet so I don't have a sense of where things are going wrong. But I'm not sure I care enough to watch. Anyway, it's amazing that the offense would be so awful.
    It’s the exact same things that were going wrong in Seattle. Blaming O line not blocking (even though they were puffing out their chest that Russ won’t get hit like he did in Seattle), wide receivers not getting open (which they are Russ is just criminally missing them), and playcalling (which is hilarious because all off season we were told this offense is 50/50 decision between Hackett and Russ).

    Russ and Hackett are where things are going wrong.

    Yeah it's the same things going wrong just without any of the things that went right - the deep ball, putting a clutch late drive together to win it after struggling most of the game, etc. It's been like all of Russ's worst Seahawks games back to back to back to back to back to start his Denver career.

    He might really be cooked.

    Any Hooks able to now admit that he's nowhere close to HOF material?

    Some of us twooelves actually never wanted the first extension believe it or not. No I don’t have receipts to prove this was my position and I wasn’t kicking and screaming for it. Just felt like the Hawks built that team and found enough dominant players everywhere else that Russell wasn’t the only QB that could have won a ring (😞) with them. He obviously was incredible for a lot of that, would never say otherwise. But always been curious what would have happened if they just kept drafting QBs for leverage rather than bow to the “Super Bowl Winning QB” as is the NFL status quo. The NFL status quo is often fucking stupid. Hawks have a chance to do it again and have essentially aced draft 1 of what should be a 2/3 draft rebuild (tops). Just hope they don’t rush to draft a QB when they keep drafting difference makers and plug someone in there in 2024.

    I have greatly soured on Rusty but when it comes to the HOF yes he is at least in the discussion

    Watching Josh Allen and Mahomes play against each other yesterday it's just a shame the Hawks didn't do what they wanted to and traded Rusty for the pick

    If he's completely washed he probably doesn't make the Hall. He's had bad stretches before though, I'm not convinced he's completely washed. He's certainly "close" based on what he's done through this season. LIPO.

    Washed. That Super Bowl they won could've been accomplished with Trent Dilfer at QB. HOF needs to close the gates.

    I also think far too many players get in to their respective HOF in every sport, though. Nothing about Wilson screams generational talent or transformative player. I don't think he's ever been one of the top-5 qb's in a season during his career.
