I've always thought it made sense to have QB's with similarities. Style, personality, size, etc. In this case I think Adams is the perfect protege. What he did for us, after a short learning period, was amazing. He plays just like Russell and just as importantly, his teammates loved him. I know coaches prefer backup QB's to be smart, veterans so maybe Adams goes practice squad for a year or two. But I'd love to see him in a Hawk uni.
The thing to remember is we're looking for a backup... Not Wilson's replacement. I like Adams as an option to consider for backing up Wilson. Adams is similar to Russell Wilson without the measurables, but he has a Doug Baldwin type of personality. Approaches the game with a huge chip on his shoulder and he's not afraid to tell people about it. I wouldn't be disappointed at all if we landed Vernon Adams as a backup to Russell Wilson. Their style of play is very similar and having a guy that can step in and somewhat imitate what Wilson does would be better than having a bigger QB that plays completely different than Wilson does. That throws the entire offense off their game, instead of just taking a step back at the QB position while Wilson is out.
Hmm, I feel like he's the exact opposite of Doug Baldwin. He plays the game with joy and a lightheartedness. I do agree that he'd make a good backup to Wilson though.
Umm, I hope you don't mind me chiming in...
If you want the Seahawks to draft a backup QB, then here is a prospect to consider. Dartmouth (QB) Dalyn Williams is similar to Russell Wilson in size, body type, and mobility.

As you can see he has the short, but stocky build similar to Wilson.
