The LOB was in place before Russell Wilson became a Seahawk. What did they do in the playoffs pre-Wilson?
They went 7-9, missed the playoffs w/Beast Mode in his prime, and the #1 scoring defense in the NFL.
Fact is we have turned this team over to Russell Wilson. For seven years now. And since he got paid we have zero to show for it. Just exactly like I said would happen the moment we paid a QB that can't read defenses top dollar. Funny how that works.
Turned the team over to him with no O-Line, the RB room in shambles, only 2 viable weapons to throw to at any given time. And substandard OCs, yet Wilson found a way to perform, inspite of getting the shortend of the stick when you compare other franchise QB situations.
Fun fact: Tom Brady counted more against the salary cap than Wilson during that stretch (2015-2019). Yet the Patriots won 3 more Superbowls. Truth is the league caught up to Pete, and passed him by. Good thing he had Wilson to pull his ass out of the fire and keep having winning seasons.
Shane Waldron is going to open your eyes. And you will finally understand your criticisms have been misguided. It was the system, not the QB.
