What's really happened is for the last year over half of Russell's games he's had a QBR of under 95, and 5 of those games it's under 30. He's gone from a top 5 rated QB in most statistical categories to a bottom half of the league QB.
So no, it's not perception. It's reality. He's stunk. Blame whoever you want, but no one's more to blame for what we're seeing right now than Wilson himself.
Last year was a very good year by anyone standards. The first 4 and a half games he played very good, well enough to win. After the injury you are right he has sucked.
. It is perception.Its narrative that ignores the injury. Its either the broken,dislocated finger with a ruptured tendon is affecting his game or he became junk after the 5th game of the season.
My opinion is the mangled finger and an idiot oc are the problem.
He will always have holes in his game but he can still play at a high level when he is healthy.
But Russell was not good by anyone's standards after the first six games last year, his passer rating dropped dramatically and was ranked 14th in the 2nd half of last year. Culminating in getting outplayed by a 3rd string QB no one had ever heard of in the playoff loss to the Rams.

Same goes for this year, but it only took until the 2nd half of the 2nd game for him to become mediocre, and since he's been almost 100% the last month he's lost to three backups.
Sorry man, I know you guys are in denial but the truth is Wilson hasn't been even above average for almost an entire season.
We can debate why, but those are the facts.
Actually, those are not the facts but I am glad you used that word
So let start with last year. he did have some bad games in the 2nd half He also had some really good games
So in the 8 2nd half-season games, he had 3 with a Passer rating under 85 and 5 over 90. So a mixed bag but not all bad either. If we go by QBR which I am not a fan of but other like he had 3 game sunder 45(berlwo 45 is bad) adn 5 above. So a mixed bag but not all bad as you eluded to
Now this year
Prio to his finger injury he was leading the league in Passer rating, tds. tds/int, and top 5 n yards, ypa. That would be the first 4.75 games as he got hurt ward the end of game 5.
Now you say it took him to the 2nd half the 2nd game to be mediocre and yet his passer rating for the first 4 games was
152
128
111
116
So that would not be true either.
Now since the injury, it has been again up and down.
As I said in another thread I made there is a lot going on here
loss of a best friend and mental coach
first significant injury
then another injury
new system and OC
I agree something is wrong but I think it is a lot more than simply Wilson sucks or wants out. I also don't think you just give up on him or any player given all the things going on.
Regardless what I or anyone thinks will be most interesting is the spin cycle that will exist next year depending on what is done and how we play. Either lot of I told you so's, or lost of excuses.
