In hind sight, you have to admire JS/PC, they seemingly played the Russell Wilson hand perfectly. Russ was a needed piece to complete the Super Bowl winning team. The illusion was, just how good of a QB do you need when you already have the LOB and Lynch? Our offensive line sucked so we had to have a scrambling QB that could hold onto the ball, pass on the run and hand off to the Beast. Initially his height wasn't even a factor because being too short to see over the linemen wasn't a problem when he was always on the run.
His successes fed into his delusions of being an elite QB and became a detriment to the team, he hid our deficiencies by winning games we should have lost. PC and JS played right into his delusions of being elite and although we had to pay for it for a couple of years, the rest of the NFL did too.
So turns out, we just draft a couple of badass OL's, bring in Geno and it's about the same as having Wilson. Not really rocket science. We still won't get many points but enough to win some games. Develop protection and a run game and the means to find a real elite QB is at hand.
It's all pretty funny because Russ built his image as an elite QB, PC and JS played it cool, paid him as an elite QB and started shopping. Then the Donkeys bit.
