In fact, the people I know who work with HOF players will tell you that getting into the HOF is more important than winning a SB to most of them. But, if near a decade of falling short in the playoffs starts to impact a player's legacy? Then they are often going to look to find a way to fix that, sometimes by changing scenery.
Everything you say is true, I'm only arguing the fact that you guys are living in a world of certainty, and I'm saying there is no proof or evidence to back up your and other's opinion including Russell himself that he'd be a better QB under another HC.
In fact I think this entire thing is blown out of proportion, especially from Wilson's camp. He rashly allowed his emotions after watching Brady in the SB to put out a public statement about not being happy with how he's being protected and used here, and everyone is using that as some indictment on Pete.
Pete and John did listen, and they have been listening to all their star players, especially Russell. Thus the hiring of Waldron, and numerous draft and personnel moves over the off season TO try to improve the offense and their relationship with their star QB.
It's Russell that for some reason needed his ego stroked and needed some attention showered upon him to feel heard. I can tell you one thing, I sure as hell trust the calm methodical approach that John and Pete have used to build our team into one of the top 5-10 franchises in the NFL for going on 12 years now, over a QB that spends his off seasons making cheesy IG Cabo posts and getting slimed on Nickelodeon award shows who doesn't spend even 1% of the time our personnel department and coaches do in player acquisition and development.
Shane waldron was hired mainly because other OCs didnt want to come to Seattle. Before him, it was dude from the chargers and guy who worked with the raiders? A couple OCs declined to interview, why? Pete Carroll, that's why.
As far as player acquisition goes, wilson has tried to get several players on our team JOHN SCHNEIDER dropped the ball every time.
