Keasley,
There is a giant yawning gulf between Rex Grossman and Drew Brees.
Few ever said that Wilson does not have flaws. He doesn't have to be Brady or Brees to be worthwhile.
But the idea that we are better off, he is easily replaceable, or that this team can come close to being as effective without him - being forced to play with these rosters the Pete Carroll way?
No. That is laughable.
I get taking potshots at him may make it easier to let him go. And maybe he was gone regardless, that brand-building thing only goes so far in this corner of the US. So maybe this is a coping mechanism that people are using.
But to imply he could not be better or that we will do better? Hilarious.
This is all beyond our control and the result on betting on Carroll instead of Wilson. And maybe Wilson was gone regardless and it wasn't a choice anyway. But if it was? Then it was stupid.
And when Wilson leaves? The party ends, even though it has been kind of barely there for the past 3-4 years anyway.
Wilson has flaws. All QBs do. He is still THE primary reason we were winning. And unless we luck into a low-round gem at QB (unlikely), probably the last good QB here for a while - which means very few playoff opportunities past the point we lose him.
The Packers bet on Rodgers instead of McCarthy. That is why they are a SB favorite.
We bet on McCarthy instead of Rodgers.* (The funny thing is that McCarthy of today is actually a better coach than Carroll of today. That is why we probably are going to miss the playoffs for a while after we lose Wilson.)
*Not implying Wilson is as good a QB as Rodgers.
