All three made it clear it was Russell that wanted to play elsewhere. So 63, can go eat crow.

What sane QB wants to play under Pete if they can play under a competent offensive scheme?
The issue is whether he would have played here under someone else.
We had a choice between a decrepit, aging, HC with declining cognitive ability - and a HOF caliber QB that has carried this team for close to 4+ years. We chose the old worthless guy.
But the argument that Wilson was going to leave no matter what does not wash. Wilson went to Denver. Denver has less opportunities to build a global brand than here.
He went to Denver because they have a better roster.
He chose a complete mystery of a HC instead of the for sure thing of Carroll with his dinosaur offense.
He would rather pick a ? (complete mystery) of a coach instead of the known offensive failure that Carroll is.
It is a dumb statement to imply we had to trade Wilson because he wanted out. He wanted out because he was tired of carrying an aging useless HC.
Old. Tired. And Full Of Excuses. Nobody likes that crap. Why would he want to play QB for it?

again PC was looking to trade him 3+ years ago. Wilson knew that You don't stay where you are not wanted.
As to PC and JS etc of course they will say that. What else would they say? Certainly not the truth.
mistaowen":h4fvsyl6 said:I mean let's be honest with ourselves. Russ wanted full autonomy of the offense like Mahomes has and that will never fly with Pete. No substantial overhaul of the OL ever took place. Schotty was the closest he got to running an offense through him and Pete parted ways. What Russ wants now will never jive with Pete's style and it was time for a divorce. Offense was unwatchable for entire halves of games. How many half times did they go into half with like...25 total yards? Only one drive wasn't 3 and out?
I remember that Lions game a few years ago where they just ran them into the ground, something like 40+ carries. Russ simply hit a few easy big gains when needed and the OL feasted. That is everything Pete wants to see.
Now Russ has control of his offense with an offensive minded head coach on a team looking ready for a SB run. Pete gets cap space/draft picks to reload his defense and find the next point guard QB to facilitate the ball control offense. What we fans can hope for is Pete/JS are able to repeat what they previously did quickly. There are a bunch of core building DL guys in this draft that I hope they go and get.
This isn't to say I want PC over Russ, just that this was a needed divorce. And Jody chose Pete. So here we go.
