Russell Wilson 40000 passing yards, 5000 rushing, and 300Td is quite a feat. Not sure anyone currently can obtain that. Maybe Josh Allen but he would be the closest one.
By the time Russ retire he will have 50000+, 6000+, & 400+. I'm glad he was a Seahawks. I hope he comes back and retires as one.
For Wilson to get to 50,000 passing yards, he'll need the rest of this season and two more as a starter. I think it's more likely he's out of the league by this time next year than starting for another two and a half seasons.
It also seems pretty unlikely he'll get to 6,000 yards rushing. He's getting older, slower, and more fragile, and he'll need another two full seasons at his career average before this season (just over 450 yards) to get there. And that would also require him to continue to be a starter into the 2025 season. I just don't think that's very likely. At this point, most Broncos fans want the team to bite the $85M dead-cap bullet and get rid of him. And once a guy has made over $40M a year, I don't think he's going to want what teams will be willing to pay him to be their backup or an emergency one-year starter for a team in a situation like the 2023 Jets. Plus, as a backup, there's no way he gets close to any of those round-number milestones.
As for TD passes, Wilson would need another 79 to reach 400. His career average before this season, including all those years he was in the system Pete Carroll built to get the most out of Wilson's strengths while minimizing the impact of his glaring weaknesses, was 28 per year. He's now older and slower, and he is no longer in Carroll's Russball system, but let's give him 28 per year. That's another 15 this year, and he would need to remain a starting quarterback and maintain his career average of 28 TD passes per year into the 2026 season. I feel very safe saying that's not going to happen.
If 50,000 passing yards, 6,000 rushing yards, and 400 TD passes are the over/unders for Wilson's career when it's over, I'm more than comfortable taking the under on all three.
