Russ could be VERY charming, can do that Golden Retriever act down to puppy eyes, works great until you are disposable. Case in point, Pete Carroll. I kept saying Wilson has a goal, whatever it may be, this football journey, let it be super bowls, MVPs, etc. are just MEANS toward that end or goal. Anything along his way are just steps, tools, all disposable. My humble opinion anyways.
Coming back to wristband, ask yourself 12s, why was so hard to wear one? What warm can it do by wearing one? WHY NOT, right? I like to think that wristband is an obstacle towards his goal, this image of super human being, so smart, memorize the whole playbook while lesser souls need wristband, but not Russell Wilson. For that goal, he won't wear the f-ing thing, cost a few delay of game? Let Pete Carroll take the blame. Pete got blame innocently? Hey just cost of reaching that goal.
