Only watching the game now on gamepass.. 2nd 1/4. Game is over in USA. But OMG I wish the Hawks FO had worked harder at getting rid of RW and drafted Josh Allen. Someone who actually sees the whole field.

Back in 2018, I would have been 100% against trading Wilson, he was a saint to me back then. I think most 12s felt the same way. But John probably witness the dysfunctional relationship between Pete and Russ and try to end it.

rams drafted him at 13, as a second pick.

Josh Allen is overrated but when Diggs came to Buffalo, it helped him a lot.

Just because a player has success with one team doesn't guarantee he would be successful with another. Josh Allen had Ken Dorsey and Brian Daboll to help develop him. I don't believe the Seahawks have that caliber of coaching to help develop their talent (especially on offense).

I saw the report that Schneider was interested in 2018 in trading Wilson for draft picks to try to get Allen, or at least was interested in Allen. But I suspect this would have cost Schneider his job as Allen was really raw and actually not a very good passer until 2021. Also at the time Wilson was still top of his game. I hope the 49ers organization has the same patience with Lance as the Bills did with Allen.
