I have no worries about Wilson ability to throw the ball despite this season. His deep ball throws are simply amazing at times. I do question his mobility, I do question his footwork while in the pocket, I question him going through progressions. As for the coaches calling for the deep ball, well every play has options for the QB and they include the other receivers that aren't going long, which should include TEs and RBs. Nobody is going to convince me that Pete wants RW to throw into double coverage even if the call is for the long ball as option #1, but that what RW does.Since 2012 Wilson has average between 6-7 games a season where his Rating was below 100. This year he has 5 in 11 and 1/2 games. The real kicker is after the injury he has not passed 65% completion but for one game. In 7 games back after injury minus the San Fran game he has had completion percentages of 50% GB, 53.9% ARI, 64.5% WSH, 60.7% HOU, 54.8% LA, 59.3% CHI. I don't know about you guys but a sub 65% passer Wilson is not and the drop off from a average of 70% before the Injury shows and points right where the problem is. Wilson is playing hurt, he is struggling like never before and I don't care how great of a QB you are sooner or later you will have a down year. We have seen this from the best of the best in the NFL forever it just happens. Wilson's was caused by injury just like many other great QB's who had down years.
Is Wilson the problem to our down season? very much so he is a big chunk of it but are you guys going to burn him at the stake like he is some washed up has been? Rogers has had a couple bad years, Brady has had almost half a dozen and we turn on Wilson after his first one? I give Wilson a pass but maybe that's because I knew with out a doubt he was rushing his return and I expected just this exact outcome. He came back to early and it has slowed his recovery and has hurt the team. I predicted this when he got hurt and i see it as the MAIN problem. The finger was BROKEN and had a ruptured tendon, he should have been out 8 weeks minimum. But he came back and his finger will not ever fully heal 100% this season because of it.
Wilson is worth a ton of draft capital, 3 first at the very least if a Strong safety is worth 2 first a 3rd and a starting Safety. Thing is if we bail on Wilson we are in full rebuild no if ands or buts right? This team has talent on the roster it's just not deep and we are very thin at some very Key positions. We don't have a #3 WR AT ALL, Our TE are average at best, Brown ( sorry Brown you have been great for us ) has been bad this year. RB has been depleted and we have had guys like Collins, Dallas and Homer as the main back many times this season, that's a joke for starting RB quality. We have had mediocre results from our DT and DE's, our CB have been bad, so much so that many of you wanted to crown Tre Brown as our best CB after a couple games when he was "average" at best which I guess would be great on THIS team lol.
You want picks then Trade Jamal Adams and Bobby Wagner for ammo in the 2022 draft and by the time we hit the 2023 draft we will be in a good place as far as having our #1's back. Jones has looked like a promising young talent and so does Brown at CB, Brooks is a tackling machine that just needs to be coached up in coverage but he has the talent to be one of the better LB in the league. This team needs RB, Oline, Dline help in the worst way and this would go a long ways to fixing whats broke with a 100% healthy Wilson. Seattle will have the 5th most Cap room this offseason, everyone has to resign players so i dont want to hear yeah but we got to resign blah blah. Thats EVERY YEAR this is nothing new. Seattle has the 5th most open cap space and if they traded Wags and Adams they would be close to #1. Go out and get some starter quality players in need position. Not PRO BOWLERS but the next tier down.
I doubt anyone will read this wall of text lmao
As for what happens if RW is traded, well that SHOULD BE the beginning of a full rebuild and the whole team should get striped down for picks or cap space as much as practical. However Pete says no rebuild is going to happen, if so I do not want RW traded then, but I also think RW wants to be traded so tough spot. IMO a full rebuild should happen because over all the talent isn't there for the Seahawks and some of the key players are grey beards now and not enough up and coming young talent because the Seahawks have been selling off top draft picks to attempt to stay viable. Poor draft capitol to improve and not enough cap space.
As for the Seahawks having the 5th most cap space that's only because 58% of the roster are free agents, it's actually not enough cap space. Trading Adams would result in having 19 million LESS in cap space and Wagner would be a rent a player as 2022 is the final year on his contract and he'll be 32 in June so his trade value will reflect those things.
Truthfully the Seahawks ( and us fans) should recognize that time has come for a rebuild. MAYBE with RW they can squeeze one more playoff season off some how ( the odds are against it though) but it would be as a fringe team and one and done. In the meantime RW will be another year older, Wagner will be a free agent, so why not just embrace a rebuild this season?
