Russel Wilson

[Drink IRON City]

I have never played QB but am willing to give it a shot. Heart. Heart.
1 mill per year. Plus incentives. As in free BACON in the off season

It's not as easy as it looks.

The three times I wore #7 and subbed in so as not to let anyone know BEN was out, opened my eyes a lot.

It sucks waiting in the blue tent the whole game hoping BEN shows up...............

I was at the game. 3rd row. Different perspective.

Russ ain't it. I got feedback weeks ago for saying Russ ain't it. Was told Russ passes the eye test.

LOL.

Russ is turning the ball over way too much and taking way too many sacks. His turnovers this week and last killed us. He is NOT seeing the field. He is a one-trick pony - he throws a pretty, deep moon ball.

Father Time has knocked on his door. He is not our future. Why we are not investing in developing what could be a QB is beyond me. And Justin will likely walk and take an offer elsewhere now.

We entered the toughest part of the season, Russ got worse. "Oooh he was so great against CIN." Spare me. Russ beat the Jets, Giants, Commanders, BAL, Cincy and Cleveland. Two decent wins and a loss to CLE. But he went 0-3 in a stretch where we needed at least one win against a legit team. Against real, playoff-worthy opponents. He had his worst showings.

You can see his QBR regressed. His sacks increased. 3 straight losses.



He has 15 TDs, 5 picks and TWENTY NINE sacks. He's fumbled the ball 5 times, lost 4. The 4 lost fumbles cost us dearly each time.

Yes there is far more to these wins and losses than just the QB. The D isn't what people purport it is. Tomlin has handcuffed yet another Offensive Coordinator. Play calling is abysmal.

Russ has had enough chances to shine. He needed to step up in one of the last 3 games.

He ain't it.

Im paying darnold if im Kahn

up front I agree.
But.....Darnold is surrounded by great talent and a great scheme. Neither seem to be the case here.
Put him here and no way you see the same results as he's had in Minnesota.
Now if the Steelers surround him with a better offense, then hell yeah you sign him. I still hate the Artie Smith hire. They had a chance to really move the needle offensively but blew it IMO. Still you have to consider it if Darnold hits FA

The best thing that could happen is for Russ to play abysmolly vs. Cincy, CONlin pull the plug for good, go back to Fields and tell Fields you are going to develop him.

We aren't going anywhere with Russ. I'd rather see Fields lose the first game of the playoffs. Maybe even 2 games if we get Houston and get past them. We are NOT getting a good young QB anytime soon with our draft position and Veteran QB's is not the way to go.

I'll puke if they draft Ewers.

As good as Justin might be, you don't get to lose two games in the playoffs. It doesn't work like that.

I think hes earned a mulligan for being a good guy.

I'm done with the Russ Wilson experiement. He started off with a few good games but he has had more bad games than good and hasn't had a good game in a month. The guy is 37 years old so only a fool thinks he will get better in time.

I'd like to see them go back to Fields and just give him some time to develop. He has all the physical tools and at only 26 has time to grow. Russ is only going to get worse as he ages. Otherwise, let them both go and start over?

I don't bring Russ back unless it is widely known that he will be a backup.

Well Russ just turned 36 in November and I believe Justin is 25 turning 26 in the spring.
I’d probably go the youth movement and resign Justin and surround him with quality skill players, namely WRs.
Next, you have to shore up the OL which has been bad the last month.
Move on from Najee and draft a quality RB to pair with Jaylan who I resign.
Better start moving some of these high priced defensive players. Results don’t justify the payroll here.
At least move on from Terrell Austin and Pat Meyer. These are the weakest links.
Just some things I think I think.
