Super Bowl winner for literally nothing? Let him play for a year of half a year, then let the rookie take over. yeah Wilson is a headcase but so is Kirk. Russell Wilson was a Super Bowl winner 12 seasons ago and hasn't even gotten close in 11 years. That's pretty irrelevant at this point. Nick Foles is more relevant than Russell Wilson in that aspect...and you could get him for nothing too since he's on the street and is 2 months younger than Russ.

(Of course, then that would be the game they'd schedule over in London) That or it would be a regular 1pm game since neither team made the playoffs last year and they'll want to pimp some random game like Jax vs Det.

If we tell him we're going to draft a QB but we're looking for a veteran to be a 1 year stopgap, he couldn't understand that? He may not accept that role, but I have no reason to believe that if he did, that he would end of being a problem anyway.

CriminalMind Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) I have a hard time believing that Russ is going to accept a cheap contract, unless it is multi-year with some balloon payments after year 1. Someone in Russ' position has no financial need to play for $1.5-$2M for a season. Going from $35M? to $2M with no long term security/future contract, with injury risk. I dont think it makes sense for him. Unless he gets a 'big offer', wait it out for if a team losses their starting QB unexpectedly later on in the process/season.

He doesn't need to play at all, but if he wants to, he's not going to get the same type of offers he would have. He's going to have to accept less and prove himself again.

I just don't personally think his ego would allow him to accept such a role, even if he's left with no option but to do so and says he could. Either way, he's not the QB he was 5 years ago (I think he's finally feeling the repercussions of all the hits he took behind that horrible Seattle OL) and ultimately, I don't think he's a good fit for the Vikings schematically or personality-wise. Right now, he's basically a younger version of what Matt Ryan was in Indianapolis. He's done as an effective starting QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been through a very humbling situation. I don't think we know ho that may or may not have impacted him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went through a situation where a FO/HC bailed on him, for whatever reasons. Some of it was play, but some of it was not directly his play. I believe some of his 'stats' look reasonable/positive. Just like Derek Carr who was asked to sit and got released in Oakland, and felt he was a starting QB, got a good pay day in NO. So until something else is known, it should be thought that he would want a similar situation that he is use to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to his interview with Brandon Marshall, I don’t think he sees it that way. Nothing is his fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are still paying him big money this season. Doesn't mean he has to accept a small contract on a new team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
