Outlook for Russell Wilson
By: Jake Rajala
Russell Wilson is currently in the Big Apple. He isn’t the backup to Jaxson Dart. He is the backup to Jameis Winston, who is the backup to Dart. He is living the life of a journeyman QB, after being pardoned from Pittsburgh and Denver. If he wasn’t Mr. Unlimited, perhaps he would have better luck with Hall of Fame head coaches.
It’s a pity that the Steelers chose to ride with Aaron Rodgers, who looks like a statue in the pocket. Yes, that’s right. He had 61 rushing yards on the season. Lamar Jackson had more rushing yards in one game! Lamar unleashed 70 rushing yards against the Buffalo Bills.
I’d like to see Wilson join the Minnesota Vikings and join J.J. McCarthy. I’m not the first person to like the two sides. Austen Bundy of Fansided said, “Wilson would be the QB you bring in as the veteran mentor who can teach McCarthy a thing or two while also reminding him the starter job isn’t locked down entirely.”
Wilson will most likely not make the Hall of Fame. However, he should be cast into the Seahawks Ring of Honor. He only had one Super Bowl ring, like Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. Well, Brees threw 5,000+ yards five times! A-Rod has also has the highest passer rating of all time.
If Wilson didn’t throw a gift to New England Patriots CB Malcolm Butler on the one yard line in the Super Bowl, he would have a pair of Super Bowl rings. Then I’d say he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame (at some point). Nonetheless, one play in a game can change everything.
