re: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson isn’t worth $100 million

I disagree with that. The guy was already discussing a possible retirement. NFL running backs to not last long, they just don't.


As far as Wilson goes, he is absolutely worth a 100 million dollar contract because the market says so. If he's not top 10, he is on the cusp and will be in there very shortly. I don't expect him to ever put up Rodgers type of numbers, but he is incredible efficient and smart. He was a yard away from having TWO superbowls. Good quarterbacks are what you have to have in the league for sustained success.

Every Super Bowl winner since the new millenium has either had a stud defense with a stud running game or they've had an elite quarterback. The Seahawks of last year and this year clearly fit in one of those categories. I'll give you a hint: Wilson is not now nor will he likely ever be an elite quarterback. It's funny what team success can do to the perception of a quarterback's talent level. Everyone was swinging from Brady's dick before 2007 saying he was an elite quarterback when he wasn't then either. He didn't starting putting up elite numbers until 2007. I wonder why? Couldn't be because he had a top 5 receiver of all time suddenly join the roster or probably the top slot receiver in the game's history sign up that year.

Anyways, Seattle can go ahead and pay Russell Wilson $100 million if they'd like, and enjoy never making it to the Super Bowl or hell even the NFCCG again for a long time. Hell they wouldn't have even had homefield and made it to the Super Bowl this year if the NFL didn't have stupid tiebreaker rules. I don't much like the Cowboys, but they should have been the number one seed.
