re: Some of the Russell Wilson comments from TD Users

This entire thread is the definition of hindsight being 20-20 knowing damn well not a single person prior to the season expected Wilson to be the starting QB , let alone take them into the playoffs after signing Flynn to his contract yet all of a sudden everyone is an oracle and prophet.


If you did, you missed your calling and need to be a sports caster.

Baloo
Carroll is involved in personnel decisions in Seattle, and his front office just laid down $25 million for a new QB and he's going to bench that QB before they play an actual game? That is an unconscionably stupid way to run a franchise.


That wasn't so bad when you look at it from a business standpoint.

Yeah, hindsight yada-yada.....

I'm sure a lot of people looked at it like Baloo did tho

The thing that ended up making him wrong is how affordable RW is - there's no real harm in them putting down 5 million a year on a QB who gets beaten out by a 3rd round pick. That's still a lot less than most teams invest in the position and the point is to get a guy in place who is the best possible guy at the most important position.

The interesting thing to me will be if the Seahawks end up releasing Flynn, trading him, or even keeping him on the bench for at least RW's sophomore year. They really can afford to consider all three options with how affordable RW's contract will be for the next two years.

wish i was tebow
if they are smart they will let wilson learn under the guy who learned under the best for a couple years

I never said he wouldn't be good. I actually liked him a lot. My reasoning behind that comment was they just gave Flynn a fat contract and let Wilson learn the system and be a good QB.

I didn't think he would be this good right away and that's why I said it. I was a big Wilson supporter at Wisconsin and thought he could play in the NFL. Just not right away


Nut take it as you please

Seattle could sit on that (I believe they are in great cap shape) and try to trade him, maybe grab a couple of late round picks. But I don't know if they will, they are in a unique situation.

No doubt Flynn could be a good NFL QB. The success Wilson has had after being named starter says nothing about how good Flynn is. Check out Flynn's career stats. I love how some people think LSU fans are just biased because Flynn played for LSU. Those people are just as biased on the opposite end of the spectrum.

lolz @ VerlanderBEAST

What are you trying to prove? People have opinions and sometimes they are wrong. I'm sure you have said plenty of retarded things on here.

Hey. frick you. How can you be certain Flynn wouldn't be even better than Wilson. Its obvious Carroll still hates lsu and wouldnt give Flynn a chance from the start. His uppers made him sign Flynn.
