I put Wilson on the elite QB category. He can extend plays and make miraculous throws from them—Part of which contributes to Metcalf and Locketts production. Carson would be quite solid with any QB though.

Wilson is for sure elite, he is just severely underutilized in the sense that the Seahawks will enter the game with one mindset: either throw the ball, or run the ball. Wilson would be at the same level of Mahomes if they actually allowed him to mix up styles mid-drive and throw off defenses.

I'm not sure what you mean, like their skill positions are pretty elite. Carson is solid and Metcalf and locket is up there with the best duos. Their line is bad though.

I think they should have taken it, if the 2 roster players were good and on good deals. Picks are so damn valuable.

Exactly. Patriots invested in their OL to protect Brady. Given enough time, he can find open, minimum salaried WRs and undrafted RBs. Seahawks invest in their skill position players but are dependent on Wilson running around in the backfield behind their revolving door OL while waiting for somebody to get open.

What boggles the mind is that the Seahawks think that a run heavy approach works best with that kind of personnel philosophy.

I'm sure Russ doesn't want to throw shade at certain position groups but there are 2 things that have been proven time and time again in the NFL:
1. It is better to spend money and draft picks on the OL and go cheap on skill positions.
2. Run heavy approach doesn't work as well as pass heavy, especially in today's age with more sophisticated passing offenses. Seahawks offense is just too outdated. You're also wasting a good qb with that kind of system. Tony Dungy wasted most of Peyton Manning's prime with that approach. They couldn't win in the playoffs because they kept running the ball first and then asking Manning to do his thing already down 2-3 tds.

Wilson is not the only expensive qb in the league. Taking a huge amount of cap space is all the more reason not to have him hand the ball over on most possessions.

Pretty much every offensive lineman will tell you that is exactly what you want to do if your line is thin. Run blocking is easier and improves morale. Blocking for play action is mostly easier as well.

I know most of the information is forthcoming, but when there are 12 accusations and counting...it doesn't look good. I'm gonna take a wild guess that he's played his last snap in the NFL. In which case, lol @ the Texans, trading away all their picks and good players to "build" around him, then pissing him off, then getting nothing for him.

I wanted to believe when it was just a few accusations. But 12 is just... daunting.

All it takes is for one of those to be corroborated and its gg for him.

Apparently Wilson was too busy filming his own rap music video and instagrammed himself riding around drinking lean

Also based on Reddit comments from people who watched his videos he’s a shit rapper

There’s a new conspiracy theory that Deshaun Watson is in collusion with the victims to blame him to make the Texans release him since they won’t trade him. Amazing

Its also dumb. Goodell will cover for them with the conduct detrimental list or whatever its called. And then they get their money back (if they want) easily in arbitration, instead of on some shaky legal grounds.

That would be like the best possible outcome if true. Sadly, I think it's far more likely he's been a superstar his whole life and doesn't know the meaning of the word no.

Also, if you're paying for the masseuse anyway, why not just pay for an actual whore? Isn't that legal in Vegas or something?

so recently i've been playing ncaa football 14 again with the college football revamped mod (doing an army dynasty right now) and it's made the game more exciting (not that it wasn't awesome already). the next update coming this weekend is adding RPO plays to the game and it looks amazing.
