Russell Wilsons Turns Down $21M Per Year

Did they really trade for Jimmy and not want to use him? Or did they find out Russ might not be the type of QB that can pass like they thought and are now stuck with a guy they can't use?

They've had Wilson for three years. They know what he can and can't do. And there isn't a QB in the NFL that can't make throws to Jimmy Graham.

In the first game, he over threw him a few times to the point Jimmy sort of looked at him like "what was that". I can't believe a team as smart as the Hawks would trade an offensive lineman for Jimmy if they didn't plan to use him. I really do wonder if they are quickly finding out that Russ's skillset really isn't conducive to being a great passer in a pass heavier offense and that's why they aren't adjusting the game plan more.

It's way early and Russ has earned the benefit of the doubt but it's pretty damn curious to me.

Disagree some. They've had him for 3 years but their game plan has always been run and throw when necessary. To get Russ on the move. There hasn't been a lot of seeing Russ sit in the pocket and be asked to throw. Do you think that their FO is dumb and wouldn't want to involve Jimmy?

I've been curious about their game planning and have raised that concern during both weeks. It was especially evident against green Bay, when their stubborn play calling kept giving the ball to an ineffective Lynch, and they only started moving the ball and scoring in the second half when they put the ball in Wilson's had and aired it out.

It was much of the same when they gave big money to zach Miller and only used him to block

on a serious note, the team is struggling because they do not have a good corner after sherman, so they are forced to adapt, especially in the slot and sometimes sherman is guarding TEs and that means the D is now somewhat playable. Still a top 3 unit, but you now need an offense, a thing that seattle doesn't have.
