That was obviously an exaggeration, but I believe everyone gets the point.
And there would be no QB controversy. We all know who the starter would be.

As for me, the QB that won the Super Bowl was how old?
” I don’t think it’ll happen, but I’d trade three 1st-round picks for Russell Wilson. In a New York second. Why would a rebuilding team want a 32-year-old quarterback? Because Wilson might play at a high level until he’s 50. He’s never missed a game in his life and has shown no sign of slowing down. On the contrary. He had one of his best seasons last year - career highs with 40 touchdowns and 69 percent completion, missed his career-high for passing yards by seven and averaged 6.2 yards per run - above his career average. His 107.2 passer rating over the last three years is highest in NFL history by a player in his 30s. I like Jalen Hurts and think he has a chance to be a winner in this league, but Wilson is a Hall of Famer in his prime. If you can get him, you go get him.”
As far as him playing until he’s 50 goes...sometimes I wonder how sports writers manage to get paid. Only one QB ever has played well after age 41.Last edited by art vandelay; 04-04-2021, 09:09 PM.

NO MORE QB CONTROVERSY. STICK WITH HURTS, BUILD A TEAM AROUND HIM WITH THE DRAUGHT PICKS.

agreed it’s a red flag, there must be a reason right? A team doesn’t just trade a franchise QB for no reason. Seahawks looking to unload Wilson tells me he might’ve been the worst QB in the league last year and went looking for the exit door literally the moment he was benched - oh wait that was someone else!

I love Wilson but I'd pass on trading multiple 1sts for him at age 34.

Is Howie still angling to get Wilson?
Glenn ErbyFri, April 2, 2021, 10:47 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles traded down in the draft, accumulated picks, and are sitting pretty with assets over the next two years.
The Athletic recently broke down the NFL landscape for all 32 NFL teams post-free agency and entering the stretch-run towards the draft.
One league executive told The Athletic that Philadelphia’s loading up on assets to either build around Jalen Hurts or make one final run at Russell Wilson in 2022 if Seattle looks to move on.
“All they’re doing is stockpiling picks for next year, so they can get weapons for Jalen Hurts or acquire one of the top two overall picks to draft a quarterback,” an exec said. “And I would put Philly in the driver’s seat for Russell Wilson next year if Seattle moves him. That would have Howie Roseman written all over it.”
