The Russell Wilson era in Seattle ended after a Super Bowl win and nine Pro Bowls, but what if Marshawn Lynch ran on that play (you all know which one!) and punched it through the end zone? That would have made Wilson a two-time Super Bowl champion, and when a QB leads a team to back-to-back titles, it is considered Canton worthy, but, alas, that didn’t happen.
Wilson was traded to Denver, but his two years in Denver were disastrous, evoking post-Philadelphia Donovan McNabb vibes. Wilson then went to Pittsburgh and earned a tenth Pro Bowl (though he only had 2,482 Yards and 16 TDs), but he did successfully limit the damage to his reputation.
Wilson is now a New York Giant, and like last year, his grasp on the starting QB position has a young incumbent (Jaxson Dart) waiting in the wings. He may need to compile statistics to secure his Hall of Fame credentials and reinforce his narrative.
