Russell Wilson Seahawks Postgame Press Conference – Week 17 vs. Detroit Lions

When?

Reminds me of Nick Chubb only shiftier. Penny’s greatest asset is his incredible field vision. My question is, can he catch? We haven’t seen him take too many screen passes and the like.

@Matthew Jones : Pete has to show me that he’s ready to fully relinquish the reigns of the offense to Waldron. Do you see how crisp and dynamic the offense looked against Indy, SF and Detroit?

That was Waldron’s work, and it was like the polar opposite of Pete’s stale run-first approach. I like working off the run, but not the way Pete does it.

@Richard Johnson : The Seahawks spent a #1 on Penny. He’s not going anywhere. He’s a restricted F.A. Seattle can match any offer.

@Ramone DeCurta yes good I hope they can keep him.

.Next year play P.ford & A.woods on 1st & 4th downs get Danny Shelton & Quinton Jefferson & Justin Hamilton & play B.mone with them on 2nd & 3rd downs, reason D-Line needs fresh legs for pressure?

Hasslebeck’s achievements pale in comparison to Russ’s. Only Steve Largent should be mentioned in the same breath.

There’s no way Russ stays with the Hawks… id be shocked

@C. Satia : There’s away Russ stays with the Seahawks. They get him a new HC who can understand and run the kind of offensive system O.C. Shane Waldron coaches.

Do you notice how much more dynamic they look when Pete keeps his hands out if the offense?

Keep Waldron. Keep Norton too (he’s a good coordinator). Let Pete leave with dignity. He’s likely wind up with the Raiders.

@Ramone DeCurta my only concern is how can you let Pete go when you just signed him to a 5 year extension… Honestly that offense was disgusting even with Shane as OC…. my wish is fire Carrol,Shane and Norton…. they all need to go… Norton isn’t anything special there are better coordinators…Shane offense ignored 2 pro bowl wrs… and Carrol is a lost cause… Go get Kellen Moore from Dallas… he’s#1 on my wishlist… but I still know in my head there’s no way Carroll can leave because of the money and I GUARANTEE you wilson is about to play his last game as a Seahawk this week…

I think he stays …. But Pete goes …. This union has to breakup

Nobody will pay up. He is signed. Russ good guy image; so he won’t do deshawn I never play there again.

There’s always a team willing to take a swing at hall of fame Qbs , of course your can’t get 4 first rounds picks …. But as a Gm and owner you have to do your due diligence and test the market …. Ultimately I think he stays but Pete would have to go along with the Gm and DC …..something isn’t clicking and I could care less about this game vs the lions

Agreed!🎯💯

Wilson and Rodgers both love their teams and their communities. They aren’t going anywhere.

Norb, I think you’re paying Daniel and Squabo..but it’s so up in the air.

Russ takes up too much of the salary cap and he is washed up.

@Cat Breath 1 bad year calm down 😂

He wouldn’t sign an extension… he’s done with the Seahawks…I GUARANTEE IT

Russ takes up too much of the salary cap and he is washed up.

Many dynamics at play here:

Media personnel who want to see Russ in a bigger market winning SB’s for one of the more marquee teams (e.g., the Giants haven’t won in a long time, but they’re the Giants);

Fans and media wondering just how much Pete Carroll has held back Russ from reaching his true potential;

Biased fans who don’t like short QB’s. This is baffling to me, because the only number that concerns me is how many wins a QB can bring a team, and Russ brings a lot of wins. Playoff wins are more about preparation and game-coaching than they are anything else;

Uninformed, casual fans who are still mostly unaware of just how dominant Russ has been in his career, and who wrongly tend to blame him for the SB49 loss;

Racist fans who never wanted a blaq QB for the Seahawks in the first place;

Racist fans who see this coming down to a choice between Pete Carroll and Russ, and are inexplicably siding with Pete Carroll, despite his awful NFL record without Russ;

Trolls who just want to see a change for change’s sake, not realizing that the Seahawks actually have a good foundation for another set of Super Bowl runs right now.

God Bless Him Wherever He’s Meant To Go!
