100% agreement. His nest egg sleeps next to him.

Not sure what Brittany is worth...
maybe if Benson puts a few Jimmy Johns in the dome Drew can sacrifice a buck or two

Sucks that Seattle just won a Super Bowl with a QB making under $1 million/year. They'll have him next year for under million too because he can't hold out for a new contract until after the 2014 season. Sure, things will go to s*** salary cap wise for the Seahawks once guys like Wilson and Sherman can get new contracts... But damn, it must be nice to have your best players be making peanuts.

Agreed, but it's the same personnel/draft/CBA system every team plays under. Wilson wasn't the first QB taken in his draft. Seahawks drafted a dandy. And Seattle will have a lot of tough decisions in the next couple of years. They have already come out and said Earl Thomas will get his money before R. Sherman, so it's gonna get interesting. No doubt. Seattle's done well at getting veterans on one year deals, and have guys still in their rookie contracts, so it will get tough for them. But yeah, best players getting peanuts blows, but it is the exception, not the norm.

LOL..... I laugh when people look at the Seahawks and Niners and say that they are killing it because the QBs are making basement dollars... and don't remember the whole story... Russell Wilson wasn't the Seahawks qb... Matt Flynn was, and he got paid big money... And he lost a competition to Wilson... Alex Smith got paid 15 million dollars ( I believe ) the season before Kaepernick took over and if not for an injury might even still be he Niners QB its as much about luck as it is anything else.

A ten-year-old kid can lead a team to the Super Bowl if he can run occasionally.

As evidenced tonight.

The day of the cerebral QB is OVER.

Wilson is just as cerebral as Brees if not he will be one day so ur statement is false.

AlaskaSaints · 02-03-2014, 01:17 AM

Okay. Now compare Wilson's running yards to Drew's running yards and get back to me.

Drew and Peyton are TOO cerebral, and incapable of just tucking and running a football when necessary, because "there has to be something out there that I'm missing, i think I will just toss it up."

I'm pretty sure that everyone said the exact opposite after the archetype mobil QB lost the Super Bowl last year...
