So that brings us to the prospect of Russell Wilson. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback has thrived in the NFL: his teams have never finished worse than 9-7, and he’s proven he can make plays in an offense despite his smaller stature (sound familiar?). Wilson led the NFL in passing touchdowns in 2017 (34) and passer rating in 2015 (110.1), all while dealing with some of the worst offensive lines in recent NFL history. He’s been sacked fewer than 41 times just once in his career – as a rookie, way back in 2012. He’s also scheduled to become a free agent in March 2020, just like Brees.

He could benefit from a Saints offense with real blockers, and quick-hitting passes designed to protect the quarterback. Per NFL Next Gen Stats, Brees put up one of the fastest times to throw in 2018 (2.59 seconds). Compare that to Wilson, who had to hold onto the ball as much as 3.01 seconds. That half of a second is a lifetime for a quarterback, and it’s often due to the pressure in his face and the time it takes his receivers to get open. It resulted in Brees being sacked just 17 times on 506 dropbacks, and Wilson hitting the dirt 51 times against only 478 dropbacks last season.
