The Perception: As Russell Wilson enters his 7th flavor inwards the NFL his stock could live no higher every bit near experts accept him pegged every bit a top 3 to top 5 quarterback inwards the league. Wilson is coming off a flavor that saw him fit career highs inwards touchdowns passes tossing 34, piece too matching career highs inwards interceptions alongside 11. Last flavor nosotros witnessed a Seahawks monastic state become through tribulation similar we’ve never seen from this dominating grouping inwards the final 5 years. Seattle dealt alongside a multitude of injuries that ultimately derailed their flavor piece missing the playoffs inwards lack-luster fashion.
While ADF has ever respected the play of Wilson, 2017 was a twelvemonth that catapulted Russell inwards our eyes every bit a truthful deviation maker too elite grade talent. Wilson literally set the Seahawks on his dorsum too carried them fifty-fifty every bit the injuries continued to pile up. The Hawks haven’t actually enjoyed a corporation offensive describe of piece of job to protect their franchise quarterback too accept been searching to supervene upon the massive production left behind when Marshawn Lynch flew the coup (pun intended). It was amazing to witness the magic from calendar week to calendar week every bit Russell was but inwards his ain stratosphere willing plays alongside his arm to a receiving essence that wasn’t greatly admired past times the masses. Finishing his flavor atop the fantasy betoken leaders inwards PPR formats makes it far to obvious too tardily to rank Wilson dorsum into that fold.
As the Seahawks encephalon trust begins to rebuild the squad piece seeing top-end talent exit for other destinations, Seattle should accept a hard fourth dimension replicating the success of the past. ADF seems to live inwards the minority every bit near of our colleagues scrap that Wilson volition live a top-flight producer i time once to a greater extent than this coming season. The perception is that Seattle volition uncovering its means dorsum to existence a productive squad behind the dandy Russell Wilson, but this shouldn’t live the idea process.
The Reality:
Wilson is an exceptional histrion don’t larn us wrong, too nosotros accept grown alongside our trust inwards his might to produce, but the odds are against him to replicate a flavor similar last, peculiarly alongside a defense strength on the downtrend. The Seahawks law-breaking isn’t i that volition live overly creative every bit lack of play makers volition brand that betoken proven on a weekly basis. Drafting rookie Rashaad Penny was a fantastic motility that volition convey dorsum some threat of a run assail to aid Wilson inwards recreating a play activity overstep that was completely ruined alongside the revolving door of runners due to injuries.
The credibility inwards the Seahawks receiving essence is too some other tendency that ADF but can’t larn past. While Doug Baldwin has proven he’s a feasible property that’s capable of making audio plays alongside Wilson, the supporting cast isn’t something nosotros are laid upwards to endorse. Baldwin should come across far to a greater extent than double teams this flavor every bit opposing defenses await to strength Wilson inwards finding other receivers to brand plays. Losing Jimmy Graham to the Packers volition live felt from twenty-four hr menstruum i every bit they essay too strength the number alongside a tandem formation at tight destination alongside Nick Vannett too Ed Dickson. Signing the aging Brandon Marshall to the monastic state volition appear on newspaper every bit a giant victory but shouldn’t overly accelerate the success charge per unit of measurement exterior of possessing summit inwards redzone opportunities.
While the Seahawks aren’t publicly voicing they are inwards the midst of a rebuild, but rather a re-tinkering, ADF is far from convinced. The Seattle run game should come across vast improvement from final flavor alongside Penny too Carson forming a one-two punch that should live real intimidating. The Seahawks offensive describe of piece of job is greatly underrated too should demo improvement allowing Wilson to stand upwards longer inwards the pocket inwards hopes to uncovering his receivers. With that said, the administration the Hawks seem to live moving toward appears to apply a heavier run assail (much similar the past), piece allowing Wilson to preform alongside lesser reliance on his arm.
The Outlook:
ADF is a big fan of Wilson but non at his electrical flow ADP (Average Draft Position). Early rankings accept Wilson every bit the 3rd quarterback on the listing which is something nosotros aren’t prepared to back upwards at this phase of the offseason. The excitement of Russell’s dandy 2017 fantasy flavor which saw him generate a salubrious 347.8 fantasy points, is clouding rational idea every bit to what his production volition live inwards 2018. With the talent at broad receiver exterior of Doug Baldwin looking rather thin, too the Seahawks looking to rejuvenate their run attack, all signs betoken to lower numbers this season. The i caveat that has us intrigued inwards Wilson’s potential output is the possibility of massive garbage fourth dimension points inflating his numbers weekly. However, nosotros must draft on facts rather than speculation when selecting a histrion ranked every bit high every bit Russell currently is.
While it seems nosotros are suggesting Wilson should accept a terrible season, it couldn’t live farther from the truth. We accept witnessed Russell Wilson accept ii fantastic seasons out of vii throwing for 4000 yards (or precisely nether that mark) too hitting 34 touchdown passes inwards 2015 & 2017. Outside of those terrific years, Wilson has been the consistent quarterback able to create statistics precisely about 3500 passing yards too 20-25 touchdowns per flavor which should live the going charge per unit of measurement for the 2018 campaign. Seeing his average points per calendar week final twelvemonth hovering precisely about 21.6 points per game is the anomaly too he should uncovering his means dorsum downwardly to world alongside an average precisely about 15.5-17.5 points per week. With Wilson currently existence drafted inwards the 3rd circular too seen every bit high every bit the mid instant circular (mock drafts), nosotros must advise Earth that greater value for the quarterback seat tin dismiss live had inwards avoiding Wilson this season.
