Because now they won't have cap room to be competitive.
But hey, he's a nice guy so who cares about winning?

Stop. You know better than this. Don't make mistakes at the other positions if you want to compete. Not even mistakes. BAD mistakes.
Unless your rookie contracted QB is a hit, EVERY team has to pay their good to great veteran QB top bucks. Outside Brady of course.

QB pay is ridiculous but its been that way a long time. At least vets are getting those deals now instead of rooks. RW is in the top 10 of most important QBs to their team. This is the new bottom threshold.
It will be interesting to see what the Rams, Bears, etc do. At some point, an innovative GM will try to keep high end talent in other areas and just draft replacements every 4 years. I'd love to see how that would work since its already seen unintentional success in Chicago, LA, Dallas, and Baltimore.

Yes, that's the trend but that doesn't make it a smart deal for the team. Wilson's a good QB, but he's not on the same level as Brady, Brees, Dak, or Rodgers. I just don't see him leading an offensive juggernaut and carrying a bad defense like a top QB should be able to do.
Whatever, I have no issues with the Seahawks dooming themselves to mediocrity

Did you just put Dak in there!!! You burned down Notre Dame didn't you!
You're correct in this. It will probably lead to mediocrity like 80% of the NFL. BUT if they hit on a draft pick or two, they now become the elite. That's all you're doing really as a GM. Get your QB. HOPE you get some draft stars.

The point is, you could pick up Rosen for peanuts - he may or may not pan out, but Seattle hasn't done dick without an ELITE defense and you've now strapped yourself in with a good (not great) QB with the highest salary in the NFL. In my mind, you only ever CONSIDER doing that with somebody young and elite - Mahomes, Mayfield etc. Wilson and the Seachickens have doomed themselves to mediocrity until this laughable deal expires. Wilson won't care though, and his agent has to be laughing himself dickless. The idea that you "have to lock him down" is some of the most Stockholm Syndrome bullshit I think I've ever seen. Like a guy making $80k dating a supermodel, and SHE'S the one saying "man I better lock this down or this big swinging dick is going to get it elsewhere".
Insanity.

I only hope Jerry thinks as highly of Dak.
Ambiturner
, you jinxed yourself bro.....lol, we both know better. Jerry was giving Dak a 5 year $175 mill contract either way next year. Elite GM can see elite!

I don't know, I think Wilson is a little underrated in this thread. Obviously, not #1 money guy... but he also is on a team that doesn't believe in investing in an offensive line.
Something I didn't realize is that he's actually never missed a game. That's surprising.

I agree with this. I understand why people claim he's not up there with the elite guys, but frankly he has carried a team quite a bit at times.

Underrated in this thread, maybe, but he gets sucked off on the level of Rodgers and Brady by announcers and commentators.
It's annoying when they do it to all timers, much less someone a tier behind them. The backlash the is just in response to that

Wilson carried a shitty 2017 team to a 9 - 7 record. That was the season where he literally scored ALL but one of the teams 37ish touchdowns. Not sure why you guys are saying he can't carry a shitty team. 9 - 7 was a fucking miracle for the team we had in 2017.

11th ranked defense by yards, 13th by points allowed. That's shitty compared to their Super Bowl run, I guess.
Both stats have them on par or better than their offense

He COULD be great if they got him a line. He's 30. You lock him down. I'm pretty sure he won't hit a cliff in 4 years.
Let's say they didn't lock him down? You now have no line, no QB and an elite defense. Yeah you're better all right.
Plain and simple. You lock down good-great QB's. Just the way the league is.

I agree. He makes plays time and time again. Has won them a SB (and lost them one I guess). He's top 10. You pay him.

Wilson is elite. He is up there with Rodgers, Brees, Rapistburger, etc. Anyone that thinks otherwise is one of these retards that wants to draft an RB #4 overall like they have not watched the NFL in the last 20 years.
The problem is not the money the elite QBs make. They are worth it. The problem is the money the good but not great QBs get. Cousins, Goff, Dak etc. Dak is probably going to get close to 30m a year and Goff probably will too. They are a huge step down from Wilson. They should be more like 15-20m.

Our O line is better than it has been in the past. Its not elite level but it played a ton better last year. It also helps we got a run game going last year from someone other than Russ. But I agree with you, you dont let a QB like Wilson walk out of your building while you are still the only team that can negotiate with him.
