“Russell Wilson Can Only Do So Much” – Former Seahawks Man Defends Star Quarterback

The Seattle Seahawks reigned supreme during the initial stages of the 2019 season, boasting a 10-2 record. As usual, Russell Wilson ran the show with his signature grace and grit in the early days of the league.

Rookie wide receiver DK Metcalf also rose to the occasion as he established himself as one of the most promising players in the league last year.

However, Russell Wilson and Co. slumped to a 1-3 finish in the final four games. Despite that, the Seahawks made the playoffs yet again. They defeated Philadelphia Eagles in the Wildcard round but lost to Green Bay Packers in the Divisional round.

Russell Wilson will be motivated to lead his side to another playoff appearance this season.

Can Russell Wilson and Seattle Seahawks make the playoffs once again?

While speaking on the Good Morning Football, former Seahawks man Nate Burleson leaped to Russell Wilson’s defense. “I don’t believe Russell Wilson has anything to prove this season, in this division, or even in the NFL.”

“He’s proven to be the guy for the job, he’s proven to be one of the best quarterbacks in this era. I guarantee you he will go down as a Hall of Famer,” Burleson said.

Russell Wilson was recently given a 97 overall rating in Madden NFL 21. The Super Bowl XLVIII winner threw for 4,000+ yards last year and also made 31 TDs.

Russ and Aaron Rodgers are the only two active NFL quarterbacks with a passer rating of more than 100. It will be interesting to see if Wilson can steer the Seahawks to another Super Bowl appearance at the age of 31.

“I feel like they just need to stay healthy. Wilson, his team got caught with that injury bug very late just like the Ravens did. Towards the end of the year, their two backs that were doing damage – Chris Carson Rashad Penny – and they went down at the wrong time.”

“Russell can only do so much. If he has a healthy team, I guarantee we are talking about Russell Wilson once again in the playoffs and possibly a run for the Super Bowl,” Burleson concluded.
