SI: The Dynasty That Never Was
Damn good read on the dismantling of the Seahawks and the rift between members of the defense and Russell Wilson.

Russell Wilson is the most overrated QB of all time

I don't think Wilson is overrated, I think he's a damn fine QB. That said, that team won due to two main reasons, the incredible defense, and running the ball. Wilson was a valuable asset to the offense, there's no doubt in my mind that he had a lot to due with the offense being good enough to win a SB. But he's not Aaron Rogers, he's not a gunslinger, throw the ball 35+ times a game kind of QB. He's more of a rock solid, make clutch plays at key moments, run the ball for an occasional first down, type of QB.

Dudes hate Curry because he is a trash talking dancing in your face ****er. He tries to play the nice guy off the court but there isn’t a bigger prick in the league. Well except Dramond Greene but that dude is in a world all his own. |

It should also be noted that he and RGIII are pretty much the only guys that have went over the top “developing their brand” with social media and so on. And it hasn’t worked out well. At all. The guys that have been successful have done most of the brand development is done on the field. |

Wilson is definitely overrated, and maybe he's mentally soft too. It sounds like it. But Carroll definitely lost that team himself, starting with putting the game in Wilson's hands at the goal line in the Super Bowl instead of letting Lynch finish them off. That kind of thing is going to be hard to come back from with many of those guys, lots of whom aren't going to get another shot.
Rebuilding around Wilson instead of building the kind of team that Wilson benefitted from being on isn't going to end well. |

Admit it! After you read the thread title every damn one of you thought you were going to be reading an article about the Chiefs.
I know I did.
