Back in 2012, I was a huge fan of Wilson's and thought that the Seahawks were the perfect fit for him.
Even though they'd just given Matt Flynn a huge contract, Pete publicly stated that if Wilson was better in camp, he'd be the starter and I distinctly remember people here on CP stating that Pete was full of shit.
The NFL has a bad habit of dismissing players because they didn't or don't meet "Ideal" standards. Fortunately, that's changing a bit at the QB position, as we've seen Lamar Jackson go in the first and Kyler Murray go #1 overall.
I'm not stating that either of those guys will win Super Bowls or head to the HOF someday, just that the NFL is looking at these guys a little differently, which has been great for the game.
