Better than Elway was at this point of his career with more rings and more comebacks than Rodgers has over his career with the same amount of rings? It must be Russell Wilson.

One player typically doesn't make a team in football but can push a team to the next level. The only position given credit for wins however is the quarterback. So if a team doesn't make the superbowl, that's the player who must be at fault. Sometimes a quarterback can hold a team back and other times the player is unfairly criticized for a team effort. One of the top quarterbacks in the league are currently facing unfair criticism. 

In his first ten seasons in the NFL, John Elway went 89-52-1. He also went 7-5 over that span with 3 superbowl losses. Over that span there wasn't really any talk of if Elway was truly a franchise quarterback or if he was an elite quarterback. Flash forward two decades and a quarterback with similar a career path is being questioned. 

There's a quarterback whom over ten seasons has a record of 104-53-1. Going 9-7 in the playoffs, appearing in two superbowls and winning one. Maybe it's a touchdown thing, let me go look but one ring is better than three losses.

Over his first ten seasons Elway had a combined 188 touchdowns and a combined 241 fumbles and interceptions. In the playoffs he had 20 combined touchdowns and 8 combined fumbles and interceptions.

The current quarterback I also mentioned had a combined 315 regular season touchdowns and a combined 169 interceptions and fumbles. In the play offs those numbers are 28 touchdowns and 19. 

Maybe it's fourth quarter comebacks. Elway had 21 regular season comebacks and 3 more in the playoffs. The modern quarterback has 24 regular season comebacks and 4 more in the playoffs.

So why is Elway held in higher regard than this new age quarterback? Especially when over both of their first 10 seasons, this new age quarterback has beat out Elway in every area that matters except superbowl appearances but since Elway lost, most fans would knock Elway for all three of his appearances when the other quarterback I'm talking about has at least won one.

The thing I hear is this younger guy has turned the corner. He's not carrying the team. Yet he's already better than a hall of fame quarterback. In New England we have a debate, was it Belichick or was it Brady. We say Brady cannot be given credit for all the success and Belichick the blame for all the failure. The Belichick side is quick to bring up defensive players to support the case that it takes more than a quarterback to win. 

Yet it's some of the same fans I hear putting all the blame of Russell Wilson's lack of success solely on him. If We're not giving Pete Carroll any blame for what Wilson has not been able to do, then Bill Belichick cannot get credit for anything Tom Brady did do. See how that works? If people are going to say the credit for the Patriots success and failure must be divided, then its true for every team.

I want to remind everyone that if Pete Carroll runs the ball, Russell Wilson is a two time superbowl winner because Lynch was picking up too many yards per carry not to score. Patriots nation blames Welker, we blame Samuel, we blame Gronk, and we blame Belichick for the Patriots superbowl losses. Until the Brady versus Belichick debate started, Brady was given sole responsibility for the success. 

I used the Patriots but it's not just New England, it's league wide. NFL fans are hypocritical. We're as bad as Boston media. We'll build someone up one minute talking about how great they are and then the next minute we're talking about how they're a bum. Over the next four seasons, Russell Wilson needs 1 ring to tie John Elway for rings. 

The Montana crowd has said Joe didn't need to go to the superbowl as many times as Brady because everytime he went, he won. We'll the same is true for Russell Wilson. If he only appears in 1 more superbowl and wins, he's just as good if not better than John Elway since it took Elway five tries to win two.

And since superbowl losses are discredit, all Wilson needs to tie Rodgers in wins is 9 regular season wins and 1 playoff win over the next 4 seasons. Wilson already has more comebacks and game winning drives playing 4 years less than Rodgers, making him more clutch.

For the record, I do count superbowl appearances as an achievement. Five superbowl appearances by Elway, or four by Kelly is still impressive but like I said earlier, a ring is worth more than 3 or more losses. When Brady won his fourth, it was his two losses that put him above Montana. Montana couldn't get to five.

Every conference champion quarterback has that over every quarterback who never won one,  And there are some pretty good quarterbacks who never won or made a conference championship. Since winning is all that matters to fans, think about this, Trent Dilfer has won more superbowl rings then Dan Marino, Warren Moon, and Phillip Rivers.

Cam Newton Playing for Pete Carroll would be interesting but as Gary Myers has shown us, Rumors don't mean anything.

Cam Newton to the Seahawks? At this point Whinny players can't be choosy, if they wanna work in the NFL.

Jeremy  Fowler of ESPN said Newton isn't going to get paid in Seattle but the team might still allow him to play in some fashion, although Wilson is the starter.

"The Seahawks would be open to adding Newton — they get more creative with the free-agent market than most — but wouldn’t pay much for a backup quarterback. Maybe that doesn’t matter to Newton, who can prioritize fit over contract as he attempts to reignite his career. He would fit seamlessly in Seattle’s offense, and starting jobs simply aren’t available."

Newton is still available because the Draft is over and Teams have their starting quarterbacks. This isn't surprising due to the time of the football year. 

Seattle doesn't need Newton, they have Wilson, and they could find anyone to hold a clipboard. So if Newton cannot get on board with the Idea of standing on the sideline (like he stated) and being the man to prep the defense for the next opponent, he might as well look to the north. 

Per Maximo Gonzales, "Newton has reportedly suggested that he is not looking to serve as an immediate backup in the 2020 NFL season."

Will Newton listen to his former tight end Greg Olsen and go to Seattle? Just how much is Olsen lobbying for the Birds of the north west to sign Newton anyways?

Newton is not going to be on a team, get paid, and play, if he's looking for all three; he'll sit out during 2020 and it's the same if he's just looking to get paid. His best bet is to negotiate a contract that requires the team to get creative and use him a few snaps a game. That could be something Seattle would be interested in. 

Sports fans stay tuned and Remember Supercam is just a man, maybe he goes play in Korea, Japan, or the CFL in another land.

Russell Wilson pushing for Seahawks to sign Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown fleeced the Raiders and the Patriots for some serious money in 2019. Brown was released from the Raiders after a plethora of issues arose, including recording Raiders executives.

The Patriots signed Brown who played in one game. Brown was accused of sexual assault. Brown sent a group chat that included one of the victims, which lead to his dismissal from the Patriots organization. Brown then went on to verbally attack owner Robert Kraft.

Brown has shown that he is clearly mentally unstable and in need of medical help over the past year. Brown met with teams but nobody would touch him during the 2019 season after he was released by Belichick.

Fast forward to May  2020 and Russell Wilson appears to be lobbying for the troubled receiver to bring his cancer to the Seahawks locker room according to John Clayton.

“It’s pretty clear the Seahawks want to run the ball even more this year. They have loaded up at tight end and tried to stay big along the offensive line. But it’s not out of the question for the Seahawks to add another wide receiver. According to sources, Wilson would love to add Antonio Brown. Brown is also close with backup QB Geno Smith, whose one-year contract with the Seahawks was finalized Wednesday.”

Virgil Villanueva says that if the Seahawks do intend to sign Brown, it would not be until the preseason. 

"if the Seahawks are interested in Brown, fans should expect the team to chase after him either in late July or August."

The Seahawks  seem to have other needs at the moment, so signing Brown would take away cap needed in those areas. The Seahawks have done their best to stay away from trouble makers. So the question needs be asked, after watching Brown's 2019; is Brown worth the risk?
