This was the point of my initial post. Not that Wilson 'wasn't a qb1' but that his situation was starting to rapidly crumble around him to the point he might not be a lock to finish top 5 at the position.

If this turns out to be something structural, even just a "loose bodies" situation that requires a cleanup I'll be a little concerned. No Baldwin would really be no bueno. That would leave them with Lockett and a bunch of inexperience (or mediocrity) behind him.

I'm also curious, and maybe irrationally nervous about the type of offense the team wants to employ. When this team was at their best, they ran to set up the pass. Game script may not allow it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is to tilt a little more run heavy to keep the defense off the field so they're not exposed. The line won't be as bad a last year, but it's a better run blocking than pass blocking unit as currently constructed.

If this comes to pass, Wilson's overall numbers might suffer a bit at the expense of the team hopefully finding more success. Yes, I think Wilson is still an elite talent, but he may not produce elite numbers as far a fantasy is concerned.

7 points in the first half. 7 in the 3rd quarter, 10 in the 4th


Jags Game zero points in the 1st half.

10 in the 3rd, 14th in the 4th

Rams game. Zero points in first half.

7 points total.

I’ll take a sig bet with anyone that wants it that Wilson doesn’t finish top 3 next year

Not to derail the thread but this was a complete myth. No idea who started it but people latched onto it and ran without doing their own analysis. Breakdown by quarter:

23-422-1
14-258-4
21-341-4
21-365-5

As for Seattle, I have full confidence in Wilson, with or without Baldwin. Am I the only one who recognizes that Wilson was a top 5 QB in 2014 and 2015 when they still had Lynch?

I don't dismiss this fact, but my only concern is how much the defense will be able to help the offense. In those seasons Seattle was 4th and 10th in average starting field position. That's got to help the offense when you're dealing with a shorter field. I wouldn't try to guess how much, but I'm just hoping there's not as much regression as expected on the defensive side of the ball.

Wilson is elite in my opinion. I just wonder if he'll be able to put up elite numbers on this version of the team. But if their depth was drafted and developed well, maybe the drop-off in surrounding talent on both sides of the ball won't be as bad a feared.

They got him a RZ weapon in Jimmy Graham, (the really Jimmy G), and that has been it. Graham is gone now. What happens if Baldwin gets hurt for any extended period? Yikes. They need to think about drafting one next year with all these good prospects coming out.
