Can Wilson give away another Super Bowl?
Russell Wilson has been the most successful 3rd year QB in NFL history. I wouldn't trade him for ANY QB in the league.
Wilson trusted in his coaches and they sucker punched him with the wrong personnel and the wrong play. There was nothing wrong with the pass. That interception was totally on Lockette. At the least he should have batted the ball to the ground but the pussy never got a hand on the ball.
Wilson learned that in such a critical situation he must take on the responsibility to run the play he believes will work the best. No doubt Darrell Bevel has sat down and talked with Wilson and Russell will be encouraged to do his best with the players on the field.
People forget that Wilson was still only in his third year. It normally takes 4-5 yrs to develop a truly well rounded QB in the NFL...and that's the one's that make it that far.
How many mistakes did the great Colin Kapernick make last season? How about the great Cam Newton? This season Wilson will be just that much smarter and better. He has been working on his leg speed in the off season so look for some spectacular runs.
Game on the line....Wilson blew it
Clean pick
Biggest blunder in Superbowl history. Bigger than Garo Yepremian. bigger than Leon Lett
Whatever. I doubt Wilson called the play or demanded he throw the ball to the only receiver on the team with no experience in goal line crossing routes.
Butler flattened Lockette before the ball even arrived. Truth be told that's pass interference. Why it wasn't called is odd. Even within 5 yards of the LOS a DB cannot knock a receiver to the ground to get to an interception.
But if you insist Wilson was the cause of the play going south...fine ..have at it. I don't care anymore. I've looked at the play a hundred times. I don't share your opinion about Wilson having "blundered".
In a critical point in the game....Wilson pulled the trigger
If the pass is not there, throw it away. You have two more downs
Wilson did not see Butler and no, it was not pass interference. Butler had a right to go for the ball and it was Butler who had no experience. Were they trying to exploit the weakest player on the field? If so, they blew it
Biggest blunder in Superbowl history?
Yepremian and Lett cost their teams touchdowns but their teams still won. Wilson cost his team the Superbowl
