LOL at the 12's who thought Wilson would be taking less money cause he loves the team.

Not sure how I feel about this. Obviously you have to resign him, but if the rumors are true, that seems excessive. I think Wilson's damn good, but he's clearly not the best QB in the league. Will be interesting to see what the actual numbers are.

So, what you're saying is that he's merely a game manager?

What he deserves and what he will ultimately command are two different things.
You are either pay him or let him walk, which would be incredibly stupid.
He'll only be the highest paid qb until the next top 10 qb gets his contract

I agree with this.

Honestly I think you could argue for him to have top 3-5 money. I'm taking Rodgers, Manning, Brady and Luck ahead of him, and that's probably it at this point. And obviously going forward Manning and Brady won't be around much longer.

But yes, Wilson will only be the highest paid until Luck can renegotiate his deal.

This. The cap is going up and in a few years, it probably won't be such a burden. Lock Wilson up to a long term deal. In the future, he maybe will pull a Brady and defer money etc to sign certain free agents.
 
For as good as the defense is ... it's Wilson that completes the package. He understands implicitly what the strengths of the team are and plays to them. He compromises defenses like nobody else in the NFL. He's got a track record of making the needed plays when they need to be made. His streak of not losing a game by more than 1 score is beyond extraordinary.

Perhaps there are more talented QBs in the NFL, but there's not a better QB in the league for this team.

You extend him (as you have everybody else in your core) and go from there.

The reality is that the future of this team will be driven based off of how much depth they are able to build during the draft. As long as they are able to build depth on this roster such that players 40-55 are good enough to step in and go, this team will continue to be the most difficult out in the league.
 
The only QB to win the Super Bowl twice and not make the Hall of Fame is Jim Plunkett. Therefore it's quite possible we'll be calling Wilson a futer-HOFer in a few weeks. How is that not worth the biggest contract in the league at his age?
 
Wilson is the rich man's Marques Tuiasosopo. If you remove him, our offense not only becomes average, it might become subpar.
 
Wilson allows Seattle to spend money on defense. The O line is average as are the receivers. Wilson makes plays anyway. Would Luck win rings here?

My thoughts exactly. The only QBs i think you can switch him out for and still win a championship on this team would be Rogers and Rothlesburger. Wilson's value lies in his uncanny ability to avoid the rush, escape the pocket, and make a drive extending play with his arm or legs.

Brady crumbles when he gets hit, he would probably lose on this team.
Peyton crumbles in the clutch and would have the worst weapons surrounding him in his career, probably loses one on this team.
Luck hasn't proven enough when it matters, although his team is pretty weaponless as well. He needs to make the SB and then I might add him to the list, as of today I wouldn't swap him for Wilson.

 
Luck is pretty mobile and hard to brig down. I think he would do well anywhere. He's never had a good RB or OL with the Colts.

Race is right though. Wilson allows Seattle to spend money on the defense. The OL sucks and the receivers are average.
