If you were expecting an MVP-level season from Russell Wilson, The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly says don’t hold your breath.
In his appearance early today on 93.7 The Fan, Kaboly was asked if the team should opt for Justin Fields at quarterback instead of Wilson due to his upside. Kaboly quickly turned down the thought explaining the team isn’t looking for a world-beater at the position.
“I don’t think they are looking for that 26-touchdown, 3000-yard type of guy,” said Kaboly. “They just want a quarterback, three things… convert the third downs, even if it’s with his legs…Red Zone… And being a leader, just being an absolute leader of this team.
