Josh Allen, whom I love like a stepdaughter, has never scored as many points as Lamar Jackson did in 2019 or 2024. He also just had the worst QB1 season since 2017 Russell Wilson (but he got married so we knew that was going to happen) Lastly, he's white.

Analyst recalls Wilson was 'amazing' on the Manning Cast when he appeared with Peyton and Eli Manning, engaging in unfiltered football discussion about third-and-four situations with no script; this is cited as evidence Wilson could potentially be good in broadcast role if he leans into that style rather than generic celebrity guest appearances.

Analyst expresses mixed confidence about Wilson's future as an NFL commentator; believes he could be good but uncertain if he will be; notes he is polished and speaks well but concerned he may be too worried about what people think and too focused on positivity to be critical like successful commentators (Troy Aikman, Jon Stewart on Manning Cast); suggests Wilson needs to lean into being more honest and critical rather than boring like Tom Brady and Drew Brees have been.

Russell Wilson's success rate has been consistently poor and unreliable, with percentile rankings of 28th, 10th, 31st, 27th, 26th, 29th last season, and only 17th in Week 1. The source's concern is that if Eberflus's game plan is to make Wilson beat them with consistency—a style that doesn't suit Wilson's strengths—the Giants defense will likely win that matchup. This defensive approach mirrors the Eagles' Week 1 strategy and could result in a low-volume passing game for Dallas, limiting Wilson's fantasy upside.

Russell Wilson historically exemplifies the quarterback type that suffers most in four-point passing touchdown leagues; he was not a high-yardage passer but threw 35+ touchdowns, making him highly dependent on touchdown scoring and thus experiencing the biggest drop in value when touchdown points decrease.

Wilson, 37, completed his 14th NFL season with the New York Giants in 2025, starting the first three games before being benched for rookie Jaxson Dart in Week 4, marking the end of his playing career. He has announced his retirement from the NFL and is joining CBS Sports as an the source on 'The NFL Today' alongside host James Brown and analysts Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher. His career was historically significant: he ranks fifth in career passer rating among players with at least 1,500 attempts, won more games in his first nine seasons than Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or any other greats despite being undersized at 5-foot-11, and as a third-round draft pick in 2012, led the Seattle Seahawks to two Super Bowls, winning one in a blowout of the Denver Broncos following the 2013 season.

Wilson suffered by far the largest statistical decline from seasons 1-10 to seasons 11-14 among 14 quarterbacks since 2000 with at least 100 starts in their first 10 seasons and at least 30 starts over seasons 11-14, per TruMedia; he fell from averaging 0.12 EPA per pass play over his first 10 seasons (about the same as Matthew Stafford and Dak Prescott over the past decade) to averaging -0.05 across his final four seasons (about the same as Justin Fields for his career). This decline was driven by physical deterioration—loss of leg mobility as he aged and put on weight—which exposed limitations in reading defenses and seeing the whole field that the Seahawks had mitigated through system design. After leaving Seattle, Wilson saw himself as capable of running the offense like Rodgers, Brady, or Peyton Manning, but the Seahawks' evaluation proved correct; the $245 million extension he signed with the Broncos emboldened him despite on-field evidence showing the extension was misguided.
