Richard Sherman is still not a fan of former teammate Russell Wilson. For years, Sherman has insisted that Wilson wa carried to a championship by the legendary Seahawks ‘Legion of Boom’ defense.
Earlier this week, Wilson was benched after going 0-3 with the NY Giants, leading to Sherman and Amazon’s Thursday Night football crew debating the quarterback’s legacy in the NFL.
According to former NFL great Tony Gonzalez, he doesn’t believe Wilson is a Hall-of-Famer.
“Honestly, I hope we have. And I say that because just looking at him and his career, his legacy, like you talked about, if ever there was somebody who played himself out of a Hall of Fame, it’s Russell Wilson,” Gonzalez said.
“And I say that because look at what’s happened ever since he left Seattle,” Gonzalez continued. “When he was in Seattle, he was the man. He was making these good plays. He won a Super Bowl. Went to two of them. But as soon as he left there, he went to Denver, signed that big old deal. They paid him $39 million to leave. He goes to Pittsburgh, plays there one year. He’s out of there now he goes here and has three games. I just don’t know if it’s going to get any better, and I don’t want to see him on a sideline holding a clipboard.”
Sherman quickly agreed and said that you had to judge Wilson based on his career after the Legion of Boom left Seattle.
“I think you got to judge his career off when the Legion of Boom was there. You had a legendary defense, an all-time defense, and how much success he had and then without that legendary defense, the success he had. Without that legendary defense, he’s been 4-11, 7-8. 0-3 to start with the Giants. He was a winning football player in Seattle and people said, ‘Hey, winningest football player.’ All this good stuff, all these accolades. And now you get to go on your own and you get to prove, ‘Hey, I’m this great quarterback. I’m this guy that’s gonna be dominant.’ And it just hasn’t worked out that way.”
Tony Gonzalez: “If ever there was somebody who played himself out of a Hall of Fame, it’s Russell Wilson…”
