Was that train made in New England?
Now we get to see what kind of a GM John Schneider actually is. Fielding a championship team is much more difficult when you're hamstrung by a franchise QB...just ask Trent Baalke.
Except, of course, Baalke is only pretending to have a franchise QB. No, paying him big money does not make him a real franchise QB. For evidence see; Cutler, Jay: Chicago Bears. Position, not franchise QB.
If Brady gets eight games or season, Henry has summed up the Pats' playoff hopes.
The commitment to Kaep is also pretty hollow, they supposedly can dump him before the league year every year and be protected. He's certainly not a franchise QB, but he's being paid like one and their cap is devoted to him annually. Wilson will become the highest paid player in NFL history and then Andrew Luck will surpass him.
Somehow the Patriots won 11 games with Matt Cassell.
Jimmy "the new Flutie" Garoppolo would up next. Says he's 6'-3" but there ain't no way unless he grew since last year's senior bowl.

Schneider wants to take a page out of the TT handbook. No more then 4 years. And not pay him in the elite QB class either:
According to My Northwest, Seattle has offered Wilson a four-year extension at $20 million per year. That would make his four-year total $80 million. That is far from $120 million. In fact, it is $40 million less than that. This season, he will still earn $1.5 million to play.
Jason La Canfora from CBS Sports has given fans more insight into the contract negotiations.
“What I know is the Seahawks’ initial offer looked very much like the sort of band-aid bridge contracts that went to Andy Dalton and Colin Kaepernick, according to sources, with signing bonuses more in line with the $11 million Seattle handed out recently to Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas, and a pay-as-you-go structure like the lesser Dalton/Kaepernick deals. The average per year is nowhere close to the range of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, and with Ben Roethlisberger recently joining that club and Andrew Luck and Cam Newton poised to do the same in the next 12 months, I would be absolutely shocked if Wilson did any deal that wouldn’t put him among the best in the game.”
Smart move from Schneider, I think they need to find out what life will be like without Lynch before they commit to Wilson long term. Can he carry that franchise without Lynch? I think with better receivers and a better OL he could, but it's hard to justify paying him like Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning when all that he's proven is that he's smart enough to run the offense, he is an exceptional runner, he doesn't turn the ball over often (except in the NFCC or in the SB), and he's unselfish with the spotlight. If he can't carry the team on his own then he shouldn't be paid like a QB that can, right now Lynch carries that team.
I think that's underselling Wilson slightly. I think Wilson's in the Flacco tier of QBs: Franchise guys, very good, but not elite. Rodgers, Manning, Brady, Brees, then probably Roethlisberger, Eli and Luck, then there's that group of guys like Flacco, Romo, Wilson, etc. that any team who doesn't have one of the elite or top guys would be more than happy with and can ascend to the next group for a year or so at least. I liken Dalton and 2014 Kaepernick to guys whom teams say "We need to get by with".
@TheShadefiles: Getting Married? Ciara and Russell Wilson Says They Will Stay Celibate Until Marriage!
@JimmyTraina: Russell Wilson on dating Ciara: "God spoke to me and said I need you to lead her. … He goes, no, I want you and need you to lead her."
@PackerRanter: Moses was chosen by god to lead his people out of slavery in Egypt. The same god has chosen Russ Wilson to lead a pop singer somewhere.
Wow, SERIOUS update there, Russ.
Except for the fact that she ain't putting out, I guess.

Did God mention leading receivers on 1 yard slant patterns?
ridiculous. hey, russ, that ain't God. it's called your conscience and you can choose to ignore it if you want. dude is approaching delusion in a grand way.
Celibate?
Guess she has him whipped if true.
P.S. I highly doubt this is true
Some of the comments are pure gold...
"This guy should know by now not to get all fancy trying to score- just pound it in. I swear some people will never learn"
"I’m pretty sure even Jesus would be banging her, Russ"
I like this comment from CJ's link:
“Hey Russ, we know you want $25M a year, but what would you do if we took all that “extra stuff” off the table, and just did it Jesus’ way?”
- Pete Carroll and John Schneider
Tim Tebow had the same philosophy:
Let's say Russ holds his water. Plays 2015 on his $1.5 million deal. Suffers a career ender in week 4. Ciara leaves him for a cant miss baseball prospect.
This scene is happening in 2016.
But Wilson also says God spoke to him after that fateful interception at the end of Super Bowl XLIX.
“The play happens, and they pick the ball off. And I take three steps,” Wilson said. “And on the third step God says to me, ‘I’m using you. . . . I want to see how you respond. But most importantly I want them to see how you respond.”
Did anyone check to see if the Pats hacked his helmet audio? The snickering in the background might of gave it away Russ.
"Hey guys, I'm going to tell him not to tap that ass".
ya know, the more I read that quote - "but most importantly I want them to see how you respond" - the more self-serving and egotistical it gets. seems Russ thinks he's the chosen one. he sure believes he's got a direct line to God and that God gives a **** about pro football. I'd sure like to see seattle struggle mightily this year just to see what God has to say to Russ about that. probably get some Job quotes....
I was at a higher education conference in Madison a few years ago, and one of the keynote speakers was a woman from NC State. I happened to sit by her during the lunch and talked about Wilson and mentioned "how it looks like Wisconsin got a good one from you guys".
Her response was along the lines of "You can have him. I've met the young man and he seems to think he's God's gift."
Seems she was spot on with that assessment...
The Fall will be spectacular.
God spoke to him and told him his plan is for Russ to make 25 mil per year and that anal and blow j's don't count as sex.
"I'm using you...I want to see how you respond"
No problem. Totally get this. Learned long ago to never question someones faith or beliefs or that God is talking directly to them (unless they were told to detonate a bus or something)
"But most importantly I want them to see how you respond"
There's a whole lot of delusional WTF in that statement. While I'm cool with Russ Wilson's faith I'm also starting to think Russ Wilson might be bat**** crazy.
Russell is a leader. Leaders must lead the leaderless, otherwise we will be directionless. Russell has been put on this earth to guide us. And all of you have the arrogance to question his special calling? ppffft.

Between you and Kiel you're going to have to start a Tebow lust cult.
You are totally right, Henry. Whoa, wait a minute. Tebow is in the picture.

I can understand seeing double, but I've never seen it manifested by someone posting double.
