'Some kind of marriage counseling or something' — Former Seahawk teammate speaks up on Richard Sherman continuing to take shots at Russell Wilson

"I don't think (Sherman's stance) is right. If we did that for every player, that means Russell Westbrook isn't a Hall of Famer. That means Carmelo Anthony, his last two years...I think it's an unfair statement. I think that Russell and Sherm need to go to some type of marriage counseling or something, where they both just get in there and hash it out. I think Sherm's assessment of Russell's career is unfair. I think Russell has done everything he needed to do, I think he hasn't had that kind of success over the last couple of years to be considered one of those old-school greats — be still great at the level that he was, like how Tom (Brady) left New England and went to Tampa Bay and won a championship. I think at the end of the day, I'm going to say Russell is a Hall of Famer."

Russell Wilson's Post-Seattle Seahawks Career

• Denver Broncos: 30 starts (11-19 record), 6594 passing yards, 42 passing touchdowns, 19 interceptions
• Pittsburgh Steelers: 11 starts (6-5 record), 2482 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, 5 interceptions
• New York Giants: 3 starts (0-3 record), 786 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 3 interceptions — Year To Date

Wilson's post-Seattle career certainly hasn't played out how many expected. Given the haul of draft picks and the monster contract he received from the Denver Broncos, Wilson was certainly expected to be the chef of a major turnaround in Denver. But those shortcomings and disappointments should be considered a footnote relative to his peak.

Less than 100 yards away from 14th place all-time in career passing yards, 12th place all-time in career passing touchdowns, 5th place all-time in passer rating, and a Super Bowl championship certainly feels like a Hall of Fame resume — regardless of the disappointments after Seattle or even the contributions to how that version of Seattle ended up falling apart.
