Russell Wilson announced his retirement earlier this week, ending the 14-year career of by far the best quarterback in Seattle Seahawks franchise history. While the past few years have not represented the best of Wilson, any sensible fan will remember the grander times, including when Wilson lifted Seattle’s first Lombardi Trophy 12 years ago.
This weekend’s discussion post is all about sharing your favorite Wilson plays. There are no shortage of off-script magical moments he’s pulled off, maybe most chaotically this circus act that had Bruce Arians in shambles when Seattle beat the Arizona Cardinals.
Or against the team he dominated forever, the San Francisco 49ers…
Oh yeah, and the Los Angeles Rams can get some of this…
And there were the clutch moments. More specifically the clutch moments in the playoffs. He has two game-winning touchdown passes in NFC Championships, but one was certainly more memorable than the other.
In the regular season, he gave us walkoffs…
…And he gave us an instant classic in a year in which he had to carry far more of the offense than is reasonable.
We haven’t even relived his scrambles and his dominant performances as a rusher, including his three rushing touchdowns in the first half against the Buffalo Bills as a rookie.
What a ride it’s been. And to think, the NFL’s tribute video included 22 minutes of his moon balls. There are few quarterbacks in the history of the sport with a deadlier deep ball than Russ.
