Everybody has been throwing around their Russell Wilson takes since he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the overwhelming majority of them have been positive. If you were looking for another feel-good story about how perfect the union is between Wilson and the Steelers, turn away now. Nick Wright offers quite a different opinion.
“The level of excitement surrounding Russ is baffling to me,” Wright said on his What’s Wright podcast posted on YouTube. “The answer is he’s not good anymore. He’s not good anymore. Now, is he better than Kenny Pickett? Probably.”
If you compare Wilson to the standard he set for himself earlier in his career with the Seattle Seahawks, then I suppose it is fair to say he is not good anymore, or at least not as good.
