What the Seahawks and 12s all hope is that whoever happens to be Russell Wilson‘s backup never is forced to enter a game. That would mean something very bad has happened and Seattle would be a lesser team. Wilson, thankfully, has never missed a game in his eight-year career and hopefully he never will. But that seems unlikely as everyone misses a game or three over their careers.
So Seattle has a near-yearly search for Wilson’s backup. Last year Geno Smith was backup to Wilson and the year before that it was Brett Hundley and the year before that it was Austin Davis.
