4 years agoRussell Wilson finished as QB7 overall in 2020, and his 40 touchdown passes were a new career-high. But a deeper look at the production reminds us that it was a tale of two halves for Wilson. In his first eight games, Wilson threw for 2,541 yards, 28 touchdown passes, and eight interceptions, and in the second half, he totaled 1,671 yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions. Defenses did a much better job of taking the deep ball away later in the season, as he averaged 8.6 yards per attempt in the first half and 6.4 in the second half. Wilson was sacked five times and held to 174 passing yards in an NFC Wild Card loss to the Rams, spurring some public frustration. That led to the Seahawks bringing in former Rams quarterbacks coach Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator, adding veteran guard Gabe Jackson and tight end Gerald Everett, and drafting dynamic No. 3 WR prospect D'Wayne Eskridge. With the addition of Jackson to an offensive line that struggled to stay healthy down the stretch, a refined approach to attacking defenses under Waldron, and a trio of upside playmakers at WR, Wilson should be steadier in 2021 and remains a solid pick as the seventh QB off the board. He appears focused on putting a frustrating 2020 behind him and has settled into concentrating on playing better overall this season while drama about his future in Seattle has been put on hold for now.--Scott Engel - RotoBaller
