Wilson is far better than Dak.
Wilson can buy buy buy time at a high level and he's just a much better player then Dak.
Really what can Dak do better?
If you're going to pay elite QB prices then it would be nice to actually have an elite QB.
Wilson is in no way elite at all. His only success in this league came when he had one of the best defenses the league has ever seen. His defense saved him so many times in the playoffs. What has he did since he became the focal point and that defense went away? Nothing at all. In fact, Dak schooled him head to head in the playoffs. Russell always gets this early season hype and then falls off, limps into the playoffs and fizzles out quickly.
Russell would not elevate this team at all. Heck, even the worse defenses he had later in his career are light years better than ours that Dak played with.
Russell barely squeaked out a win against the Eagles no name backup last year in the wild card round and this year, his offense looked like junk and he lost to a gimpy Goff who the Rams did not even want any longer.
Yeah, that screams elite. If you want to say he was elite for those 2 or 3 years early in his career, I guess. But he is in no way elite right now. In fact, I only see 2 elite QBs at this moment. Brady and Mahomes. Unless you throw the word elite around to anyone out there.
