He still throws the best and most indefensible deep ball in the game.
But he does not look the same as he did 3 years ago. Not like Brady and Rodgers do. I noticed the same thing with Brees at the end of his career.
Wilson relied quite a lot on his speed and agility to escape pressure and extend plays so he could throw those deep shots.
As you age that goes first.
He is not a stand tall in pocket guy because he's short.
But he is without a doubt still a franchise QB. I just don't know he'll ever be at that top 3 ceiling he enjoyed again.

Analysis: How Russell Wilson's move from Seattle became inevitable through front office tension | The Spokesman-Review
Tuesday’s breakup – and that feels like the proper term because from a purely football standpoint trading a Hall of Fame quarterback still in his prime was never something the Seahawks wanted to do – was in retrospect many years in the making.
Some turning points in the fraying of the relationship between Wilson and the team now seem obvious:
•The loss to Dallas in the wild-card round following the 2018 season when Wilson’s camp bristled that the Seahawks took too long to deviate from a run-dominated game plan in a 24-22 defeat, proof, Wilson’s camp felt, that Pete Carroll would forever stay devoted to winning through a running game and defense.
•Wilson’s agent, Mark Rodgers, giving the team an April 15 deadline on April 2, 2019, to get a new contract completed, a move that caught some as needlessly contentious given that the Seahawks had every desire to get a contract with Wilson done that year anyway.
•Carroll’s decision midway through the 2020 season, after Wilson had passed as never before the first two months, to revert to a more conservative offensive strategy following three losses in four games in which Wilson had 10 turnovers, which Wilson’s camp viewed as Carroll putting the blame on Wilson.
•And most obvious, Wilson’s public airing last February of his frustration over being hit as often as he has and his wish to have more say in team personnel matters, Wilson stating what some in his camp had whispered for years, that they felt the team wasn’t doing all it could to max out his prime years.
