Russell Wilson could have been a Miami Dolphin

While I do believe Russell Wilson is a special player and would love to have him as our QB, I don't fault the Dolphins for their skepticism toward Bielema's promises.

It's so easy to look back and say "We should've drafted Kuechly in rd. 1 and Wilson in rd. 2 and we'd be set right now", but the truth is no one could've predicted Wilson going to 2 super bowls in his first 3 years in the league. And also, no one can guarantee that having Bielema as our HC and Wilson as our QB would = instant success.

So yeah, this can be seen as another disastrous episode by our front office (and we've had plenty), but like I said, that's easy to say 3 years later.
 
Anyone who watched Wilson in college could tell you he was special. He was a difference maker for a crappy NC State team. I watched him for 4 years and it was clear his intelligence was far superior than any defense he faced. He had the "it" factor. I didn't care if he fit in a size box or not, I wanted him in Miami big time. He might not have been as successful in Miami as he has been in Seattle but I do know he's better than Tannehill. This isn't a knock on our QB because I like him and feel he will be our guy long term. However Wilson is far better of a QB.
 
What I don't understand with this team is they know what it takes to win but they will never put it together. Once you get your QB, then protect the guy, put together a great defense and get yourself a RB. Easier said than done, ha? SMH!
 
We drafted the better QB. I'd be far more interested in Lynch or pieces of that elite defense.

I think alot of front offices would have been a little skeptical.
 
I get it and I hear it. But, can you imagine if the Dolphins didn't draft a Qb at # 8(like Tannehill but instead decided to draft a prospect like Wilson(Which nobody else was kicking the for down for)?

There is freaking absolutely NOBODY on this website, NFL Media etc that would have been like...GREAT MOVE MIAMI.

Thus give me a freak'in break!
 
Russell Wilson is the most overrated quarterback in the nfl. Guy has a once in a generation defense behind him. Lynch is the entire offense.

Wilson on Miami would be the same thing that Tannehill or worse. We would not be in the playoffs with Wilson.
 
I just want to say that I had the Bret Bielema scoop well before ESPN did. Look at my history guys. I had this scoop as it was happening. I was made fun of, bamboozled, and all of the above.
 
Wilson would be a twitching mass of humanity if he had to suffer behind this o-line with no Beast Mode and All-World defense to carry him. I like him, but I'll fully buy his hype when I see him without that supporting cast.
 
I still havent seen Wilson carry Anything ...... Except the ball into Lynchs belly And gatorade into his mouth while the defense holding on to life after 4 ints by Wilson . Lol .......
 
If anyone thinks that Wilson would have been as successful in the Dolphins organization as in Seattle, they are grossly mistaken. The majority of Wilson's success has been a product of having great complimentary crew around him. He also benefits from Beast Mode (who had 17 total TD's this season to Russell's 20 passing TD's) and a defense that can shut an opposing team down at will. Not a knock on Wilson, I'm a huge fan of watching him play and seeing how he responds in tough situations. But again, that mentality is a team mentality where no one will quit on him and the team around him refuses to lose.

The Dolphins organization would have found a reason to throw him under the bus for being too short and for running too much. Seattle/Carroll has that dog mentality where they will claw their way with who they have. Wilson fits Seattle well.
 
Remember guys, it is a team sport... you need the o-line, you need a running game, u need a defense... Russell Wilson gets the job done when needed, he doesnt lose games for the team. He does what is needed and what is called upon him. If we had Beast Mode in our back field would we use him... ummm YEAH!!!

Russell Wilson: 63% completions, 3,475 yards, 20 TDs, 7 INT, (849 yards rushing, 6 TDs).... I wouldnt complain on his play at all... in superbowl again, already with a ring!!!
 
This story is probably true, but Ireland prided himself on selecting players that met his criteria for height, speed, weight, etc. He was taught by Parcells and the one occasion that they ignored the size parameters for QB, was when they drafted Pat White. Bielema effectively eliminated himself from consideration by expressing his desire for Russell Wilson. Ireland would have walked out of that meeting thinking that he cannot be dictated by a college coach who doesn't understand that a QB has to be over 6'2". I bet Ireland privately called him an idiot.
