Can we pump the breaks on Russell Wilson?At this point it's more probable people are right that Mahomes is the next Wilson than it is he catches Brady.
Mahomes wasn't good in the Super Bowl but he was running for his life on a bad foot all night and his receivers didn't help him out much either. He's still likely to win to multiple league MVP's and Super Bowls. The one thing that may catch up with him is injuries. That said, Brady has set the bar so high now that no one, including Mahomes, will ever match it. However, Mahomes is already better than Wilson. Each is 1-1 in the Super Bowl but only Wilson threw a devastating pick to end the game (following a 4-pick game in the NFCCG). Mahomes is an all-pro with a league MVP award. Wilson is not. Wilson was a landslide MVP at the midway point of this season before he went turnover-happy in the second half. In one stretch of 3 losses Wilson had 9 turnovers.
I'm not saying Wilson isn't good, because he's an excellent quarterback, but he's not Mahomes, and he's come up really small in the some big moments. If he doesn't win another Super Bowl then he'll be most remembered for a completion to a db.
