This is why I'm picking this team to represent the NFC in SB...
Russell Wilson is asked why, as one of the greatest players of his generation, he hasn't won an MVP award. His answer is telling.
"It's not something I really think about," Wilson says. "But if I had to guess, I think there are people just beginning to really notice me."
It's a remarkable statement. It's also remarkably accurate. Wilson has long been an almost cloaked superhero. Playing in Seattle, outside the traditional NFL media power centers, as well as his low-key personality, has led to his greatness being overlooked.
There has never been a player in the history of the NFL who has, at the same time, been so impactful, so important to the league, so remarkable and, in so many ways, almost invisible. Or, at least, that's how it used to be

Probably no more than those who live in packer land or other locals. But since the seahawks have won the superbowl, everyone is a fan. Don't have a clue about the team and only know their stars, but they are "big fans".@"greediron" said: Please no. The Seahawk fans are already insufferable. Worse than Packer fans? Cowboy fans? Saints fans? Just funny to hear someone slam Seahawk fans.
Seattle loses it's #1,#2,#3, running backs the last 3 weeks sure seemed to make a difference.
When a team suffers several personnel losses at one position, at some point it's just not fixable.
We'll see if Seattle can be the exception to the rule.......

That's a huge association I have with him. It says a lot about character to run away during a scandal.

Yup. Ol Violet Beauregaurd was a little perplexed at the end of the game delay penalty as well. Loved seeing that look.
