Gonzalez, Sherman Question Russell Wilson’s Hall of Fame Case After Giants Bench Him

The on-air rebuke zeroed in on his 17-27 mark since departing Seattle.

Overview

  • During Prime Video’s Week 4 pregame, Tony Gonzalez said Wilson has "played himself out of a Hall of Fame" and added he hopes the NFL has seen the last of him.
  • Richard Sherman tied Wilson’s early success to Seattle’s Legion of Boom and cited a 17-27 record since the 2021 trade, including the Giants’ 0-3 start.
  • The commentary followed the Giants’ decision to sit Wilson and name rookie Jaxson Dart the starter after three games.
  • USA TODAY noted Wilson has dropped his last eight starts, spanning the Steelers’ 2024 finish and his opening run in New York.
  • Awful Announcing pointed to 2018–2020 in Seattle as countervailing context, with three straight playoff berths and stronger passing numbers than during the SeahawksSuper Bowl seasons.
