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

Wilson vows to stay to help Jaxson Dart after losing the job for Week 4.

Overview

  • Giants coach Brian Daboll named rookie Jaxson Dart the starter after an 0-3 opening that included Wilson’s two-interception, zero-touchdown outing in a 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.
  • On Amazon’s Thursday Night Football, Gonzalez said Wilson has “played himself out” of Canton, and Sherman agreed while pointing to Wilson’s success with Seattle’s Legion of Boom.
  • Sherman cited Wilson’s 17-27 mark as a starter since leaving the Seahawks as evidence his late-career slide has damaged his résumé.
  • Robert Griffin III pushed back on the broadcast critiques, saying the NFL legends did Wilson “so dirty” and arguing the quarterback deserves more respect.
  • Wilson told reporters he is “not done,” will not seek a trade, and intends to mentor Dart, who is set for his first NFL start against the Chargers at MetLife Stadium.
