Seahawks: Time to rest ailing quarterback

To the Seahawks coach and organization: Isn’t it about time to sit quarterback Russell Wilson down for three or four weeks or whatever it takes to get him healthy? It is sad to see him limp out every week, unable to scramble, and give his team that dimension of their game they so badly need.

Put the backup in for a few weeks and I’ll bet he will do just fine. Or is Wilson’s legacy more important than his own health and the health of our football organization?
