Part 4/9:
The Case for Russell Wilson
While Stafford would undoubtedly provide immediate improvements, the argument for landing Russell Wilson is compelling. Both Rivardo and Wilson note that Wilson, if signed to a shorter-term deal, presents a viable solution that aligns with the risk-averse approach of sustainable success. Unlike Stafford, Wilson's experience and leadership could help guide a young quarterback across critical developmental stages without sacrificing future draft capital.
Moreover, Wilson's intangibles—his leadership qualities, championship experience, and ability to elevate surrounding talent—make him a more attractive option for the Giants' future than a risky move for Stafford, who may not have a long-term outlook with the franchise.
