This is one of those good problems to have, because you have an elite talent at qb who obviously doesn't want his prime years being wasted. Yes, he's selfish and probably thinking about long term goals like titles/HOF, but if he was easily replaceable he wouldn't dare think about speaking up like that.
Also yes I expect him to be reprimanded by Carroll for shitting on his offensive line in public like that.

Yeah, but there's a right and wrong way to go about it. Brees, Rodgers, Brady, others, come to work and quietly handle their business. Owners are not letting QBs play manager.
Carroll never has and never will reprimand Wilson, that is what destroyed the culture there in first place, LOL. They just let the QBs pout, and then ignore them and get back to work after offseason.
Wilson has sever deficiencies, he is too short to stand in the pocket and be a traditional pocket passer, especially short stuff over middle. He is a very good QB, but he is not Aaron Rodgers or Joe Montana.
It started in Seattle trading Pro-Bowl C for a TE, downhill from there. Wilson is right to whine about absence of better protection, but Seattle whiffed on many OL picks.
