1st Seahawks QB to have 3 straight starts w/out TD since Matt Hasselbeck in 2001

[313]

[Avante]

First QB in history to start their pro football career with two 100 QB ratings.

Winngest QB in history at this stage of their career.


Has that very rare three times more TD's than INTS. There are HOFers with more INT's than TD's.

How many QB's have won a playoff game in their first 4 seasons of pro football?


Lead the NFL with a 110.1 QB rating in 2015.


The guy never sat on a bench, he walked right in beat out the starter and then preceded to win more games than any QB in history and play in two SB in his first three seasons. By year two he had already won more SB's than.....

Dan Marino
Philip Rivers
Warren Moon
John Unitas
Dan Fouts
Jim Kelly
Fran Tarkenton
Cam Newton
Ken Anderson


.......combined.


And he has done all that without any GREAT receivers or TE's.

As of right now.....

Career numbers.

RW comp% 64.8, QB rating 100.3
Tom Brady 63.7, 97.0

How about Peyton Manning?
comp% 65.3
QB rating 96.5

Joe Montana?

I'm sure it makes you feel better to regurgitate all that non-sense, but the fact is, he really puts up high QB ratings, because he makes safe throws most of the game. Doesn't have the ability to consistently fit it in tight windows like a Brees or a Brady. He faced a struggling decimated defense and put up 13 points while Brees faced the best D in the league and scored pts on his final 6 possessions. RW is a good QB, but he's not as elite as the numbers you show. He basically makes plays out of the pocket and really waits till someone is wide open when throwing downfield. I was at the game yesterday and I wasn't that impressed. No doubt Jimmy Graham knows he will never put up the type of numbers in Seattle like he did with Brees.

[HarlemHeat37]

^^Wilson has never finished higher than 18th in the NFL in passing attempts, tbh..he's a good QB, but he's been put in a great position since he entered the league..he shows flashes of greatness, but he's only asked to play a role, most of the time..

Avante doesn't understand nuance, he's a simpleton, tbh..he recites useless, meaningless facts from his NFL encyclopedias..

[Avante]

Are you kidding me, hahahaha~~~~~~


It works like this, ok?

You wanna compare Brees or anyone to another player, well ya do with the same amount of experience, ok?

Here is Brees career, now compare his first 4 seasons and 8 games to Russell Wilson, tell me what you see.
http://www.pro-football-reference.co...B/BreeDr00.htm


Look at what Brady did before 27, ok?

http://www.pro-football-reference.co...B/BradTo00.htm

BUT.....Yes RW will never be on a level with Tom Brady or Drew Brees, or Joe Montana. or Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers, BUT......after 4 seasons and 8 games he played better than any of them, if ya don't believe me take a few minutes and check out the stats. RW has had the best first 4 seasons and 8 games ever seen.

Russell Wilson is 26 years old , ok? What 26 year old has played better, well?

When it comes to winning games, winning playoff games, SB's, stats, combined, what QB did it better than RW before 27 years of age?

[HarlemHeat37]

I lost respect for Wilson after he threw that INT in the SB..it was the worst play I've ever seen in the NFL..

They tried so hard to make him the hero and turn him into a superstar, rather than just handing it off to the best player on the field during that game..shameful, disgusting behavior from Wilson, I thought he was a team guy, tbh..

Even if the coach called it, you're telling me that a great QB wouldn't have overrode him, in that situation?

[313]

RW will never be on a level with Tom Brasdy or Drew Brees, or Joe Montana. or Peyton Mnning or Aaron Rodges

Agreed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

How many times is......NFL HISTORY....mentioned there? Now show me any QB who started out better than that, come on, who???????????

[benefactor]

I lost respect for Wilson after he threw that INT in the SB..it was the worst play I've ever seen in the NFL..

They tried so hard to make him the hero and turn him into a superstar, rather than just handing it off to the best player on the field during that game..shameful, disgusting behavior from Wilson, I thought he was a team guy, tbh..

Even if the coach called it, you're telling me that a great QB wouldn't have overrode him, in that situation?

Wilson thought he was on a mission from God tbh

why hast thou forsaken me

Wilson wanted to get that last second glory even though it belonged to Lynch. Even Lynch said it himself not long after the game. One of the most selfish plays I've ever seen and I've been watching the game for over 30 years.

[Avante]

HOFers Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Fran Tarkenton were a combined.....0-8 in SB's. Before his third season Russell Wilson was 1-0.

Seen them all since around 1959, the best young QB I've seen is Russell Wilson. And I'm a Niner fan. This is an amazing "YOUNG" QB, anyone not seeing that shouldn't be trying to talk pro football.

Can run, doesn't throw INT's, can make all the throws, smart, what else is there? And he's accomplished what he has without a Julio Jones, Marvin Harrison, Randy Moss, Chris Carter, A.J.Green, Calvin Johnson etc. No GRONK.

Look at...

wins
playoff success
comp &
TD/INT
rushing yards
QB rating

...for QB's not yet 27 years old, then show me what QB did it better than Russell Wilson, come on, let's see it.

Come on people stop acting like a bunch of ing rookies, ok? Compare what Tom Brady did BEFORE 27 VS RUSSELL WILSON....ok? And I'll do the work for ya.

Tom Brady

http://www.pro-football-reference.co...B/BradTo00.htm

Russell Wilson

http://www.pro-football-reference.co...W/WilsRu00.htm


And I;m not even factoring in the HUGE rushing advantage for RW.

Compare what Peyton Manning did.............BEFORE 27...ok?

http://www.pro-football-reference.co...M/MannPe00.htm

Look ya dumb s stop acting like a re because a guy is black or short ot doesn't play on your team, ok? Ya look like a bunch of ing morons playing that weak ass .

This is the great Drew Brees, ok rookies? Just look at his career BEFORE 27....ok? Now compare him to what RW has done, ok


http://www.pro-football-reference.co...B/BreeDr00.htm

Now ya take all the great QB's who was at their best before 27? WELL??????????

[Avante]

Look at Hasselbecks career at Seattle, he wouldn't make a zit on the butt of RW.


http://www.pro-football-reference.co...H/HassMa00.htm

[chunticakes]

Seattle should've ran the damn ball, tbh.

even yesterday instead of overthrowing the WR Wilson could've handed it off for a draw. Would've been a better play than throwing it out of the end zone.

[unleashbaynes]

Wilson is the definition of right place, right time, imo.....dude is a solid qb, that is capable if making all the throws.....but let's not pretend he's an all time QB talent.....

[Avante]

What we really don't want to do is ignore the fact Russell Wilson has had the best 4 seasons and 8 weeks we have seen from any QB.

If talking...

wins
playoff success
rushing yards
TD/INT
QB rating

...find me the QB who did it better at the same stage of their career.

[Clipper Nation]

Struggle Wilson is trash. The stats show it. The eye test shows it. But his stacked team carried him to an almanac list full of team accomplishments, so his slurpers will never admit it.

We all should have seen it coming when he compared himself to Porker before that season

Tell us all again about Derek "INT, FUMBLE, INT" Anderson ya ing idiot, hahahaha~~~~~~~~

Oh yes ya dumb let's talk about all those GREAT receivers RW has had, ok?

Are you really as ing stupid as you appear, it can't be possible.

[Clipper Nation]

Tell all again about Derek "INT, FUMBLE, INT" Anderson ya ing idiot, hahahaha~~~~~~~~

Oh yes ya dumb let's talk about all those GREAT receivers RW has had, ok?

We can start with Doug Baldwin and Jimmy Graham. That's already a million times better than what Hasselbeck had in 2001.

Face it, old got. Three straight starts. Zero TDs. Struggle is a below-average game manager AT BEST.

My God this er is dumb, sheesh~~~~~

Are you ing re ed?

Educate yourself son, ok?






This was the book on the stud. (left the NCAA as the all time passing efficency leader for a season)


Overview

Wilson is this year's big-time question mark at quarterback. Unlike those who have held this le in the past, Wilson is a ***stellar passer**** who shows arm strength and accuracy when he is able to deliver the ball without a hitch. A transfer from North Carolina St. over the summer,**** he has outstanding football intelligence**** as he picked up the Wisconsin offense in a short time and was the opening-day starter. However, at his height teams will have concerns whether or not he can see to make the throws at the next level. He is a mechanical mover who**** has strong technique and leadership qualities****. If Wilson were three inches taller there would be debate at the top of the draft as to where he fits in, but look for teams to take a flier on him in late rounds to see if he can develop and outplay his size.
Analysis

Strengths

Wilson is an accurate passer. He is a very mechanical quarterback who is consistent in his drop step and thoroughly understands how to move within the pocket and evade when the pocket collapses. He is an athlete and can torque his body to make any sort of throw on the run, and is accurate in this setting. He is a born signal caller who shows command of the offense. He has the arm strength to make the deep throws and the touch to put it on a receiver in stride. He is effective when scrambling and is a classic play extender. Weaknesses

Wilson's height will be his biggest inhibitor at the next level and the largest reason for his late-round value. It remains to be seen if he can throw effectively from the pocket at the next level.

[Avante]

Obviously without the best O line in the game, and that stud RB, Dak Prescott wouldn't be .

Where is Terry Bradshaw without HALL OF FAMERS...

Mike Webster
Franco Harris
Lynn Swann
John Stallworth
"Mean" Joe Greene (and L.C.Greenwood, Ernie Nevers and Dwiight White, THE STEEL CURTAIN)
Jack Lambert
Jack Ham
Mel Blount

Yep, he sucks.

Peyton had....

Edgerrin James...top 20 all time rusher
Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne both in the top 20 receivers.

Who is the great legendary QB without a supporting cast..............?

[Avante]

Who talks.....three weeks....anyway? And who ignores an athletes body of work?

Superbowl winner
NFL record holder....4000/30/500
winningest QB of all time at this stage of a career
Pro bowl MVP
NFL record....first two seasons with a 100 QB rating
A yard away from winning two SB in first three seasons
Tons of stats that are of historical importance

.... all that, it's all about the gimpy cat the last three weeks, hahahahaha~~~~~~~~

Has anyone noticed the guy can't run?

[Avante]

^^Wilson has never finished higher than 18th in the NFL in passing attempts, tbh..he's a good QB, but he's been put in a great position since he entered the league..he shows flashes of greatness, but he's only asked to play a role, most of the time..

Avante doesn't understand nuance, he's a simpleton, tbh..he recites useless, meaningless facts from his NFL encyclopedias..

Dude, do you understand all that really matters is winning? Talk about a simpleton, ha~~~~~ Russell Wilson is the winningest QB in NFL history ater 4 years and 8 weeks, ok rookie?


And if ya want to talk stats, NFL firsts, NFL records, who did it better before 28? Well?

Look at his receivers, not a GREAT one there.

Dude, a dummy like you caliing anyone a simpleton, ha~~~~~~

[Avante]

I do have my fun with this Russell Wilson thing, ha~~~~~

The guy transfers from NC to Wisconsin, they make him team captain. His senior season he breaks the NCAA single season passing efficency record. Compare his NCAA stats to Andrew Luck.


He arrives in Seattle, he beats out the cat who was suppose to be the QB, then he takes off....

Wins a playoff game
Wins the Superbowl
Comes up a yard short of winning another Superbowl
Wins a playoff game

While doing all that he becomes...

WinningestQB ever at that stage of a career
4000/30/500 NFL record
Leads the NFL with a 110.1 QB rating
Only QB in history to start a career with two 100 QB ratings.
Pro Bowl MVP
Three times more TD;s than INT's

Hahahahaha, watching you rookies with your.......HUH???

I challenge the board to give me another QB who had a moire successful first 4 seasons and 8 weeks, where is he, who is that, well?

This....but but he had Lynch and defense........that screams ROOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .....Manning had James and Harrison and Wayne, Johnny U had Berry, Moore and Mackey, Fouts had Muncie, Winslow, Joiner, Jefferson and Chandler and it goes on and on.........

How stupid is this......


Fan....Prescott can play~~~~
Clipper "You got" Nation..... got, he has the best O line in the league, a stud RB and Dez Bryant.
Fan...so he actually sucks?
Clipper "You got" Nation.... got.

Some of you dumb s need to drop this stupid.....but he's black. How ing dumb are you? When we read stupid like....Derek "WHITE" Anderson is better than Cam "BLACK" Newton, that says it all.

Nick Saban has a black QB for a reason as does Pete Carroll, ya think they might know a little football?

[Fabbs]

Pretty safe to say Wilsons knee and ankle are contributing to his suck streak.
