Proving Russell Wilson is Decidedly Better Now Than Tom Brady Was in Early 2000s

Articles like that are unfair to RW. They have so much projection and 'what ifs', just let the kid grow and continue to improve. They lead to unnecessary criticism and resentment from everyone that reads it (except Hawk fans most likely)

Rivers better than Ryan? SMH
Where have I gone overboard crowning a young QB besides Luck? I've made small comments on Teddy but never said something like he's better than a young TB
RW gets the resentment because of the (perceived) over praise he gets like this article.
Temecula, NOW.
brad johnson , dilfer, russell. jeff hostetler.I have a question, what does Seattle's defense have to do with Wilson's ability to quarterback an offense?
Notice I didn't ask how they help, or anything of that nature.
What does that defense do that directly impacts his play on the field? Does Sherman come off the bench and catch passes? Is Cam Chancellor out there blocking on the line?
And before anybody dismisses this argument as silly, just remember taking credit away from somebody who goes out there and does well enough for his team to go to back-to-back SBs is just as silly. Because if it's that easy to win a super bowl with a so called average quarterback and a monster defense, it would've been done plenty of times throughout the years.
Some of you let other people's opinion of somebody ruin your common sense, and it's ridiculous.
Seattle has a great defense - checkAlso, since it hasn't been posted on this page yet:
It's time to stop pretending that Wilson is only good because he's on a team with a strong run game and defense. Seattle's offense finished fifth in weighted DVOA (measures efficiency, not rate stats) in 2014 -- a feat they simply could not have accomplished without Wilson captaining the offense -- both in the run game and the passing game.
Similar to how Lynch and Wilson relied on each other in a symbiotic run-game relationship, so too did Seattle's offense and defense. Seattle's offensive group helped the defense establish itself as the cream of the crop by consistently putting together long drives (averaged over 3:00 per drive, third in the NFL), dominating time of possession (third in the NFL at over 32 minutes per game), and by scoring at a consistently high rate (ninth most points per drive). This despite the fact that Wilson was by far the most pressured quarterback in the NFL (on 34 percent of dropbacks). Seattle doesn't pick their linemen because they're good in pass pro, you see, but Wilson was still second in pass DVOA (value per play) when under pressure.
If you're still not convinced, consider this stat, because it helps paint a picture of what kind of passer a quarterback really is without pressure and volume involved. In 2014, Wilson finished third in passing DVOA among quarterbacks when facing no pressure, behind only Aaron Rodgers and Tony Romo. In other words -- when Wilson could sit back and throw without a defender instantly in his face, he balled out.
common sense is not so commonFix, correct, and erase mistakes.
ANY other team gives Aaron Rodgers the ball, with 4 INT's AND a fumble recovery, they gettin blowed out. BLOWED out.
Seattle does it. 19 points. Nineteen. On FIVE turnovers.
That doesn't "help" an offense?
Seattle gets a Safety, a Kick Return TD, and a pick 6, in the Super Bowl, holding Peyton Manning scoreless for over half the game, that doesn't help an offense?????
Really that hard to figure out?

So he's average or below average because his defense is great.It annoys me that people over look these facts....
And why is it important that Wilson is top 10? So what if he's avg?
I just don't get what people say that's so great about the guy... He was trash in that NFC championship until the Bubblegum **** started working... People just don't want to see the truth...
