As an aside, this conversation provides a pretty interesting context for quarterback evaluation. Although Seattle's Pass Offense DVOA has actually increased from last season (35.9% from 27.4%), Wilson's PFF grades and QBR have gone downhill. Neither of these systems credit the QB with YAC accrual, and his statistical profile doesn't suggest decline in any category beyond YPA and %YAC. It seems likely that his increasingly mediocre PFF/QBR results are directly related to these changes.
Metrics measure exactly what we tell them to measure. YPA (yards per attempt) goes down, completion percentage goes up, QBR goes down, passer rating goes up. Passer rating isn't a perfect stat (probably overvalues completions), but neither is QBR (probably undervalues effect of QB on YAC).

Much more high percentage completion rate short passes, screens and quick outs. Which is why Russell's completion percentage is up, but his yards per attempt is way down.
I would like to see more downfield passing, but after three games it looks like Pete and Darrell are content with this low risk play action and motion off of Percy structure scheme.
And all I can think is Pete challenged Wilson to hit 70% completion rate. Pete already expected the opponents to change up their defenses.Sgt. Largent":13gcm9b8 said:We all were wondering what having a healthy Percy Harvin would do to our offense, this article explains it.
