I can't disagree more with this topic. The biggest difference between Wilson to Smith i've liked is him getting the ball out and not holding it and taking sacks. Russ was literally incapable of having a good game against teams that have a legitimate pass rush and is why he was terrible in the playoffs outside of a couple playoff games in his first 2 years and impossible later.
Russ backyard offense works against teams with mediocre/bad pass rushes, against any team with a good a pass rush he pretty much never had a good game. To be able to take deep shots you need time for the play to develop and throw it down field and against elite pass rushes it's not happening, it's not how you do football, unless MAYBE you can playfake.
The 49'ers defense is one of the most dangerous in years that has played and you want him to try to throw deep? That is a recipe for disaster. Against elite defenses you are going to need quick throws and maybe screens to keep them off balance.
Hear! Hear!
"Thanks to Sunday's performance, Geno Smith capped his stunning comeback season by setting Seahawks franchise records for completions (399), pass attempts (572), completion percentage (69.8) and passing yards (4,282), becoming the first Seattle quarterback to lead the NFL in completion percentage since Dave Krieg in 1991 (65.6)."
We can put an asterisk by some of this due to the 17 game season, but not the franchise completion % record. Smith owns that one, not Wilson.
It's been an impressive year. Spoiling the 9ers run would just be more gravy on top of our gravy.
