http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... se-in-2013» Last week, I wrote that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck should be the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, but after watching Seattle Seahawks signal-caller Russell Wilson continue to improve, I'd like to change my vote (as I'm entitled to do). The more I see of Wilson, the more I like him; he's like a golfer who shoots 100 one week, 90 the next and 80 the week after that. At this point, I'd give the award to Wilson over Luck.

Move over, Panthers (which is my hometown team, and I'd been going to 3 games a year). All because of Russel Wilson. He will no doubt win the Seahawks more fans similar to me by the time he's done. He's my favorite athelete of all time, hands down. I feel blessed just being around to watch him play.
Kind of hard to top Tom Brady as the greatest draft day bargainEvil_Shenanigans":2i9kargx said:Great read. Anybody hear Howie Long on the halftime show the other night? His kids played against Wilson in High School. And he was saying he was doing the same things back then; whooping up on them every time they played! This (Russell Wilson's story) is, among other things a true motivational tool for every other kid out there who wanted to be somebody and was shunned due to a physical "handicap" of some kind! If I were his manager I would have him booked at every lecture I could in the off season! Squeaky Wheel indeed!
Wilson will go down as the greatest Draft day bargain of all time! And he is the franchise quarterback that Seahawks fans have been waiting a lifetime for! :179422:
Go Hawks!

I wonder if Pete ever wakes up at night in a cold sweat and thinks "My God, we passed over him twice. We could have lost him". I'm so glad we didn't lose him.
