Yeah, it could be (a) defensive/offensive adjustment, (b) use of the spread, or (c) the line playing better.
Or it could just be the variance of small sample sizes.
I think you can take all three of those nobs and crank them as hard in any direction you want and you're still not going to see Wilson go for 50 tds and 2 ints OR 20 tds and 15 ints across a full season.
We'll find out if they ever get an offensive line to stay together, but I'd bet on Russell being a lot closer to the 50-2 than he is to the 20-15 guy.
No one has ever thrown for a 25:1 ratio, so it won't happen by any QB this season or for a long time, if ever. Many QBs have thrown for a barely better than 1:1 ratio, so it could happen to a good number of QBs this year.
Wilson still doesn't have the experience or supporting cast to get it done....good OL or not. Rodgers throwing 46 TDs to 6 INTs in 2011 was insane all in itself, and it wasn't even 8:1....
BTW, I cannot recall the last time a team won the SB with the QB throwing 40+ TDs. Cam last year, Brees in 2011, Rodgers in 2011....Romo close to that in 2014....Peyton Manning any number of seasons....Brady in 2007, 2011...
Quick stat check: Kurt Warner in 1999 did it.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was the only one to do so ever.
