Willie McGinest 2013: "News Flash! Russell Wilson is good from inside the pocket too!"
Love Willie, smart man, doesn't allow past loyalties to color his commentary, and is smart in every way. The NFL needs more like him.
So this storyline that Russell can't throw from the pocket is nothing new.
This just in! Brock Osweiler missing open receivers and getting his passes tipped at the line of scrimmage! Diagnosis? Too short and can't play from within the pocket!!!
In the interest of full disclosure, when B.O. first came out, I figured he would be a perennial 8 and 8 QB. Perfect for Jeff Fisher. I liked him but I didn't think he would ever be capable of more than throwing bubble screens and screen plays. Mainly because that's all he did at Arizona. Boy was I wrong!
But I credit Gary Kubiak who imaho, is one of the best HCs in the NFL. He's Mike Shanahan without the arrogance. A magician with a QBs best friend, the running game, and able to craft a game plan to over ride a QBs limitations.
If Kubiak were ever to be fired in Denver, I would hope that we hire him to be Pete's heir apparent.
