Wilson led the NFL in passing touchdowns in 2017 (34) and passer rating in 2015 (110.1), all while dealing with some of the worst offensive lines in recent NFL history.
Ton of wishful thinking there.MarylandHawk":3baccivt said:https://saintswire.usatoday.com/201...idgewater-drew-brees-russell-wilson-seahawks/

I hope you are right but I am not nearly as confident as you.

I think it hard to compare quarterback verses quarterback. It's not like a tennis comparison where they go head to head. I get the connection made in measured frame height and eye height which is lower to the ground than most quarterbacks and within 2 inches for each of these two. But, there are a lot of other aspects where these two quarterbacks are just different.
I've often toyed with thoughts as to which players are easier to block for. And of, which of these two quarterbacks facilitates/accommodates blocking more than the other. It's a question similar to which of the leagues running backs facilitate/accommodate run blocking the best. And, although I've come to favor one of these two quarterbacks as owning an edge over the other in that regard, Max Unger's thoughts on the subject would be of very great interest to me. It's a most inviting question for a retired Max Unger after he becomes available to reflect on his distinguished NFL career in both Seattle and New Orleans.
..................... back on topic. The Russell Wilson offense is built around Russell Wilson. And, he has become the master of that offense ..... in Seattle. Just as, Drew Brees has became the master of his offense in New Orleans.

I beg to differ the offense we run is not built around and for Wilson, this is the offense Pete wants to run and he has said so. The closest we have seen in the NFL of an offense built around and for Wilson was 2015. Just because someone can perform well in an offense doe snot mean it is built around or for them.
My question to Unger would be do you still “short snap” your QB?Jville":2tetz56o said:John63":2tetz56o said:Jville":2tetz56o said:As a side note ................

Plenty of room for differing opinions here at seahawk.net. This forum is wonderful in that regard.
Still, I'm looking forward to the prospect of hearing from Max Unger concerning his thoughts on the subject. He processes first hand on the field and in the locker room insight and experience with both offenses and both quarterbacks.
