That means he is not throwing much compared to other QB's in the league but whenever he is throwing then he is making the most out of those opportunities.

And then they replaced him. Not sure that's a good formula in the long run. We'll see.HawkFan72":3cwlx2bo said:SeahawksFanForever":3cwlx2bo said:I am checking out advance stats on pro football reference website.

That is basically what the 49ers did with Alex Smith last year and he had a career year. Don't let him throw a lot, but when he does, put him in position to be good.

^This.Hasselbeck":1d621wvi said:And yet he averages 186 yards a game.
He's making all the right throws. The safe ones. But at some point this coaching staff needs to take the training wheels off this kid. The fact they're not doing that is odd. Either they don't think he can handle it, or we have some terrible play-calling going on right now.

While I agree Pete and Bevell need to let Russell throw it more, it's not entirely fair to say ALL they let him do is make the safe throws. Wilson's thrown a ton of long balls, and has 17 TD's.

I'm with the side that thinks the only stats that count are wins/losses. All the rest are merely things for fans to do with the wasted time between games.
:roll:

Haven't heard that said in awhile.
