Some Wilson love to start it all off :mrgreen:
But then we go back to a stat that interests me, that sadly involves QBR. I don't believe QBR is perfect, but it gets moderately close, and the discrepancy in numbers here cannot be ignored.
Colin Kaepernick has a 83.0 QBR while inside the pocket. Pretty darn good, right? Force him outside the pocket, that number drops like a rock to 15.6. Wilson, for comparison, is much more balanced, with a 77.0 inside the pocket, and a 62.5 outside.
Even though QBR is a flawed stat, that is a big discrepancy. Just thought it should be noted.

Colin Cowherd's latest conversation with NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell closes with Cowherd asking Cosell whether Seattle's Russell Wilson is the real deal.
"Well, the film tells you that he is a pretty good player," Cosell replied.
The response sounded measured, but that tends to be Cosell's style. He doesn't have a hyperbolic mode.
"What I really like about him, he is very decisive, which is why he can make pocket throws because he does not allow the rush to get to him," Cosell said of Wilson. "And when the rush does get to him, his movement is very defined. He is not frenetic. He is not chaotic. He moves for a reason. He knows where everybody is and he can throw the ball extremely well on the run at the intermediate and deeper levels."
