Frightening Thought: Russell Wilson will get better

To me the most exciting thing about this stretch of football that's being played right now is the thought that Russell Wilson will continue to get better. His peak, through improved reading of defenses, improved ability to adjust protections and audible to plays based on the defense, improved awareness of passing lanes, and many other skills that can be sharpened even further, may still be years away.

The thought that Jim Harbaugh knows this and is confronted with it every waking moment fills me with joy.

Whiners already consider him as the next Kurt Warner, as in he is going to be a pain for years to come....

Rams fans say he is overrated.

Seriously though, how much better can he do? He's now got the 4th Highest QBR of all time (99.3) so I guess there is room for a little improvement. Under him his team went on a scoring run unmatched for 62 years. It's kind of mind boggling what's next. Well an SB of course. I'm ready to enjoy the ride.

It's time for the newest episode of "Ram Rules"!

With your help, the 12th Ram(TM) can help the team get Dome Field Advantage(TM)!

They'll get a chance to figure that out on Sunday.

Wilson is slowly inching his way to that god-like elite level of production from the QB position where he's "pissing lightning and crapping thunder", as prophet-ized by Tech Worlds on 5/9/2012.

Sadly, I should add that Dom's predictive statement was in jest on that day.

Here's the thing about Wilson that a lot of people haven't realized yet; he's having the season he's having while running his third offensive system in three years. His ability to process information so quickly is impressive.

Now, if we can get him a true game breaker to throw to, this offense will be truly scary, and will cement us as legitimate title contenders for the next five years and beyond.

Well let's not forget that Wilson definately was at the helm of this scoring run, it was a team effort. The Arizona game for instance wilson only threw for 1 td. There are definately area's he can improve on. And he will be the first to tell you.

I find it very exciting personally.

The dude is 10-5 and has taken his team to the playoffs. Over-rated? Hell no

That's because they have their own overrated QB on the roster.

Lovecraftian horror - excellent! Straight from The Necronomicon...

Dude is 10-5 and he is only 5,10!

How bout that juxtaposition!

Will the RAMS ever win 10 games ... with their $50 millions QB also known as Sam Bradford?

He'll get better once we get better receivers.

exactly what I was about to post. I think we draft another Doug Baldwin or Golden tate type of playing or maybe get one VIA FA which I doubt will happen. You guys have to remember though Doug Baldwin had been battling injuries all year long and we finally have him back. This team got healthy at the right time. We will go deep into the playoffs and I think this is our year.

I think that's what people are confused about. Many of us are excited about the future, not just this year performance. And we are surprised that it happened now.

That's what I DON'T want. I want someone who can run routes, flash open in the first two seconds pf the play, give us some quick short/intermediate options, rather than forcing Wilson to double-clutch from the pocket ten times and then scramble a la SF. He's amazing at it, but eventually I fear it's going to get him killed. I'd like DeAndre Hopkins or Markus Wheaton.

The Seahawks haven't armed Wilson with the Hurry-Up yet. They probably have been working on it and most likely will break it out next week. I am not sure how much freedom he has with audibles either. So he should get better as time goes on and he has full command of the playbook.

Wilson is very smart and is constantly doing what he can to make himself and this team better even if that means coming in to work early and staying late to study film etc. IMO he WILL only get better as time progresses. Ceiling is really high for this kid, and dare I mention it, but I do not think he will have a "Sophomore Slump". We have finally found our elite franchise QB!
