Russell Wilson is back to work

TXHawk · Mar 31, 2014

Here's an interesting bit of info from Peter King's MMQB:
http://mmqb.si.com/2014/03/31/jim-kelly ... terback/2/

I asked Pete Carroll abut the continued development of Russell Wilson, and he told me two interesting things: He thinks Wilson can be a 70-percent passer, and Wilson and Percy Harvin are already throwing together this off-season. And also this: Carroll will not be going light on Wilson now that he’s won a Super Bowl. “He needs all the attention that everyone else needs, and he’s gonna get it,’’ Carroll said. “Russell’s just a young guy figuring it out. Of course, he applies himself so well that you think that he’s okay. I think that would be a tragic mistake. He’s just developing. He’s just coming on. He needs work fundamentally. He needs work on the principles of what we’re doing. He needs repetitions with the guys that he plays with. All of that will just continue to add to his play. So we’re not going to treat any differently than anybody else. We’re gonna battle like crazy to make him push his game as far as he can take it. So that’s what this offseason is about. He’ll be available as much as a guy can be available. He’s already traveling with our guys. Throwing with our guys. Working out with guys all over the country. He’s ringing the bell now. Wherever he goes, they know he’s coming. He’s gonna get them out and get them on a field somewhere, and throw the ball around, and do something with the fellas.’’

Wow reading between the lines I'm sensing a potential QB schism here. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we see an epic battle between Russ and Tjack for the starting position this offseason. # alwayscompete

Sarcasm flags are your friends I suggest using them now and again.

Carry on good sir.

I love our QB.

Remember when Charlie Whitehurst wouldn't even organize a workout during the lockout?

Never take RW for granted.

Thats not entirely true. I heard this is one of the "workouts" CBJ tried to organize

HawkFan72 · Mar 31, 2014

haha probably accurate.

Isn't the jump in quality of play for a QB usually considered to be the most significant between years 2 and 3?

brimsalabim · Mar 31, 2014

I have always heard that time frame but I don't know if the clock starts with the first start or just with the general length of time acclimating to the pro game. Russell May have been ahead of the curve. Any way the important thing I took from this is that Pete has a young QB with potential that will do things the way he wants them done.

Sounds about right, third year is the jump, IMO.

I'm sure 4th and 5th year, a QB can still improve, but the 2-3 jump I would imagine can be the best opportunity to make a significant leap.

Great reading that about Pete and Russell, though not really a surprise given the nature of each.

That anecdote about Ralph Wilson was awesome.

mikeak · Mar 31, 2014

RW back to work already?

Guess I should stop celebrating then

I've heard from various sources that a QB usually peaks around year 4. I'm not sure which year is the biggest jump; I'm guessing it's different for every QB.

I honestly think Wilson's growth was stunted a bit by poor OL play/injuries last year. The biggest thing he needs to work on is seeing the entire field/getting deeper into progressions. Many times the 3rd option is open and he's missed it. I don't think he got to work on that last year when he was averaging 2 secends before pressure got to him.

If he can improve on this, we're going to see a guy similar to Brees but that can pick up 1st downs with his feet, which should scare the rest of the division.

All my Sources tell me Wilson is going to have a big year, because he throws the ball around with his bros.

He just now got back to work?? Kap has already been back to work for a couple of weeks. Sounds like a hangover year is coming for the Hawks. :escape:
