I can't be mad at them. New comers have to earn their stripes. The media is so quick to try to anoint the next great thing that sometimes they force things down people's throat. When Brees was with the Chargers, he was learning the ropes. And dealing with Marty-Ball. He can deliver a strike from the pocket. Russell isn't going to get love from the purist. They will top out at Tarkenton, who wasn't a bad QB (HOF) but unfortunate to play for an outstanding Vikings team that was a little too inflexible when facing the AFC teams.
The Flutie comparisons is usually what people are thinking. Wilson will just have to show them over the years. You bail on the pocket as a QB and people's opinion of you drops substantially. Just how folks have trained their eye to look at QBs. I know Wilson can sit in the pocket and deliver dimes but those no vested in the team have to count on the little they see of him or what the experts say.
My father tried to tell me about Wilson, I had to tune him out because he started spouting the trash you hear on First Take (one of his favorite show). He had his 80th last July, so I am putting it to him just not really following things. Plus he lives in Chicago and is a life-long Bears fan. What would he know about the Seahawks, other than the little bit he sees on Sports Center?
