K.C. pre-season game made me realize this guy might very well be for real. @Detroit made me realize he is for real.

Don't discount plenty of revisionist history. If we kept longer archives here, it'd be easy to prove the LACK of "wilson" showing up in thread searches. I'm not saying he was never mentioned, but at this point, we've got a fair number of people that "called it" that he'd be a great NFL QB, and not enough evidence of it beforehand.

I was so eager for training camp to start I listened to kjr every day when they were at training camp and I never heard much about Wilson from them... it left me confused and sad that my vision of this guy becoming the guy wasn't going to happen... Then a few weeks later one of Wilsons former coaches came on the show and was like I have no doubt Russell can be the starter of this team and succeed. Hugh Millen about had a fit and kinda laughed it off as did Mitch. So I had hopes of him becoming the starter yet after watching Flynn in the first bit of the Titans game. Just kinda played boringly. Then Russell came in the moment I waited months to see and he did pretty well... Then the following week he did even better vs the Broncos.... Then Pete came out and named him the starter for the chiefs game... then came the Chiefs game wow.... Sold... then he struggled the first few weeks of the season and I was getting nervous for Russell. Patriots game sold me and hes been solid ever since.
