Think almost Julius Jones, if not quite Robert Turbin.

How does that sound Mr. Throwdown?

I agreed with him on Wilson at first also. When however many short QB's have come into the league and none have been successful, you're going to say the odds are ridiculously against him. He has since admitted that Wilson has been playing much better than anticipated. He was foolish with how brash he was with the statement, but at least he was willing to put it out there. Now all the Hawk fans are butthurt because he dare take an unpopular opinion about the chosen one.

He's a retired career back-up QB. His opinion is not much better than any one of ours.
He threw for 22 TDs and 35 INTs in ten seasons.
Russell threw for more TDs in his rookie season.
I consider Brock Huard much more knowledgeable and entertaining to listen to.

Christine Michael, then 12, turned to his mother, Mary, for guidance about his unusual first name for a boy.
"At first, I kind of took it hard," Michael said.
So she turned to an example set by Johnny Cash — the gruff singer — for a little help.
"She told me about a 'Boy Named Sue,'" Michael said Monday of the late Cash's big hit from 40 years ago. "She said I was like that boy named Sue. He didn't care, so I shouldn't care.
"My mom wanted her first child to be a girl, and she had my name picked out from Day 1," Michael said, smiling. "She thought it was unique for a boy. Now, whatever anyone wants to call me, I just go along with it."

If he's down on Christine Michael, that's probably a good thing. This is the same expert calling for Russell Wilson to be benched for Flynn after 3 or 4 games.
I doubt that Millen meant "Leon Washingon replacement" in any way other than a roster sense. If he meant it in a football sense (would have to hear the whole quote for context), now that would truly be out of touch.
For more insightful analysis, Give me Brock Huard any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Brock typically winds up being accurate in what he says, in terms of how things pan out.
