Eye test people. Eye test.

At this point, whether it is the playcalling or not, how does Wilson look compared to the others?

Here are the records of all the rookie qb's.

1. Ryan Tannehill – 1W 3L Lost to Arizona Cardinals on the road, lost to new york jets.

2. Robert Griffin III – 2W 2L Lost to St. Louis rams at home, beat an 0 – 4 saints team
3. Andrew Luck – 1W 2L Never played an NFC west team, lost to jacksonville
4. Brandon Weeden - 0W 4L Never played an NFC west team, arguably hardest 4 games
5. Russell Wilson – 2W – 2L lost to both Rams and Cardinals on the road. Surprisingly second hardest schedules.

And here we are now ten years later and Ryan Tannehill is probably the best one left standing!

RG3 - out of the league
Luck - out of the league
Weeden - out of the league
Wilson - WTF??? 🤣

Ok so if you had to have a starting QB for your NFL team right now, to play the rest of the 2022 season for you, and could only choose from these five players, who would you choose? You'd have to choose Tannehill! (Unless you have rocks in your head! 🤣)

Congratulations Ryan Tannehill! He's sort of like the tortoise that ultimately wins the race.

Kind of makes me wonder how Tannehill would have looked if he had the coaching and stability that Wilson had here in Seattle. He's not a world beater by no means, but he's definitely good enough to pull off the Alex Smith role right now. Tannehill was in a bad situation in Miami and even in Miami he wasn't exactly horrible.

Kirk Cousins didn't even make the list and drafted after all of the above - he's probably the one you'd want out of all 6 right now!

But for 7-8 years Wilson was the one you wanted IMO

Go back and watch the battles between Wisconsin and Michigan State during Wilson and Cousins senior seasons. They met twice. Also the Big10 championship game. I remember thinking I’d be happy with either of these guys.
Amazing how 20 years and a major ass trade can change minds!

I don't care what is currently happening with Wilson. He was by far the best one out of that class. His accomplishments as a Seahawks QB and their record during his years here say so. The only possible factor that changes this is if Cousins somehow wins back to back SBs or even manages to make it to more than 1 or 2.
