The guy who claimed last year Matthew Stafford is a better Quarterback has outdone himself this time with a gem filled with back handed compliments, while also justifying his opinion. Now, his new favorite is Patrick Mahomes, who's clearly better than Wilson:
Translation: Russell is having a great year, but instead of giving him credit let me write this article with a mix of back handed compliments, obvious truths, and generic talking points.
Translation: Russell is a game manager who's being carried by the run game
Here's the article:

Obviously, not all lies there. Plenty of truth. Some on here may even agree with several points I disagree with. Russell is playing better under Schotty, who has fixed some of Russ' poor habits. But it's funny, nowhere in that article does Andy acknowledge how poor our O-line was, how terrible our running game was, or that Russ was led the team in rushing and was responsible for virtually all of our TDs. Blair Walsh isn't mentioned either. Nope, instead Andy chooses to imply that Russ' "sandlot style"(again not special teams, the run game, or Cabevell) is the reason why we didn't succeed last year. And that Russell is reading simple defenses. He's complimented Wilson sparingly, but clearly(like some here) puts several QBs above him.
Anyway it's just his opinion, which he has a right to. Not grabbing a pitchfork. Just amazed at how media personalities will stick to their opinion no matter what. It also explains why Wilson missed the Pro-Bowl over Rodgers, many in the media are in love with their own biases and stick to it
Unfortunately, disciplined quarterbacking can look almost monotonous to television viewers. And so this year the NFL’s darling is the man Wilson faces Sunday night—Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes. The second-year Chief actually is what people last year misguidedly thought Wilson was: a quarterback who can carry an offense week in and week out. Mahomes’s electrifying sandlot plays rarely come at the expense of Kansas City’s rhythm.

The Seahawks’ offense no longer goes through Russell Wilson. He is a complementary piece in a smashmouth system, which makes the best use of his unique gifts. This was the approach the Seahawks took in the Marshawn Lynch heyday, when they went to back-to-back Super Bowls.
