Do you believe this about Russell Wilson?

[warden]

Russell Wilson was really good when he could freeze the defense with the threat of using his legs. Once he stopped using his legs, It became too easy for the defense

The opening line of that article is ridiculous. Russ signing with Pittsburgh wasn't a notable seismic event.

What I don't understand about Russ's situation is that we've heard he has an elite work ethic—first in, last out. What the heck is he doing with his time at team facilities if not studying plays and learning verbiage? I could understand failing to read defenses or seeing over the line in games. But not knowing play calls? Does he have a learning disability? Or is his work ethic actually an issue, and we've been spoonfed a lie for a decade?

He had success early with PC.
He was nimble , picked up first downs with his legs and let us not forget the RPO with #24.

He was an exciting and unique player who did throw a hell of a deep ball. I noticed as he got older he quit taking care of himself , lost his agility and teams started figuring out how to contain him , leaving him to
to do figure 8s and hurt the team.

But he was so sure PC/JS were holding him back from greatness . I'm talking Tom Brady , Drew Brees greatness .

I think I have stated in another thread (if not I meant to) that my anger has mellowed after his cosmic bitch slap in Denver . He was the starting QB for the Superbowl champion Seattle Seahawks
and I wish him well moving forward. Dangerwich is going to be fine . He's banging Future's sons momma , got at least a couple of hundred MM in the bank , won a championship, got a sandwich at Subway named after him.

Almost forgot that.

I just read somewhere and I'm sure it can confirmed.
Me3 in his whole career has averaged 52 sacks a season!
Fanboys will blame the OL but no QB has ever taken that
amount of sacks in less time (527).
The hits from running away and running into sacks I'm sure
have taken it's toll on his body.
He could only play his way but it doesn't work anymore.
Heat charts show his favored areas to pass and they use cover 2
zone deep which just eats him up.
Anyway I found this on sacks..

He might not make it through the season,they are paying him cheap so they
can easily cut him in season with no problems if done.

If cut - how fast is he signed to the Raiders?

Good post, and I agree completely.

All I am saying is that Russ's very good Wonderlic score is evidence that the article in the OP is false. I would find it surprising that he would be as stupid as what is being portrayed given what we know about his intelligence and work ethic.

Off topic, but your comment about your wife's navigation skills reminded me of something. I once read that men and women differ in how they navigate. Men are more likely to use dead reckoning: "I know that it's this direction." Women are more likely to navigate by landmarks: "I know that it's near the 7-11 store." I have no idea if there is any truth to that.

This fits in my world - I once told my wife to go to wherever and "get on the freeway and go west". She looked at me like I asked her to invent free electricity. NSEW is not in her lexicon. It only confuses her.

I said exactly this to the guys on the Broncos board. But his head appears to be in other places.

You can't tell Bronco anything - they are already anointing Bo Nix as a top ten QB - right now. All based on a half a game against guys who will mostly be car-wash attendants in 6 weeks.

There's a long list of intelligent qbs who cant process quickly enough to play at an elite or even good level in that regard. Knowing what to do at the chalk board and the film room is different than actually doing it when youve got a pass rush in your face, DB's baiting you, and you cant read the whole field at once.

Sure, there are those QB's that are smart as a whip but can't process information as quickly as required in the NFL. All I'm saying is that Russell's Wonderlic score is evidence that the article in the OP is false. I didn't say that it was false. Big difference.

Sorry but I'm happy to hear this . I thought I was the only one who had to deal with that.

Can't read a defense if you can't see it.

Great point there-Totally agree with it.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming so that we may bring you tonight's special feature, The Jameis Winston Story.

Winston could famously break down defenses and determine the best course of action for the QB in videos since he was a little kid. On the field in the NFL... it was a different matter. Lots of TDs, yes, but lots of interceptions too.

They're Spicy!
