You are new here, but hawkfan1975 was one of the biggest Flynn acolytes on this board. Half this board thought his six touchdown game for the Pack last year was when he won the job in Seattle, and the dude you are talking too was leading the "too short" charge against him.
Wilson is balling out right now, which is why the Flynn crowd is so quiet. Every fanbase has the torch and pitchfork crowd, but give it a bad game or two, they will be back.
did russell grow a foot since preseason? no he's exactly as i described, a short stature rook qb. no big, in terms of qb's he's on the short side. problem?
yes, during preseason i wasnt hyped and sold on him, nor with him being named starter over Flynn. yes, i do feel, at the seasons start, flynn dinks and dunks a hawk win over phx and stl. still think so.
why? because RW didnt wow me at all in ps nor seasons start. The D did however.
didnt care for his reads, scrambles, any of it come season start.
i will still say the same, a rook needs a full year before we start touting him like some do here. that won't change, no matter how much you whine about it.
it wasnt until seeing his coming around these last few games that ive seen RW making great strides (nothing to do with wins/losses btw). no it wasnt the hail mary for the win either.
Looking forward to seeing his progression now. thems the facts ace. problem?
if you think i care who here believed in RW sooner, well get used to it, I don't.
if you want some sort of medal for being the RW predictor then go appeal for it...yay for you?
I do still think flynn start beats phx and stl (and know where that puts our record),
but...it's also true i feel next year's ours with RW. i do think we'll be fine with RW (and/or flynn actually) .
next year folks.
