Russell Wilson- the silently elite QB

[Tech Worlds]

Nothing silent about it. Russel Wilson is making a strong case as a serious up and comer. We have us a top ten QB folks.

Here's a cool stat that I came across today that provides a least some credence to Kearly's contention of Russell being "elite" (or at least that he's headed that way). A good measure of an elite QB is what he does in the clutch. Well check out where his 4th Quarter QB Rating ranks. Take this FWIW ...

4th Quarter QB Rating (Top NFL QB's) ...

1] Jay Cutler 135.0
2] Peyton Manning 121.8
3] Aaron Rodgers 107.7
4] Matthew Stafford 103.8
5] Sam Bradford 97.4
6] Russell Wilson 96.2
7] Kevin Kolb 96.0
8] Ben Roethlisberger 95.9
9] Andy Dalton 94.0
10] Tom Brady 92.2

Some of the names on that list are admittedly a bit dubious ... but for the most part, pretty solid list.

As ridiculous as it sounds I can imagine Wilson in the Hall of Fame one day.

As ridiculous as it sounds, I can imagine myself having sex with J-Lo. (If you're gonna dream, might as well go for it!) :mrgreen:

Do they make time-machines or doses of cialis in the necessary milligrams?

Until RW goes 28/28, 410, 4 TD's, and no Int's, SOME will extrapolate things like fumbles (Brady and Manning do those) into reasons why not. I know from my eyes, that dudes a baller and special in the making. When he fumbled Sunday, I cared more about RW's detractors than the outcome.

Its just bazaar, even for a loon like me.

Russel Wilson has impressed me this being his rookie year. The coaches have done a fine job in putting him in situations to win games and he is making good use of it. I think he will grow after every game and learn from his mistakes. His ball placement, ball distribution are amazing. He has shown steady improvement in being in the pocket but needs to learn how to read corner blitzes better. He will over time, but when you are scouting the field to throw, you will also need to recognize people running at you basically untouched. When you also escape from the pocket to avoid a rush, you need to run away from the blitz. I am sure he will be an elite as soon as he is given the chance to make changes in the line of scrimmage and keep the opposing defense guessing. I think the game against 49ers and Chicago bears will be a good measuring stick to figure out how far he has come this season. An elite QB in my mind is one who creates situations to win, a time when the coaches don't have to put different situations for the team to win, but for the QB to show and be comfortable with all the situations to win the game based on his skills.

I think the real test on the Chi game is going to be on the staff and not RW. If I was in that spot I know what needs to be done for Chi. Limit the pass. Play tough D and win field position. This is game needs to be a boring conservative old school game for the Hawks to come out on top. I would hope we do a lot of run, run, pass, type plays. As long we keep the score with in 2 possessions, we grind it out as much as possible. The caveat is to look for the single coverage play action deep ball.

I have a friend who is not convinced, largely because his total passing yards are so low. Try to tell him that because of the phenomenal run game and defense he doesn't HAVE to! Plus, oh yeah...this is his rookie season.

At this point I believe his floor is Hasselbeck. FLOOR. And I think he'll do much more than 'ol Hass in yards when his career is done.

See another stat guy! makes his decisions from the stats. Doesn't care how successful any player is if his "stats" don't make him happy. I swear this type of fan drives me crazy, care nothing about wins and losses, only cares about stats.

:roll:

It's the Fantansy Football Fan pardigm Les. Only stats matter to these sorts.

Yeah, and after we made a forum just for them they still want to share their knowledge with people who don't really care.
