Wilson: $26m this year, 204 total yards.

If you want someone to throw 20 times, run 4 times and hand off 21 times you might spend your money more wisely. PC has become poor at using his tools. I don’t blame Wilson though he could have ran for firsts a couple of those times but didn’t. It’s crap offense by a bad OC picked by a bad offensive HC.

He's also undefeated this year. :twisted:

Some of you are way too obsessed with stats. It's kind of pitiful. I'll take Russ' 200 over Dalton's empty 400 any day

 

[BubbaGump]

The most important stat is W’s! Is Wilson worth what the Hawks are paying him? Yes. Why? Because he wins! I swear this board is more doom and gloom after a win than after a lose.

 

[Msfann]

Yup the only stat that matters is the W.

 

[Year of The Hawk]

You are so right. Let fire Pete and trade Wilson.

Interesting to look at who had a TON of passing yards today and who lost. Guess which philosophy was better....

 

[Fade]

I don't care about yards for a QB, but I do care about effectiveness of the offense in general, and what they rolled out week 1, ain't it.

True but its when you make the play that counts. Wilson is CLUTCH CLUTCH and then CLUTCH again. You can't over pay for that.

Wilson had a 134 or so rating.

Dalton somewhere around 90.

Wilson wins

The more frustrating thing is the absolute refusal to go with what was working. With slants, and by exploiting lanes up the middle we were moving the ball. Those plays opened up the run game, then the offensive coaching staff kept with it when it wasn't working. Teams strive to make offenses one dimensional, we did half the job for the Bengals.

The refusal to adapt and blind adherence to dogma is what is more angering. We're shackling our 30 million dollar per year man. This game should not have been as close as it was, even with the early game defensive gaffes.

Dalton wasn't able to make plays when he needed to. Wasn't able to convert those yards in to TDs. The defense got toasted but did a good job of keeping them out of the endzone.

Product of Pete keep it in front of you defense mostly except deep balls hanging in the air that are easy picks unless you have all day to think about it.

Russ has more than proven himself as for today recall Tyler dropped what would have been an over 20 yd gain and Carson also had a drop. The bigger issue was the ineffective blocking both running the ball and pass protection. Russ was scrambling to much especially in the first half. Clearly there is room for improvement this was not good today this win feels like an escape more than a victory.

Dalton got lucky on several plays with those deep balls as well. The Thompson one comes immediately to mind.

Wins, wins, wins. Go root for the team with a qb that throws for 5,000 yards and wins 7 games. Otherwise known as the bowels of Twitter.

 

[bigskydoc]

Not many quarterbacks could have done better with the time that the line gave him.

Seriously, who does one step drop passes?

Rest easy, though. That Cinci D Line is no slouch, and I think people were overlooking them going into the game.

That was probably the toughest line we will face all year, or at least tied for toughest line.

I don't care about stats but handcuffing yourself while dragging an anchor with a piano on your back is maddening.

I suspect your analogy might be just be a wee bit hyperbolic. :twisted:
