Russell Wilson is smoke and mirrors.

[punkpanther]

I would like to see Wilson without the threat of beast mode going all beast mode. That deep ball disappears without him.

[Peppers90 NC]

He is a sandlot style player and always has been. I can't believe he gets to see so many 3 man rushes, it gives him time to throw up a jump ball after coverage breaks down. He rarely throws to actual routes.

[Peppers90 NC]

He doesn't make his WRs good, they make him look good.

[csx]

Well I'm glad Cam can't throw the game losing pick in the SB

 

He did it in the divisional round instead

[PghPanther]

Wilson is a bright and capable QB but other than Jake I've never seen someone throw so many high arching deep balls and hope their receivers go up and get them to such success.................that is not a good deep ball passing QB.........that is one lucky SOB QB when it comes to that aspect of his game.............

[KJ89]

He doesn't suck but I've always said he'll get figured out. It's the system he's in. Wait until that system falls apart.

It's hard for me to even call it a system, more like schoolyard.

[teeray]

If we didn't have Cam I would love to have him on my team.

Call it sandlot all you want, when he is called on to deliver more times than not he does.

There offense is a lot better than when Jackson (I think) was their QB

[X-Clown]

Schoolyard or not, he put up over 300 yards passing on us in the opener last year and another 268 in the playoffs when we did a good job of shutting Lynch down. He also put up almost 400 against the Falcons in the playoffs his rookie season and was a defensive brainfart from pulling off a three TD comeback in the 4th quarter in that game. So I don't buy the argument that he can't pass when the run is shut down. Is he a conventional/deadly pocket passer like a Brady? No, but I don't think Cam is either, that doesn't mean they aren't really impressive quarterbacks.

[Montsta]

I agree with Igo, Wilson hit a RB on a wheel perfectly in stride to where he didn't have to pause for a single second.

I don't remember seeing Cam do that. Maybe ever.

I think Cam is better than Russ, but Russ deep ball is better by such a large margin you can't even really compare the two.

[Dunn]

Russell has excellent 'touch' on his passes, one thing Cam lacks A TON.  Aside from that there is nothing he does better then Newton.

[OneBadCat]

He makes good touch throws. I don't think it's fair to take that away from him.  However he isn't that developed. He's just a good player on a great team. He's also able to get away with a lot because of his legs. Plus his lame ass cookie cutter persona helps his image with the media.

[Hawk]

well obviously Wilson is horrible

 

he just finished his rookie contract and all he has done is take the Seahawks to the playoffs three years including two Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl win...and the worst call in football history away from making that two wins

 

set a record for number of wins in the first three seasons

 

only qb to throw for 300 and run for 100 in a single game

 

most passing yards in a playoff game by a rookie

 

all of that with no big name wide receivers

 

obviously he's horrible.

Problem is, Wilson's deep ball is seemingly always off timing patterns (or throwing to one, or a wide open receiver). When does he ever throw a deep ball during an incoming pass rush, or after he surveys the defense?

 

And I saw Cam, throw a perfect long ball to Lafell in KC a few seasons ago (and KB, and others this year), that fell right through their hands. Yes, Cam's long ball has not been as good as it was his first season in the NFL. However, if we're going to point out what Wilson did in one game yesterday, then we have to talk about the intricacies of his passing.
