Russell Wilson is no Cam Newton

Russel Wilson has been one of the luckiest players I have ever seen play the game of football. For some reason analysts just chalk it up to him being a "gamer". No there is nothing inherently good about narrowly avoiding sacks because you held onto the ball too long, running 20 yards backfield, miraculously avoiding getting sacked then just chucking the ball up and praying for a miracle catch which happens more often than not. 

Sorry I know there is a lot of pack fans on here who love him, but god damn he is so overrated. 

 

Im glad I’m not the only one that thinks this.

Just about every “amazing” throw Wilson has made to bring his team back have been basically hail mary’s to covered WRs who miracously come down with the catch. That kind of luck runs out eventually, and I think we’ll see that the second half of his career. Granted he is a good player,  just not the top 10 QB analysts and fans make him up to be.

Natedogg you are correct Russell is no Cam. Russell needs to go to the mlb. Cam is a fantastic ball player and he has been an amazement to watch ever since his first NFL. Never have I seen anyone come into a game and have a presence he has had week in and week out. His offensive weapons (on paper) look fantastic and very dynamic. Along with his cannon of an arm he has been the most exciting qb to watch since Vick. I look forward to see what Norv will do but two weeks in the rust should now be knocked off and the team should be full head of steam. The o line is banged up bad and we have patched it with what we have available. If we can limit penelties and protect him a second or two more I then think this offensive will be a terror. Funchess needs to be down graded he’s not fully developed. I think he was a college te which makes so much sense to have him as the panthers number 1. I am very passionate about this team and love the new atmosphere Tepper is building, but at some point River Boat needs to come back. Trust your 6’5” 250lb qb.

Tepper seems like the kind of owner who will be very involved and won’t hesitate to get Cam some weapons better than Funch.

Cam has single-handedly taken this franchise to relevancy. If you don't support Cam against all the backwards folks out there then go cheer for the Cowboys, Skins, or Steelers.

Wilson has never been better than Cam and everyone knows it. The Seahawks had a stacked roster and Wilson was the beneficiary of that. I'm not knocing that he's a good QB, he definitely is, but he's had some of the luckiest plays I've ever seen in my life. His luck seems to have finally run out. Now he gets to experience the talent depleted roster that Cam had to experience in his early years. It all comes full circle.

Case and point, before the 2015 season after Cam got his contract extension, the Seahawks said they wanted to give Wilson a contract "on the same level as Newton". Why would a QB that has won a Superbowl and been to a second, deserve a contract the same as a QB that had never been to a Superbowl at that point? Because they knew he wasn't the reason for all their success.

Russ' OL has always sucked, but before, he always had the weapons and a fuging rabbit's foot up his ass.  Now, he has neither...

Cam never had the protection or plethora of weapons and still dominates.

I remember them having a good o line and running game with Okung, Marshawn, Unger, etc.. totally agree on the rabbits foot up his ass. I’ve never seen so much luck in my life
