Russell Wilson's Hype

[Evengelion]

The last few years, since Cam came into this league, the media has been obsessed trying to anoint the next great thing. Wilson is a very talented franchise QB and there is no bust factor to him at all. His skill set fits any system. The media has been pretty much trolling the talent of some of those young QBs ranking them just to always put Luck atop. One game doesn't make a player, people.

Him and kaep have one thing in common.

They are both qbs that were drafted by teams already stocked with talent.

So it's safe to say...advantage them. 

[carolinarolls]

there is nothing to bash in regards to Russell Wilson.  Saying you are not going to bash him is an ignorant statement

 

he only has one strike against him, and if not for a boneheaded decision by some moron in way over his head at the time that one practically inexcusable transgression would not even exist.  

 

 

I love his game.

His pocket presence is his worst attribute in my opinion. As soon as his 1st read is not open you can see how he wants to escape the pocket. This major flaw often goes unnoticed due to his ability to throw on the run and his receivers' ability to make a lot of spectacular catches that have bailed him out throughout the season..

 

Great point!!

I'm not going to knock Wilson either. But I will say this: It's very rare, for Cam to have such an innocuous (i.e., inconsequential) game and his team win so easily. 108 yards, no TD's, or big plays, runs?

 

When other QB's put up a stat line like that it's a benefit/credit to them somehow (i.e., think "team player"; "leader"; "winner"; "gamer", etc.). When Cam does, he's "not producing enough"?

 

That's the difference between Cam and these other guys. Even if/when he plays poorly, Cam has to make plays (at some point) or play great in order for the Panthers to win. He can very rarely coast to victories the way Wilson has all through out his career via the run game; his receivers and defense (particularly his first year). 

 

These other young cats, just don't carry the responsibility, pressure and scrutiny that Cam does every game. Luck, has the responsibility, but not the scrutiny and nitpicking Cam receives; getting a virtual free pass from the media and a fan base that has at least witnessed Indy win a championship.

 

In stark contrast, some hard up, suffering  Panther fans, virtually scrutinize every thing Newton does, even when it's good or someone else's fault, whether he gets help or not.  Lol

 

These are the things, national media doesn't know or talk about, which makes what Newton is doing now so impressive (knock on wood for tomorrows game).

Short is only accurate outside the pocket and has a lot of help?

I've seen three or four big games this year were

He completes less than 40% of his passes with less than 100

Yards passing he's OKAY NOTHING MORE.

Nobody says he's the greatest QB to ever come to his league nor do people say he's like Michael Jordan. Nobody use him to troll other young QBs. So, like you say, he's okay.

Michael Irvin made a great point when deciding whether he would take Kaep or Newton... he said Kaep was put in a position where he had talent around him and Cam was not... he picked Cam

What's up with your username man? Was Nweton1 taken?

[gmonjimbo]

Russell Wilson is a solid player, but he should accept less money in order for the Seahawks to keep Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Bobby Wagner when their respective contracts expire. I think he has already reached his ceiling. He is not worthy of a 100 million dollar contract if he is only being asked to make 2-4 impact throws in the playoffs. 

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

He made one more play than we did week 1. A fact.

[cota37]

I'm sorry I prefer to keep my username up to date and not have a mediocre safety from the early years.

Irvin gets it

[FootballMaestro]

i feel great about beating the hawks after seeing their offense struggle against the saints d this 2nd half

 

{Pssst! Their offense has been "struggling" the past month during the regular season.

once wilson gets comfortable chunking balls all over the place, he'll start throwing more INTs like delhomme
