^ all of this. To add Wilson might be better if we had good receivers to throw to. He obviously isn't in Brady/Rodgers league so he can't just put up video game numbers with a warm body at WR like they can. Before Jimmy Graham the best receiver Seattle had was Steve Largent back in the late 70s/80s. I don't count the ~year that Rice played for us, it was the end of his career and I don't really think of him as a Seahawk.
I added the line about Rice just to head off any internet smart guys trying to prove me wrong by saying Rice was a Seahawk.
I think from what I've seen so far this year I'd take Wilson over Manning right now. Brees has kind of looked like shit as well. And I've always thought Ryan was over valued.
Bullshit. Do you even watch the games? Brees is averaging 305 yards a game, 63% completion with 2 tds and 2 ints. Nobody would ever talk about benching a rookie for putting those numbers up
Ok benching is a step too far, but no one would be ranking a rookie doing that in the top half of QBs either.
Isn't this a good bit how Big Ben has made his living in the NFL? Turning broken plays into monster gains? I'm not knocking Ben as a QB either, guy can play, but I don't think it should be a negative to make plays out of the pocket on extended/broken plays. Romo much as I hate to admit it does some of his best work then too. Wilson might be able to do more traditional 3 and 5 step drop plays if he had better receivers.
Obviously having a SB on the resume helps, but if a rookie was putting up 300+ 60%+ without throwing more picks than TD's I think most teams would be pretty damn happy with that. As to where they would rank without the resume to pad a ranking...well...QB play hasn't been that stellar across the league so far this year. While a few years back you might be able to comfortably claim more than 3 elite QB's, it's hard to really give anyone other than Rodgers/Brady/Ben that nod right now.
