Cherry picking at its finest.Russel Wilson made 2 passes in OT of the NFC championship game that Ryan Tannehill has yet to make in 3 years! Sorry to say it!

Teams win SBs, pal, not solely QBs.
Using your logic, Trent Dilfer was a better QB than Dan Marino. Get real.
I'm not talking about the days when defenses were destroying NFL offenses left and right. Dilfer and Brad Johnson were part of another era. Doubt those teams win Super Bowls in today's NFL.
I don't think Brady or Manning are better than Marino, but we don't have those guys on this team. We have Tannehill, who has an under .500 record as a 3-year starter. Sorry, I'm not buying what you or the others are selling. I want a winner, and what Russ has done since becoming a starting QB is win. Ryan has lost. He's getting better
Let's not act like Wilson doesn't make some amazing throws/runs either. Tannehill is out here blasting bullets to receivers 4 yards away. Doesn't have the touch or deep ball Russ has.
And in the article, Bielema promised a super bowl only if we drafted his man and only after 5 years. Even Bielema had no confidence that we had the horses at that time to make it work sooner. Sound familiar?While I do believe Russell Wilson is a special player and would love to have him as our QB, I don't fault the Dolphins for their skepticism toward Bielema's promises.
It's so easy to look back and say "We should've drafted Kuechly in rd. 1 and Wilson in rd. 2 and we'd be set right now", but the truth is no one could've predicted Wilson going to 2 super bowls in his first 3 years in the league. And also, no one can guarantee that having Bielema as our HC and Wilson as our QB would = instant success.
So yeah, this can be seen as another disastrous episode by our front office (and we've had plenty), but like I said, that's easy to say 3 years later.
If anyone thinks that Wilson would have been as successful in the Dolphins organization as in Seattle, they are grossly mistaken. The majority of Wilson's success has been a product of having great complimentary crew around him. He also benefits from Beast Mode (who had 17 total TD's this season to Russell's 20 passing TD's) and a defense that can shut an opposing team down at will. Not a knock on Wilson, I'm a huge fan of watching him play and seeing how he responds in tough situations. But again, that mentality is a team mentality where no one will quit on him and the team around him refuses to lose.
The Dolphins organization would have found a reason to throw him under the bus for being too short and for running too much. Seattle/Carroll has that dog mentality where they will claw their way with who they have. Wilson fits Seattle well.
Fuzzy math eh? You count Lynch's "total" TD's but not Wilson's? :idk:
Wilson wouldn't be as successful in miami as he is in Seattle. Really don't think having Wilson on this team would make us a sb contender
How would feel as a jest fan with our new resident idiot, Tannenbum, ignoring constant Terry Bradway's urging to draft him, instead extending Sanchez who blew the last 3 games in '11 into cap hell, drafting Stephen ****ing Hill in the 2nd and not trading up 3 spots in the 3rd round???? That's who we now have to live with.
