Let me clarify, no running game when it counted in the fourth Qrt......Rawles busted off a 70 yd run early in the 3rd quarter, great stats he had but when the team needed to run the ball at the end of the game to keep the defense off the field they couldn't do it....6 carries for 18 yds is not running the football, if Lynch was there they may have had better results.....he gets stronger as the game goes on....you are one of those guys who looks at stats and thinks it's reflecting the entire picture, it is not....Seattle was built for running the football and playing tough defense with Wilson making critical plays when needed, this yr the team can't run when it needs too, can't stop the opposing offense and get off the field and Wilson hasn't been clutch at the end of the game....see I talk in generalities, when I say a guy can't throw I don't literally mean the guy cant throw, I mean he can't make the throws when needed, so when I say someone can't coach its when you need a win he's not the guy...etc...
This is why we disagree on RT, you are a stat guy, I like seeing what the QB can do when its needed, I'm no fan of Flacco but when he's in a big game you get his best more than not and its usually 2-3 drives where he is unstoppable to help his team....RT can put up good stats but I want to see him make that big throw in a game to get us in the playoffs.....I always go back to the Buffalo and Jets game when we needed just one win to get in the playoffs and he played some of his worse football in both games...I don't like Tebow as a player but I respect him, here's a guy with limited abilities but when faced with a chance to win the game he did whatever it took to get his team points at the end of the game, regardless of how poor he played and if we want to win a SB the non elite QB has to show he can do this, like Flacco, Eli, Big Ben, Wilson all have demonstrated the ability to this....I want to see RT show signs he can too.....
Flacco, Eli, Big Ben, Wilson,
