All I'm saying is, he's had several stinkers, and because the team keeps winning games on things like Matt Schaub pick sixes with 1:47 to play -- WHEN THE TEXANS ARE UP BY 7 -- he is not being questioned. I believe that wins and losses have more to do with the overall talent level of the team than they do with the coach or quarterback, unless you have one of those truly incredible players or a huge disparity in coaching skill.
It's not a knock on Wilson to say that he's overrated right now in much the same way that Andy Dalton is. Wilson is a better player and I think he will prove to be an upper echelon NFL quarterback, but he's had multiple games in which he was downright bad.
None of these young QBs are elite yet. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are both worth 5 or 6 wins over a Matt Moore or Kyle Orton type of player. Wilson, Tannehill, and Luck put together might be worth 3 or 4. None of these young QBs are even top ten yet and every amount of praise we heap on them (I'm a big fan of Luck for instance) should go with that implied caveat that most of what we're looking at right now is potential.
you are right he has had his stinkers, as does every qb, but he also has had a lot more very good games than very bad games.
there has got to be some correlation to the seahawks 11-5 record last year and most likely 13-3 this year. its very good qb play. yes there defense is good, but i dont think its just a coincidence that seattle started to become very good once they drafted wilson.
it does not need to be one of the other, it can be both, good qb play and good defense.
and as i say again, ppl like to make it seem like wilson has tons of talent, truth is he does not, especially on offense. i did not know zach miller, doug baldwin and golden tate are elite players. r they really better than charles clay, mike wallace, and brian hartline?
Seattle's o line has also been banged up until recently, yet wilson continues to make plays. they have a good run game, that is the one position where there is a big difference in talent between the 2 teams. i think wilson being the qb of the team has a lot to do with the fact that they r going to have back to back double digit win seasons, including 11 last year, and 13 and a 1st round bye most likely this year.
seattle was pretty bad before wilson was drafted.
right now, the dolphins aside from there 08 season 11-5 are going to finish with records that we have seen time and time again, 7-9 last year, either 8-8 or 9-7 this year, and until we prove its different, who knows if it really is.
