Russell Wilson is smoke and mirrors.

[PanthersUnited]

The guy is just a average game manager that is carried by a extremely good team and coaching. Here is the Seahawks offense.. Lynch run, Lynch run, Wilson lobs a deep pass downfield and it is caught. He is not a QB that can methodically drive an offense down the field from the pocket, he rarely throws to tight windows and he rarely threads the needle. All of his passes are deep floaters that somehow other teams dont see coming and the WR happens to be at the right place and right time.

Put Wilson in the Colts or Packers offense and he would fail. He is extremely lucky he has a good supporting cast and defensec that carries him.

[Mother Grabber]

the team will blow up soon enough under too many contracts, and we'll see then.

[Pox 08]

He's just hoping he gets a $150M contract before the Seahawks figure that out.

I'm obviously a Cam=GOAT guy so naturally RW is the "enemy", but he's a pretty special athlete too.  I do agree with much of what you said though.  The 2 point conversion last week (after 4 INTs) and the play before the play tonight were reasons to believe he truly had sold his soul to the devil himself.  It truly is amazing how deep he must get on every pass play over the middle or how he simply must move around to have a window but is either allowed to by the D or he's able to do it on his own.  It's not being a hater, it's a scientific fact for a 5'10 QB in the NFL.  Without the beast I can't wait to see where the tike can take them. 

[PhillyB]

he's not that bad.

[teeray]

Meh... I have to disagree. He may not be asked to do as much as other QBs, but when his number is called he makes plays.

He played really well, and the last play wasn't even a mistake IMO just a good play by the defender

[CRA]

He is overhyped. He makes great plays but he isn't great.

A lot of his game is play ground ball.....and lobbying up jump balls. He hits on his 50/50 balls to date at a higher pace than a QB should expect

[Mojo]

That's unfair. He made some really great throws tonight in tight man coverage. The int at the end was an amazing play by the db. Wilson is a great player. He's also pretty lucky but tonight the luck ran out.

[FootballMaestro]

From this point on, we will see the demise of the Seattle Seahawks Supe Bowl run.

 

They shouldn't have even gotten this far, if the Panthers had done their jobs. Statistics/Recent history had show us, Supe Bowl Champs, hadn't even won  a playoff game the following year.

 

And we all saw their good fortune against Greenbay.

 

Well, after a while, all luck runs dry. And so I think it will be for Seattle, and the very, very fortunate, but limited Russell Wilson and Seattle.

[top dawg]

Russell Wilson works hard, makes great plays, and makes good decision more times than not. He also is a winner on and off the field, and he is a wonderful representative of the NFL.

[X-Clown]

For all the complaining we do about our receivers not being up to par, Russell just got a guy who had never caught a pass in the NFL a 100 yard game. I get why a lot of you hate him, because lady luck seens to shine on him a lot and we have to hear comparisons to Cam non-stop, but its just screams sour grapes to call him garbage

[hepcat]

Stupid playcall at the end but Wilson is a good/almost great QB

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Luck?

The Panthers and Packers had their opportunities and didn't capitalize on them.

Seattle did, until they played the Patriots today.

Seahawks have been balling these last few years and made it to the Super Bowl two years running.

Sorry butt hurt people of the Huddle, Seahawks are a very good team and that includes an excellent QB in Wilson.

[JARROD]

I thought the dude played great situational football inside his system and what the Patriots were giving them.

 

He made bombs, ran when he had to for big gains, and has pretty good touch.  

 

So Im not going to bash him.  Butler jumps 1/2 step later or Kearse fights a little harder for that ball its all a mute point now,..Russell the new King of the NFL etc.

 

Hes not elite I agree. Hes really good though, and hes incredibly lucky.

 

As Chuck Yeager said(and he was pretty much the greatest pilot ever by most opinions), "Id rather be lucky any day instead of good"
