Russell Wilson comps

[Varking]

If Bryce turns out as advertised then he’s basically a “But we have Mahomes at home” meme as his comp. He plays like a lesser version of Mahomes. And that’s not a knock.

Brees only got a SB because the refs played storymode with his career. He was a stat padder who choked more often than he should.

To be fair a lot of folks here have a bad habit of making too much about rookie seasons. Anyone who was actually watching understood what a poo show Jacksonville was. Lawrence wasn’t going to be a massive bust. 
 

As teams have shown, a lot of these guys getting drafted CAN succeed if you help them and not just ask them to carry your franchise. Invest in a line and a couple playmakers and then things are trending up. Yet there are teams that still miss this when drafting a QB early still. 

You hit the nail on head of why I wanted the Burns trade so bad, besides having an inkling that the Rams could be imploding. Our rookie QB is far more valuable to our future than Burns, period. The thought of having the ability to trade up and still have 3 1sts and 4 2nds in 3 drafts to surround a rookie with Olsen, a top OL and Chase and Higgins? Thanks Brian, love ya, but we’ll use your cap space and all our other picks to improve the D while creating a wall and cache of weapons.

I would love him to have a Russel Wilson career just hand the ball to the RB for that second ring 

Seahawks grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory that day.

Wilson is not a HoFer if he continues his current play. The Brees comparisons would be better. We saw enough of him to know.

For folks that want a Wilson comp just know that without Pete, Wilson looked like trash and the trash tier backup QB who replaced him went to a pro bowl. 
 

As far as Brees that would be a good comp but the kids 2 inches shorter and like 20 pounds lighter. 
 

There is no good comp for him. 

I totally agree.  Even if Young wasn’t coming here (which is a done deal) I would be pulling for him.  He opens to door for players like him later.  I don’t see this as any kinda negative

Wilson has had a fine career overall.  He's not even really a bad guy, and has been a good football player. Anyway, Bryce is Bryce. Pro comps are pretty useless.

I see a whole lot of this with people talking about Bryce Young.

And yeah, I get it. That's to be expected.

To be honest though, If he's our pick, I don't want Young to be the next Russell Wilson.

I'd much rather he be a shorter, smaller version of Peyton Manning.

I see a shorter version of Tom or Pat

I'd be good with that.

I went for Manning based on what I've read about Young's smarts.

This forum gets on my nerves most days. Sure, we want more but if we get a QB that wins a ship you all would still complain.

So Aaron rodgers in Doug Fluties body?

[CPF4LIFE]

I see a similarity to Jalen Hurts for him. Nothing else.
