Russell Wilson's Hype


PantherDynasty

Recommended Posts

I'm not going to bash Russell Wilson because he has done much better in the league than most expected, but I feel he is often vastly overrated. Wilson is a game manager who can make a lot of plays with his feet, but for a guy who was considered a legitimate MVP contender at the QB position, his ability to make the tough throws is almost non-existent. Thoughts?

His pocket presence is his worst attribute in my opinion. As soon as his 1st read is not open you can see how he wants to escape the pocket. This major flaw often goes unnoticed due to his ability to throw on the run and his receivers' ability to make a lot of spectacular catches that have bailed him out throughout the season..

Wilson is actually pretty good at reading the field.

 

It is his height that is actually the issue, distorts his vision of the field when pressure is in his face

    • I’ll get killed for this but he always sounded gay to me. Not necessarily not gay, but feminine.  I tried to say it in a more subtle way and still got killed for it last year. fug it I don’t care it’s an honest opinion. I didn’t let that disqualify him and have been very patient and non critical. I just wondered how the big tough guys in the locker room would respond to that.  But whatever, I think he thinks too much from the emotional side. The rah rah positive deal, what must it sound like if he gets mad? Where is the tough hard ass side? The no empathy, get the job done or get gone. I wonder about that. It mean I doubt there is a lot of fear of failure going on.    So anyway to other comments about he sucks and all that, I said I needed a better reason to change my stance on him, which has been give him time. Continuity is super important.  This thing with the running backs is eroding the goodwill. 
    • He has a 54 mil buyout so he will be fine but LSU needs o move on.  
    • Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.
