I was surprised that Wilson's PFF ratings for the past three games were higher than Geno's:

That's because PFF is an awful metric to utilize unless you're using it to make an argument!
In those three games, we were 1-2 and they were 0-3. We could have won all three if we had their defense and they could have won all three with our offense. Our offense has been a bit of a scoring machine, theirs clearly struggled to score. Basing PURELY on PFF's rating, one could come to the conclusion that Geno is benefitting from his supporting cast, and Russ suffered due to his supporting cast.

I am still in Geno's corner, I am quite sure today's Russ couldn't make that winning throw to DK to seal the game yesterday. Money QB makes money throw at money time.

the problem with Geno is he's been lucky to have not been picked off more than he has. He's really slung the ball into some dangerous situations. PFF's QB ratings weighs heavily on potential picks vs. just picks.

Now, the issue here is Wilson is headlining the worst offense that the NFL has seen in three decades. Even if Geno was getting picked off, the Broncos haven't been able to even score 16 points a game and that is on Russ. With that defense they would be super bowl competitors if they were even able to score 20 points a game, which is an extremely low bar.

At this point, Geno might have too much confidence and Russ has none.

According to that Sherm podcast linked in another thread, he's the first Seahawk in history to record 6 straight games of a passer rating over 100

From here to Lombardy, the Hawks need help, but not at the QB position.

PFF is increasingly nonsensical. Russ getting any sort of positive grade when his offense has scored 3 touchdowns since Halloween is impossible to take seriously.
