I dont think we are ever going to have "very good" or "great" pass protection with the way Wilson plays.
This isnt a knock on anyone, its just MUCH easier to block for a QB whom you know is going to be at a certain place in the pocket.
Wilson is a a dynamic runner, and one of the best scramblers you will see in your lifetime, but along with that he will take some sacks because of his amazing scrambling ability. Those defenders are amazing athletes also, so its just part of the game.

As has been noted before, he could stand to learn to step up in the pocket on occasion instead of always trying to turn it outside. Just a guess but I feel like 10-15% of his sacks could have been avoided or at least the play been extended if he'd have stepped up when the tackles let their rushers go by instead of trying to turn and roll outside. Easy for me to say though.
I agree that the sack totals look reasonable. On the other hand, "According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Wilson was sacked or under duress on a career-high 20 of his dropbacks Sunday (45.4 percent) in the 26-20 overtime victory over the Denver Broncos. It was the most for any game in his three-year career, including the playoffs."kearly":14dxy4yp said:Seattle is on pace for just 32 sacks allowed this season despite passing the ball significantly more often than last year.

I know the "under duress" stat is always going to be debatable when it comes Wilson and I certainly agree with you that our first three games has been against many of the best pass rushers in the NFL. I still think this is an important issue today and it will become the dominant issue several years from now when Wilson is a bit older and has a hefty contract. We can certainly win games and even championships with this year's offensive line but at some point this strategy is like picking up pennies off of railroad tracks. The train only has to hit you once for there to be a lot of hindsight-laden regrets.
