Russ is among the top 6 QBs in the league. Put him on a team with a decent O-line and you'd see the difference immediately.
He had a few bad throws early on last night, but so did future HOF'er Aaron Rodgers.
Given he's only 29, I'd take Russ over almost anyone in the league. Brady, Rodgers, Ben and Brees are better QBs, but they're also really old.
Given the OC talent over Russ through most of his career, it is amazing how well he's performed. Look at how Matt Ryan and Carson Wentz regressed when their OC's departed.
We are very lucky to have Russ. I wish more of you would recognize this.
I do.
I just wish we weren't sitting at 5-5. We're there because of him, largely. The defense has done their part. They've been absolutely shutdown in the second half of the last three games, giving Rodgers, Rivers, and Goff very little room to produce and giving Wilson every chance to score, and
he isn't consistent at doing it. It's had just as much an impact on our standings as his stats.
Wilson is amazing. And he needs to play even better.
