People are just plain stupid and will believe in what they want despite the facts, especially from talking heads.
Honestly, in my book haters can call Wilson " a game manager" all they want, its actually a back-handed compliment for a 2nd year PRO just because he's 5'11 or something.
Seahawks fans will take the:
28 wins against only 9 losses.
4-1 post-season record
Super Bowl Champ
52 TDs to only 19 INTs
With more than half the INTs coming from last minute hail marys or bobbled passes rather than just poorly thrown passes.
Seahawks will take his 6475 passing yards but understand that he adds another 1028 to the table from rushing... so he's worth about 7500 yards from scrimmage. 3750 yards.
Per snap, Russell Wilson is one of the most productive players in the game. Its not his fault that he has a great defense and reliable running game... so he doesn't need to pad his stats in the 4th QTR... yet he still is probably among the top QBs in the last 2 years in 4th Comebacks and Game Winning Drives.
And anybody who has watched a Seahawks games knows 2/3rds of the Seahawks losses, Russell Wilson has led the offense to a lead or tie only for our vaunted defense to crumble at the last minute.
And anybody who has watched Seahawks games knows when the running game doesn't get going more often that not its Wilson who carries the team.
And its hilarious guys like Clayton look down on Wilson because he hasn't broke the 4000 yard passing barrier. From Russell Wilson's pass yard per game in 2013, he'd only have to pass for a mere 41 yards per game. Sorry haters, but if holding the lead at halftime, there isn't going to much emphasis to light up scoreboard but run out the clock and continue to make your defense accountable to hold leads.
Because in the end while fantasy football is sexy and you want production and stats, ball control and defense wins football games, winning football games takes you Championships.
We'll take an overrated Wilson any day and know he's be absolutely more phenomenal than 99% of the leagues QBs who have started in their first two seasons.
He'll continue to grow and flourish and be a 4000+/40+ if he needs to be.
