Elite.
3rd best QB in 2018 according to HOF QB Kurt Warner. :irishdrinkers:
I think he is spot on with this ranking.
Brees and Mahomes both have an incredible offensive supporting cast. They play behind great offensive lines. They are surrounded by multiple offensive Pro Bowlers. Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce are amazing weapons. But that shouldn’t take anything away from them. They are both great players worthy of MVP consideration.
Wilson’s best offensive weapon, Doug Baldwin, has been playing hurt the entire season. Tyler Lockett had a breakout season, but is probably still a notch below those other top playmakers. The offensive line, while improved, is beat up and allowing sacks at the highest rate of Wilson’s career. Yet, Wilson still managed the most efficient season of his career.
This is also a good time to demonstrate the massive disparity in accuracy between QB rating and ESPN’s ridiculous total QBR metric.
Good ol’ QB rating:
1. Drew Brees —115.7
2. Patrick Mahomes — 113.8
3. Russell Wilson — 110.9
Now take a look at whom is ranked #3 in ESPN’s joke QBR:
http://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr
Drum roll please . . . Mitch Trubisky is ranked #3 in the NFL by them. Trubisky is 16th in actual QB rating, which seems about right. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson is ranked #11 in their joke of a rating system.
