I don't know how many of you have really looked in depth at Wilson's stats ... but he is starting to amass some pretty impressive numbers actually. Consider this ...
For starters, Wilson has already basically surpassed in production what Tavaris Jackson did last season. Jackson had 14 TD's to go along with 13 INT's, 3,091 yards, a 60.2 Comp% ... and a QB Rating of 79.2. That's not what's impressive, actually.
What IS impressive is when you stop to consider that Wilson (in Game #10) already has 15 TD's. (Which leads all of the rookie QB's this season) Now for those who haven't done the math regarding the pace he is on, let me connect the dots for you ...
Over the past 5 Games (Since the Patriots Game), Russell Wilson has 10 TD passes and only 2 INT's. That frankly is a remarkable pace. So, he is averaging 2 TD passes ... to only .4 INT a game.
If he keeps up that pace, Wilson will finish the season with 27 TD passes ... and 10 INT.
Now I can hear some of you out there saying, OKAY ... that's a good season, but what's so remarkable about that?
Well ... 27 TD's IS a rather impressive ... when you stop to consider that Peyton Manning set the record for a Rookie QB back in 1998 -- with 26 TD's. When Manning broke that record ... it was a record that had stood for 50 years. So if he keeps up this pace, Wilson has a chance to tie or break Manning's rookie record.
And just a little aside here -- the year that we went to the Super Bowl ... Matt Hasselbeck had 24 TD's to only 9 INT. If Wilson averages a mere 200 yards passing/game (and given the opponents we have coming up I believe that's quite do-able) ... Wilson will finish with just over 3,000 yards passing. Hasselbeck had 3,459 back in 2005. Just throwing that out there ...
