Wilson is a very accurate passer, and his running ability is nice to have too. But ever since his first couple seasons, his ability to make magic with his scrambling ability has dropped off considerably. We rarely see it anymore. Defenses know how to contain that now, and when they do, you can tell you he starts to look uncomfortable.
He's obviously been working on being more of a true drop-back QB, and it shows, but he still has some learning to do. Somebody mentioned that he needs to climb the pocket more instead of trying to run outside. I agree, but I also wonder if his height (I know, I know) makes it difficult to climb the pocket because it surrounds him by giants and therefore he can't quite see the field as well and/or have a reasonable throwing lane. So there might be some tricky habits to break.
The solution might have to be to get creative with the offense. Design pass plays that designed scrambles. Have Russ drop back like it's a normal passing play, but then have do that thing where he spin-turns and runs toward the sideline in an arc. The offensive linemen can be ready and make special moves/blocks to ensure it's open. All the while the receivers suddenly break and start running toward that same sideline. I sound like Coach Klein drawing up a wild ass play. I have no idea what I'm talking about. My point is that they may need to get more creative lol.
But overall, he's still a good QB. Elite? Eh...I don't know what that means. But he's damn accurate, knows the offense well, and has running ability. While he may not be as good at surveying the field or knowing where he wants to throw the football during his drop-backs, there's no better QB in the game when it comes to taking advantage of play-action. So maybe we just need to...ya know...RUN THE BALL! BTW, whatever happened to the read option?
