Well he does have his jersey in the HOF. It would seem that you'd have to be elite to have your rookie wolf grey #3 in the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton , Ohio. Are any of those other guy's uniforms in the HOF yet? Who cares if he's had more wins than any other 2nd year qb or higher passer rating or more tds or less ints. The future don't always fit yet.StoneCold":3m2lei3w said:

Luck and Griffin also have their jersey in the HOF, but who cares. They didn't come home with a Lombardi.

I dont know if RW is the absolute best, but I know that I would not trade him for anyone. A n y o n e.

There is a significant aspect of RW’s overall abilities that many are overlooking. Leadership!
I have admired and supported RW since before he was drafted and I have watched every game he’s played as a Seahawk. I have also read and watched most, if not all of his interviews and articles written about him. His game is much more than just his excellent and outstanding football skills. IIRC, Warren Moon once said that the QB position is more than 50% mental. IMO RW is already “elite” mentally and will only improve his on field accomplishments which will have to be conceded as “elite” after his 2-nd super bowl win (this year) based on his body of work in only his first three years.
When he became a Seahawk, a vast majority of local fans (and probably most of his teammates) thought that he should not be a starting QB but he has obviously slowly won them all over ever since his first pre-season appearance. It is my opinion that the team prior to RW’s starting at QB was one with little confidence, below average work ethic and were just their to get paid. PC/JS realized that they needed a real leader, thus JS’s remark about “tilting the field” and the drafting of RW as their leader and franchise QB.
I have some questions:
Has anyone, anywhere ever heard a negative comment from RW? A frown or look of disgust, anger or dismay? Has he ever shown negative body language or actions (hanging his head, towel over his head, yelling at coaches/teammates/refs., etc.)? Has he ever said anything even close to negative about his teammates or coaches or even players from other teams? Has he ever failed to give credit and name specific players and coaches with positive comments, time after time? Does anyone think his work ethic has not rubbed off on his teammates? Does anyone think he has not influenced his teammates to strive for greatness? Has anyone noticed how increasingly during games RW is always pushing his teammates to excel and strive to be great on each and every play? Has anyone, anywhere ever heard RW make an excuse (or whine, cry, etc) about anything football related? I could go on and on with these questions, but do y’all get the idea I’m trying to make? This is leadership!
My contention is that RW has brought so many gifts to the Seahawks beyond just his excellent play. Perhaps the biggest one of all is *CONFIDENCE*. The team lacked it pre RW, but now look what the team has done in just RW’s first two years. The future of the Seahawks is yet to unfold but based on just those first two years, RW is very much well on his way to the so called “elite” status nationally. Game manager = bull crap. Too short = bull crap. Only good because of his defense and running game = bull crap. Go Hawks!

I think you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. He has the potential to be the best but he isn't yet. Rodgers, Brees, Manning, and Brady are all better than him. I'd say he is top 5.

I'm glad that some of the pundits are not "all in" on RW. Let him still have some of that "got something to prove" element in his mindset. I wouldn't trade him for any other QB. There are some other great ones out there. I found it interesting that Rogers didn't run for the easy first down as pointed out by Collinsworth. I remember Brady doing the same thing in the playoffs last year. The can call him a game manager if they want. I think of him as kind of a point guard in basketball who puts up a fair amount of points but allows the other guys to do a lot of scoring. I don't want a quarterback who can't "manage" a game. Managing suggests that he is smart and making effective decisions. Yes, he does that. Will his pass attempt numbers go up this year. I think it is obvious that they will. What has troubled me most in his tenure is the lack of pass protection he got at times. Let's hope that is better this year and that will of course result in a change in the way he plays the position and the play calling. I am certain that he is in for a great season.

He is the best QB fin the league for OUR system. I wouldn't want anyone else. That doesn't mean other quarterbacks are not better in THEIR system.
Something overlooked by many is how he spreads the ball around. I think he threw to 8 different people last game. This is a reoccurring theme for him. He even mentioned it in the press conference after last game. You don't do this by only having one look for a receiver. This also makes it much harder for the defense to game plan. I bet next game they will key in on Harvin and Bladwin an Kearse get more action.
I also think now we are seeing Bevel with full confidence in his quarterback. I love his mix of plays from the last game.
It looks like this season will be real fun to watch our offense.

Best QB in the league? Very debatable.
Best fit for this team? No question.

Football is a team sport. Give Manning or Brees Seattle's defense and they would go undefeated.
Besides that, calling someone the best in the league, especially when that player plays QB, after only 2 seasons is premature.
I'd like to see how Russell does later in his career when/if the run game takes a nosedive or when your defense regresses. It's been 2 seasons. If he keeps it up and continues to improve over the course of the next 3-4 years, sure, I'll call him the best.

Well you can have your opinion regardless of how wrong it is. Just another one of the sheep that follows the national media narrative.RationalNiner":1lzp00df said:

Warner was a product of his environment too, like he had Bruce, Holt Faulk pace to go with a top five defense. In Arizona he had Boldin and Fitz. Look at all the great personal that surrounded Montana, Bradshaw, Aikman. Football is a team game

Good points Warden.
Isn't it weird that great QBs seem to always have great skill players? It's almost as if most plays in the NFL require more then a single player to complete. :sarcasm_off:
