Another amazing play.
You know I think I might have to score Wilson 6/5.
My fav scramble/pass from last year.
My fav scramble/run from last year.
And you're either dumb or a hater if Wilson isn't a 5/5.
What is crazy I could post another 30 of these miraculous scramble plays, Wilson does them routinely. I still can't wrap my head around a 4/5. /Christian Bale look .gif.
How ANYONE could watch this and not call him an "ELITE" Quarterback, and that it undeniably proves he's a 5/5.
And too, there are lots of nobody's foolishly making claims, that he could be easily replaced, if he doesn't cave to the Front Office in negotiations SMH.
Scrambling is only one part of Wilson, and every other QB's game. Pointing at one (albeit spectacular) play as evidence that Wilson is amongst the best QB's in the NFL (top 5) is not the best way to evaluate Wilson, or any player. If you look at the whole Wilson starts looking less spectacular.
As a passer he has a lot of work to do. His play is up, and down, never really consistent. He'll be great for a quarter or two in games, and pull a disappearing act for the rest of the game. One reason I suspect this happens is because he has been too reliant on his scrambling abilities while he has been in the NFL. All of that running around affects his accuracy in my opinion. I notice after he has done a lot of running around he looks like he throws high. It ruins his ability to create any semblance of a rhythm which is very important for most passing games. Instead of checking down, it always looks like he goes for the big knockout punch. He needs to get over that mentality if he ever wants to take the next big step in his game.
I also feel concerned about how hesitant he looks to trust his receivers. Unless they are open by a mile, he seems to do a double take. He is also lacking in ball placement on short routes, and throws that exploit the middle of the field. Most of his throws are usually on the sidelines. These are things that the top passers in the NFL do on a regular basis even if they don't have the best receivers on their team.
These reservations that I have make me wonder if he what he would be capable of if we went to a more pass oriented offense. I think this is a question that should be answered before we pay him the big money. That is why I would be perfectly fine with just sitting back, and seeing how he does this year.
Think Matt Hasselbeck from 2003-2005. Sure, we had a more run biased offense, but even still we had an offense that was feared by other teams. This was accomplished with simple, but effective concepts. Hasselbeck took what was given to him, and was very good at going through his progressions, and getting into a rhythm. The result was that he was very good at converting third downs. I would like to see Wilson do the same thing, make a quick, decisive decision to keep the ball moving. Overall that would really increase his efficiency.
