Wilson getting rid of the ball in 2.37 seconds on average

^ where have you gathered that information?

Do you know for a fact that Bevell is not mostly responsible or is that an assumption? There is a reason that some headcoaches takes over the game calling responsibilities when things go bad. My strong suspicion is that it is NOT because they are already in charge of game calling........

They are part of game planning but not calling specific plays beyond some special plays like going for it on 4th down, fake punt etc

WOW! This really demonstrates the progression of Russell Wilson and just how much he has truly grown as a QB. Check it out ...

In 2012 (as a rookie), Russell Wilson had an average snap to release time of 3.12 seconds (SLOWEST of all QB's with at least 175 dropbacks)

Sheil Kapadia wrote about this issue back in February, noting the need for Russell to be quicker in his release. According to his article, here were the top 5 Fastest QB Releases in the NFL in 2015 ...
Andy Dalton ... 2.20 seconds
Tom Brady ... 2.26 seconds
Peyton Manning ... 2.27 seconds
Ryan Fitzpatrick ... 2.31 seconds
Alex Smith ... 2.32 seconds

In other words, Russell Wilson has gone from having the SLOWEST average release ... to now having one of the league's FASTEST.

Consider that in context -- Russell Wilson owns a career 3.17 Touchdown/Interception ratio – that is the 2nd Best TD/INT ratio of all time.

He sports a 64.8% career completion% -- that is the 8th Best of All Time.

And he’s one of the league’s best at throwing the deep ball, completing 40.5% of all deep passes he threw last year (3rd best in the NFL).

He’s deadly on the run outside the pocket … and now he’s shown the rest of the NFL (quite convincingly) what we and Pete Carroll have always known – that he is just as deadly FROM inside the pocket as well. He has evolved into one of the truly elite passers in this game and the numbers show it. He is right up there with Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and whomever else you want to compare him to. Even the NY Daily News might even eventually begrudgingly admit that.

So. Damn. Awesome. :drool: :drool: :drool:

The analogy breaks down because Russ is the cook, Bevell tries to give him the recipe and show him how to cook, and PC is the head Chef who sets the menu.

There are too many hands in the process to be justified blaming only one person when the food isn't as you wish.

Nothing in football is "all [someone's] call." That's the fallacy that needs to be called out in this case. The argument is old, tired, and without merit.

A+ post

It's a good example of how he's adjusted his game, and Darrell Bevell has adjusted his calls, to work around Wilson's injuries.

And it only took Bevell three years, what a genius :roll:

It was probably more Pete's stubbornness than Bevell's. Bevell hasn't been given that much control.

I have wondered how much this was the case. I know Pete likes to take the heat for these kinds of things, but I've usually chalked it up to Pete being a decent manager and taking responsibility for his staff. Where have you gathered that? (That's an honest curiosity, not skepticism.)

Just observing how much philosophical control Pete keeps over the organization, and several pieces of literature about how Pete has a very distinct idea - on both sides of the ball - about how to run things, has ever since USC.

I still get annoyed at Bevell's situational playcalling, which he is mostly responsible for.
