What the title says, folks, as per Randall Lui (NFL Director of NFC Communications) via Twitter

Randall Liu ‏@RLiuNFL

NFC Offensive Player of Week 13: @Seahawks QB Russell Wilson. Congrats @DangeRussWilson

you know, i am now thuroughly convinced now.. RW could win every flippen week, and Luck will still be considered the greatest rookie of all time, despite what the stats say.. just sick of it all. not going to let it get to me any more. just going to kick back and enjoy watching my new franchise qb do what he does.. i actually am hoping RGIII wins it now, just so goober faced luck doesn't win..

Congrats Russell, well deserved! First Seahawk since Shaun Alexander to win one in 2005

Congrats! Just the beginning of the legend that is Russell Wilson.

Unless RW throws 400+ yards in each of the next 4 games, with another 10 td and no interceptions.

And Luck throws for under 200 in each and maybe 2 TD with at least 8 interceptions,

Then their is no possibility that people say RW is better then Luck.

The power of ESPN is convincing everyone that the guy they have been hyping for 2 years prior to the draft is the best ever. Hes been playing good, but no where near RW or RG3. And as of right now RG3 is rightfully the frontfrunner for ROY. Being as unbiased as I can.

You could also just enjoy the moment.

Congrats to our rookie sensation. This kid just continues to impress, and those of you constantly clamouring for national attention, you can thank RW for putting this year's team on that map.

Thats awesome! Well deserved.

The first of many honors for Russ. Oh, and I'm guessing he could care less. Dude's about the wins, not the honors. The only one he's going to care about is the one the team gets when they are handing Paul Allen the Lombardi trophy.

Congrats to Russell! Well deserved!

This guy is doing more than just winning games for us, he is literally becoming the face of the franchise! Im from Idaho where there has never been a huge football culture, but so many of my friends who were never football fans are asking how Russell did this week, or can they come over for Seahawk gameday at my place. The best story yet was from my friend who is on study abroad in Ecuador who said that there are Wilson jerseys and Seahawk hats on the bus everyday which werent there at the beginning of the season. They are loving the Hawks right now!

I really believe its the character he displays in interviews, his dedication to the game, and the exciting play style he gives us week to week! At the beginning of the season I could barely find a couple people to go to the Cowboys game with me, now have at least eight who are hardcore cheering for the Hawks to win the NFCW so that we can all hit up a home playoff game!

DangeRuss and BeastMode = Super Bowl XLVII

ya that's kinda what i said in my post, in a round a bout, angry way...

What a great pick, you mad Mel Kiper?

How about you Polian?

Congrats Dangeruss!

Congrats Mr. Wilson!!

Not bad for a career back up.

I think that's what Kiper called him.

now if only the colts and redskins will lose out so they can stop the love fest for luck and rg3... wilson should be in the discussion for rookie of the yr along with these guys... east coast biased sweating the other two nuts but when side by side luck is last in every state minus yards

Well deserved!

many people forget the JAGS chose a punter right before we chose Wilson ... LMAO!

That's why his name is on the ball.

Congrats Russell, very well deserved!

I love Russell insane amounts

I just want to see Wilson win more games than Luck.

I keep hearing the stat that Luck has now won more games than any other 1st overall pick. So, if Wilson wins more games than Luck, I want to see ESPN dance around that and make up some new stat for Wilson, so Luck can still have the most overall wins for his draft slot.

Who gives a shiitakke mushroom? (Thats code for sheeee.it)

Rick Mirer won Rookie of the Year

No he didn't. Runner up.

I wonder what the most games won for a rookie from the 3rd round (or any pick outside of #1 overall) is?

Color me surprised. I know he earned it, but usually the media finds a reason to ignore our team for awards like this.

Congrats, anyway! Well earned on a well played game.

Obviously.

Good stuff. Wilson is MAAAAAAAAAN!

The media pundits are agonizing over this because, they still have the image in their minds of Russell Wilson throwing that "should have been ruled a pick" to Golden Tate to win that game with the Patsies.

Wilson is still on the clip for passing P.Manning up for rookie TD's,,,Got my fingers crossed for this to happen, because the media will have a problem ignoring that stat, ESPECIALLY with everyone harping on it.

Congrats to the dude, we have something to be excited about now

Too bad Mel Kiper doesn't eat crow.

Imagine we had a top teir WR for him to throw to. Or better yet a top teir TE. I like Miller but if we had someone elite receiving. I know this team is built for defense first b/c PC is a defensive minded coach, but I can see us draft next year towards offense to give this guy better weapons for next year.

There was Twitter poll on NFL Live today asking "Who has been the most impressive rookie quarterback?" 40% answered Russell Wilson. RGIII was number 2, Luck 3. People are starting to recognize.

Good job Mr. Wilson. Very excited to see the rest of this season play out. Also excited to see who we will add this offseason to give the offense a boost. RG3 and Luck better watch out cuz its DangeRuss on the field. Go Win Seahawks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw that too, and was thoroughly surprised. My friends, this is just the beginning.

No he didn't. Runner up.

Jerome Bettis did, iirc.
