Oh, and he has five games left to throw nine touchdowns for the rookie record. And five left to throw three more to get to that 20 TD plateau.

I was down on Griffin a couple weeks ago for regressing off his fast start...but it could be tough for Wilson to hold off Griffin (who shot from 8 TDs to 16 in the past two weeks). It could be a case where both these guys tie/break the record.

It took Hass a few years. Give Russell some time, man!
The rest is just so much masturbation.

The only two stats that matter are; W-L, and Super Bowls. The rest is just so much masturbation.

If you are going to take that stance -
Hass and Wilson have won the same number of Super Bowls. The rest is just masturbation. Who cares if Hass went to a Super Bowl on SA's back? Moreover, Wilson hasn't even finished a season and could lead this team to their first SB win this year. He hasn't even failed at it yet.
But to trun anti-troll down a little - Wilson has exceeded all expectations and has been great.

Uh, How many times has Russell Wilson failed to get us to the Super Bowl? Yeah, that's what I thought.
I think your reply to this thread was a premature ejaculation.

Honestly, who gives a flying f-word whether those fans get a little over excited? Or if they celebrate his great year by comparing him favourably (and not unfairly) to previous seasons by one of the best and most successful quarterbacks in Seahawks history? If you're going to get bent out of shape about that, why are you even a Seahawks fan?
Fancy that - a god-like admiration for the teams starting quarterback. Whatever next? A keen interest in the fortunes of the teams running back? An over-exuberant celebration during Golden Tate's latest touchdown? Shocking behaviour for a fan.
But at least you've taken the time to reassure us you 'like' Wilson and 'root for whomever plays' for the Seahawks. What a relief! There was me wondering if you were even willing to take such a giant leap of faith. Kudos for that.
Russell Wilson is having a terrific first season as the Seahawks starting quarterback and nobody should be trying to put a lid on that. It's OK to be excited about this team. And the OP using Hasselbeck's stats to emphasise just how well Wilson is doing this year is a fine way of doing just that.

Someone posts about how good Russell Wilson is doing by comparing his numbers to Hasslebeck's as a point of context
Somebody takes offense to the comparison that would imply that Wilson is better than Hasslebeck.
Somebody takes offense to that person taking offense.
The initial person who took offense has his fanhood questioned.
Thread devolves into standard back and forth of "He's a rookie and hasn't proven anything yet" to "He reminds me of Joe Montana".
Good work fellas, medals of valor awarded to both sides.

I have something similar to that. I also have a Marshawn Lynch Fathead on the ceiling above my bed. What of it?

The difference being you have a picture of pehawk on your alter....and please, let's not talk about the stains on the fathead.

No, it's a picture of RW. A big one. Because he's awesome and amazing and funny and handsome and smart and talented and handsome.
I can't understand why anybody cares how much people like him.

That's because you aren't one of the cool kids. If you were one of the cool kids, you would know that a big part of coolness is not liking anything too much or too little, but just the right amount.

Hass had a totally different team with a far superior O-Line, but yeah.

I didn't call KJR; nor have I ever said Flynn should be starting. Nor have I ever said RW is terrible. I dare you to show me a post of mine where I said that! C'mon, show me. Prove it!
