For the Record: I like Wilson. I root for whomever plays for us. But, what I do have a problem with is this god-like adoration some folks on this board obviously have. People already have him in the HOF, and compare him to Farve and Montana. Have you noticed when we win it is all because of RW, but if we lose, it is never his fault? The Teflon Man!!
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.
