HawkNuts":2xtmhsfx said:RW doesn't do well with pressure in his face. He can't see the receivers and his natural inclination is to bail outside rather than stepping up through the traffic. He especially struggles when the guard gets pushed back into his face.
He needs to shoot passed the traffic and get rid of the ball or run.
With that said Denver has the ability to pressure any QB with there defensive line. Something we are sorely lacking.
In addition to the frequency with which Wilson has been under pressure throughout his entire career, the other interesting part of the numbers here are that Wilson excels, relative to other QBs, both when pressured and when not pressured. 2016 is an outlier because of the injuries, but in the three years prior to that, Wilson was top five in DVOA when pressured and top six in DVOA when not pressured every season. More remarkably, from 2012 to 2016, only Roethlisberger has performed better under pressure than Wilson, and not a single quarterback has performed better when not pressured.
Seymour":2lmtohtb said:Wilson is surely to blame and several, but those still pics do not tell all. For instance, the sideline comeback routes where a receiver "looks" open by 2 yards is not as open is it appears since the defender can close that gap by the time the ball gets there. That is how many pic 6's happen. That is just one instance of the many that cannot tell the real story if a guy is really open by our "no turnovers" standard.

And there is that. Von Miller (#2 Overall pick) and Bradley Chubb (#5 Overall pick) are 2 of the best. It's almost unfair that they have both of them.
"Von Miller’s reaction said it all.
Filming himself on Instagram from his room at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, the Broncos’ all-pro linebacker unleashed a scream of joy as his team’s selection of North Carolina State edge rusher Bradley Chubb was announced on television.
“We got Bradley Chubb!” Miller yelled as Chubb highlights rolled behind him. “He cold!”

Sure, there are a few posters actively hating on Russ but it's a very small minority. I think you're missing the reason why a large number of fair minded, reasonable folks may point out that Russ "could have played better" on Sunday to quote Pete Carroll. The entire offense is viewed through the lens of the QB, so analyzing QB play is the first step in analyzing the rest of the offense.Scorpion05":3hflmhft said:At this point, those with an axe to grind to place most of the blame on Russell will see what they want. Those who won’t even acknowledge that Russ missed a couple throws(like EVERY QB) will see what they want. And fair minded, reasonable folks will see that Wilson had a WHOLE LOT to overcome while trying to keep us in the game.

Jaws, not Hill Street. You are thinking of Daniel J. Travanti. Roy Scheider not Schreider.
Popeyejones":cwfwg50g said:Nice article.
The link to the PFR article at the end is particularly useful too -- it shows that depending on how you measure the most (or one of the most) stable QB metrics when a QB changes teams is their sack rate.
It's the perfect desgin to show that QB sacks have MUCH, MUCH more to do with quarterbacks (and less to do with the offensive line) than we usually attribute them to.

For example, Tyler Lockett had a great TD catch but besides that only caught 2 passes for 8 yards, despite playing on every offensive snap but one. Jaron Brown was in on over half of the snaps and had one catch for 7 yards. Brandon Marshall had 3 catches on 37 snaps. However, the numbers alone tell an incomplete story without knowing how the rest of the offense was functioning. If Russ was missing open receivers then that is a case for optimism about the group going forwards as they continue to build chemistry.
You could view the article in the OP as an attack on Russ if you were so inclined or you could also view it as a defense of the much maligned OL. In my view knowing that Russ didn't get the ball out quickly enough against a good pass rush in Denver is an important first step to better managing another good pass rush on Monday night in Chicago. I agree that still photos can be misleading but that particular conclusion is obvious from watching the game film.
