**DISCLAIMER THIS POST ISN'T A EAST COAST BIAS POST, I AM ONLY LINKING IT BECAUSE IT IS HILARIOUS THE LOGIC USED**
So doing some catching up on deflate-gate, I happened upon this article.
http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/101699/no-one-gets-more-help-than-russell-wilson
As noted in my disclaimer (and I want to say it again), this isn't about ESPN picking on the Seahawks. To me it is freaking hilarious how far they go to say Wilson is "meh".
Quote from the article:
So by my math, Wilson has played 55 games. The author writes that Wilson has had a below average QBR (heh) in 22 of them. He won 15 of those games.
Which leads us to the other 33 games he has played in. Since the author states Wilson had a below average QBR in those 22, that means he had an average or above average in the remaining 33. We would take out the 15 wins from the below average leaving us with 27 wins.
That's right folks. Wilson has about a 68% win chance when he has a below average QBR. And the defense is having the "largest" impact.
But when Wilson has an average or above average QBR? His win chance goes up to 81%.

Quote from the article:
Seattle’s defense has a knack for playing its best when Wilson and the offense are at their worst. Since the start of 2012, Wilson has had 22 games with a QBR below 50, including 15 wins. In those games, Seattle has held its opponents to an average QBR of 34.0 and has had a per-game defensive efficiency of +7.3. In Wilson’s games with an above-average QBR, the Seahawks have allowed a 45.7 average QBR and have had a +2.4 defensive efficiency rating.
