100% this, just as Tical said. The threat of the legs masked his passing limitations, and when that went away the mask came off.keasley45":1je0g53u said:John63":1je0g53u said:keasley45":1je0g53u said:John63":1je0g53u said:Lol let me.try it another for you
You and tical want us to believe a qb who according to you
Can't throw short
Can throw people open
Can't diagnose defenses
Can't work in an offense
Can only throw long that's all
Some how despite not being good at doing anything an NFL qb needs to do but throw long some how is amongst the best to play the game through his first 10 years. You do realize how absurd that is.
Now as to your attempt to placate me. Know one says he is great at everything no qb is. What we are saying is he is better than u and tical who think he can't do anything but throw long is. All these complaints u have about Wilson can de leveled at every qb in league at some level.
Bro. A qb with a gifted arm and legs who doesn't throw the ball unless he sees his open by a pretty large margin is going to have a solid completion percentage. Especially if he functions in an offense that doesnt rely on him to do much through the air because it's build to win on the ground. Add in Russels natural gift and talents and you have a scenario where you have a qb with a cannon who rarely takes risks completing a high % of balls against defenses who have no idea where the ball is going because he's always off script. Doesn't mean he wasn't hall of fame good at it. Just that it doesn't explain away his obviously struggle at doing other basic things.
He's literally the definition of success despite his deficiencies which is remarkable and for that he deserves all the recognition he can get.
But talk about other aspects of his game... not so much. And that hasn't mattered until now.
Wow alot of reading from say absolutely nothing. I have proven factually you are wrong over and over when u figure that out wr can move on to important things.
No words for these responses.
Yes John. You've 'factually' proved nothing outside of quoting statistics.
Stats sometimes require context.
I'll use the one I've already mentioned several times. Russels qbr against the WFT the other night was 10. He literally shat the bed and hit a 110. By that standard, if he played as well as he did that night, by that Stat, he'd be the best of all time.
You know how many games he's played where hes gone 16 for 23 for 180 or so because he wasn't asked to throw and only did when Doug or Lock found an opening I'm a zone to sit in... or he'd hit Kearse on a PA pass?. Or the receiver had 3 yards of separation. That's was literally the first 7 plus years of his career.
He compiled his stats in a low risk simple system because that's what he showed he could do. Its not like he could beat 2 high in 2015 and forgot. And then he used his God given talent to function above what his attitude for xs and os allowed for.
Outside of that, he makes his hay on the long ball, his legs, and after 10 years still struggles against 2 high, exotic coverages and is still league worst going over the middle short.
That's 'factually' fact.
Hell, we often saw that even with his legs we didn’t operate at all in the passing game except but 2 drives a game. Which I used to pin on bevell. But in those 2 drives, it’d be late in the game, and Wilson would break contain more frequently on those drives, and then magically he’d be able to hit on passes.
Schotty came in and we started to operate offensively all game long, but that’s because his first year we ran the SHIT out of the ball. It was beautiful. We stayed with the run maybe one series too many in the Dallas playoff loss and so instead of staying with that effective mix the next year, we dramatically overcorrected with let Russ cook, which was fire until teams realized we weren’t going to go back to running ever again and they could sit out 3 high. We’ve been there ever since.
Now Waldron is trying to do what schotty tried towards the end: fix Russ vs cover 2 without resorting to running the ball all game long. With the same or worse results as schotty had because he isn’t fixable vs cover 2 by passing alone. Simply cannot beat it with his arm and his head. He definitively can not.
