Oh come on. So Brady and Rodgers aren't the QB's they are when they put up great numbers against teams they are better than? And by the way, look up Wilson's W/L record against the elite QB's. He comes out ahead.
You're just a hater.
brady and rodgers have been putting up great numbers for years against all kinds of teams, not just for 4 weeks against mediocre teams.
I didn't say that Russell Wilson's career is on a par with either Brady or Rodgers. I said that Wilson has moved into the elite realm of QB's this year, and that he's currently on a par with any of them.
As a Seahawks fan, I've pretty much watched every play of his career. If you had asked me just 6 weeks ago if I felt the same way, I would have said no. Wilson, for all his strengths and unique skill-set, hadn't shown me that he could stand and deliver in the pocket with the best of them, that he could develop that rhythmic kind of passing game that I associate with the best of them.
But something changed with him right before my eyes the past month or so. What I saw wasn't just about stats, as great as they were. It was the fact that he was playing the position different and better than I had ever seen him. He was doing those things that I mentioned. Every time he dropped back to pass, I was almost sure it was going to be a completion.
I've been watching football for a long time. I can usually tell when a player I'm familiar with has taken their game to a new level. That's what I see in Wilson now, that he's done so.
