Russell Wilson’s numbers this year, fwiw:

20 TDs, 6 INTs.
(RW simply does not make many mistakes.
He’ll take sacks but he wont give the ball away)

QB rating 95.7

17th in passing yards.

21st in attempted passes.

5th most Sacks with 39. (Kaepernik has the most at 51)

Shaun Hill has an 87.5 QB rating, btw. 8 TDs, 5 INTs.

Flacco is at 89.7

Looks like Aaron Rogers and Tony Romo are
having similar years. MVP could go to either one.

That;s a little misleading. Seattle as a team is ranked 32nd in passing attempts. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sea/2014.htm

THe reason that translates to 21st as an individual for Wilson is because many qbs were benched or injured this year, so there are a lot of them with counted attempts who do not have that many games. For example Stanton is 31st in attempts, Palmer 32nd, and Lindley 47th, but Arz as a team is 16th. Chances are if Palmer played all year, he would push Wilson down to 22nd.

So what Wilson being 21st as an individual tells you is that basically, only 21 teams this year started one qb in at least 13 out of the 15 games.

Meanwhile, if you compare teams, Seattle with Wilson throwing is 32nd in attempts.

And sack #s don’t count as much btw if you consider sack percentage. So while Seattle is 32nd in passing attempts, they’re also 28th in sack percentage… which is a bad combo.

Well the fact that RW has had to deal with a lot of sack-pressure
and still only has six INTs, may indicate
that he handles/manages pressure a lot better
than most QBs.

I agree about Wilson–he has a level head under pressure and can also make plays. But there’s a reason the Rams usually beat the living hell out of him, win or lose.

Whats special about Wilson is his salvaging broken plays for positive yards. Moving the chains with Lynch and Wilson on ground and opportunistic passing by Wilson is their offense. Contain Lynch and you force them into their weakness (passing) and a strength (Wilson scrambling). Very smart capable durable 3rd round draft choice elite QB.

The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

Sprinkles are for winners.

He’s a playmaker. Smart, moves the chains, rarely hurts his team, seems to be a great leader in the huddle, too

We’ll see how good he is once the Seattle run game slows down, and the defense slips.
