Yeah rams r loaded.on d. They gave up 30 to.atl Carolina and Dallas

Wilson had 138 yards passing tonight. Again give RG3 his defense and he does the same . Wilson never has to win a game.

Big difference between those 2. Seattle doesn't go 7-1 without Wilson, plus he's done it 2 years in a row. A fluke? I think not.

The Seahawks are always well prepared as the team, have excellent clock mgmt and play with a purpose. Great balance of leadership from coaches and players too. When they have the oline intact and Harvin contributing they will be scary good on both sides of the ball. I'm thinking it comes down to hawks and saints in the NFC.

Thats not true. With their defense, they can win with a lot of QB's. Grossman went to a SB and Trent Dilfer won one, all on the backs of a good defense.

I think Wilson is much better than those two and Tebow, but he is not asked to win games. He is asked to not lose games. They won tonight by scoring 14 points with him throwing for 150 yards. A lot of QB's could have won tonights game for Seattle.

They could be 7-1 with Tavaris Jackson running the show. They're basically the same player in that offense. Jackson came in for garbage time this season and the offense (led by the offensive line and running game) did not lose a step.

Wilson doesn't have to do much.

Put Wilson on our team and he'd be struggling. He's not used to the pressure he'd face and having to put the whole team on his back and win from behind. He usually has under 30 pass attempts and less than 200 yards passing. We complain about Griffin's 9 fumbles this season...Wilson has 8 and all he's asked to do is hand the ball off to Lynch. Wilson has lost 8 fumbles in his career, Griff has lost 5. Even with Robert's horrible INTs this year, he still has one fewer than Wilson since Day 1.

Wilson's numbers are mediocre without having the burden of carrying the offense on his own. If asked to do more, I predict he'd really struggle. Look over his game logs for his career, you'll see about half of his games are in the 40-59% completion range, while only throwing the ball about 2 dozen times a game. 40% one week, 70% the next. He's not consistent. His stats remind me a lot of Jason Campbell when he was here, but Wilson doesn't have the 300-yard games that Jason did.

All the guy does is win...no wait, that is Tebow.

Russell Wilson - all the guy does is wear a jersey!

Yes he's a winner but it's a team game without that D he's not 7-1

You could say that about every QB ever, including manning Brady and Montana, it's hard to measure Wilson's greatness right now because we don't know what he is asked to do in order to put his team in position to win games.

Our Defense has been decent outside of the first 2 weeks. Kyle and the offense, Burns and the special teams havent held up their side of the deal.

No you cannot say that about every qb ever. Breeze did not exactly have a great defense in NO either did Peyton. Aaron Rodgers defense in GB has been far from stellar. Those are just three in recent history who put teams on their backs and won super bowls. Passing records and stats do not lie and to this point Wilson has not done anything that makes me believe he would be successful without Lynch, a stellar D, and a significant home field advantage. I think he is a good young qb that plays smart and has some wheels. Lets not put him in the Montana - Manning - Brady conversation just yet though.

I know we are sad about the obvious sophmore slump of RG3 so lets hate on Wilson, Luck and other QBs to make us feel better
