The Wilson Blueprint

[htownskinfan]

I'm sick of people bringing up seattle's defense when it comes to Wilson.He was just slightly behind RG3 as a rookie and now he's surpassed him by so far its not funny.
Seattles defense had nothing to do with Wilsons 122 yards rushing,and that last drive where we had Wilson dead to right and he just put the knife in our back,what does Seattle's defense have to do with that? Wilson is a stud,period.
If you want to bring up wins then yes Seattle wins more because of their defense,but that has nothing to do with how good Wilson is.

No one is saying that Wilson isn't good, or even that he hasn't progressed more than RGIII. The problem is that a) people hold RGIII responsible for that, and b) don't believe that he has the potential to become a star (again). Wilson has enjoyed ideal development conditions, while Griffin has faced anything but: a torn knee, a head coaching fiasco, a team that is always playing from behind, etc.

Would any reasonable person not expect Wilson's development to outpace RGIII's at this point, considering all of the external factors? No, of course not. So there are two ways we can look at Griffin: a guy who has the potential to be a franchise QB, or we can just assume that he won't be and in his place insert whomever is roaming the sidelines as the back-up, with the reasonable expectation that that person will be the next Peyton Manning (because that plan has worked so well for the past two decades).

A lot of people, including those in the media, talk like Seattle wins just because of Wilson.

You put Wilson here in Washington, he probably has the same challenges and doesn't develop as well as he has in Seattle. You put RG3 in Seattle, he probably has more success than he's had here in Washington (though I'm not quite sure he'd win a SB).

Wilson is a very good QB, but I'm not quite ready to anoint him as the next Manning, Brady, Brees type of guy.
