Quote:Elite franchise QBs are rare. There probably isn't one in these drafts . That's fine, get your qb this year then. But look at the most successful qbs, besides Luck, were put on good running games and solid defenses. Big Ben , Flacco, Wilson , kaep, Newton. They were all allowed to succeed and become good qbs. I don't think Flacco or Wilson or even Brady would have succeeded as much as they did if they went to the Raiders. Who knows how good Gabbert would be in Wilson's position just handing it to Lynch and going 3 and out is ok because the defense will get it back

 

Russell Wilson converted 37% of his 3rd down passes this year.  43% in the playoffs this year.  


This year the Seahawks went 3 and out... 49 times I think. I think Jacksonville this year had 68.  That's a pretty big difference.  

 

The Jaguars by comparison this year converted just 27% of their 3rd down passes, and just 25% last year.
