Quote:Right now neither is a top 10 QB. I think blake will be, wilson won't in the future. Wilson is 17th in yards in a pass happy league. Hoyer and Alex Smith are ahead of him.... let that sink in.. Hoyer and Smith. Blake is 23rd and only 500 yards behind Wilson.

Wilson has a complete team, Blake has rookies and he's a rookie with a 2nd year coach. What could blake do in Seattle, and what would Wilson look like here?

 

... on a run-first team with great defense and good special teams (although this year we are far from last season; we miss Golden Tate as returner and coverage is also worse). Because of that Wilson usually has shorter field than most of other QBs and he can't put up all those passing yards. Pete Carroll doesn't care about them either. He's about efficiency and ball security and Wilson does everything that is asked of him and much more. Behind a bad OL (in pass protection, but I also think Lynch and Wilson make them look better they really are in run blocking) and without a true #1 WR on his team.

 

Anyway, passing yards are for me one of the most overrated stats in football. They are only useful in fantasy football (BTW, if I'm not mistaken Wilson is 3rd best fantasy QB this season).
