How do the Niners view Wilson? Think Pedro Martinez when he was with the Boston Red Sox and he was talking about the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers, he said, were his daddy. Same thing here ...

But, as teams have proved against the Seahawks, if a defense can take away his run game, he’s not as effective.
That said, his leading the league in passer rating is deceiving. He had the fourth-fewest passing attempts among the top 10 in passer rating
Those extra passes could be the difference between Wilson proving himself as a truly elite passer or someone who just gets by with his feet.

The comment that made me laugh was the one where he said that if you took away Wilson's running threat, that he wasn't as effective. Yea, well so what other multi talented athlete isn't AS effective if you take away one part of his game? The part that you fail to take away can still kill you.

But I'm not going to jump on the "Luck's a bum" bandwagon.
burrrton wrote:To be clear, I'm not, either. Quite the opposite, in fact- I'll be surprised if he *doesn't* end up being a consistent pro-bowl caliber QB.
c_hawkbob wrote:When you talk about a better passer vs a better QB I think of the old QB Challenge Hass won back in the day. I honestly think it'd be a pick'em between Luck and Wilson, but I sure would crack open a beer and sit down and watch!
On the field though, I wouldn't give the comparison a second of my time.
obiken wrote:All righty then guys, maybe that was a false premise. If so trust me, it wasn't intentional. I was going off most "experts" I wouldn't trade Luck for Wilson, especially with our OL this year. Behind our line he would be hamburger!!

Russell Wilson was the No. 75 overall pick of the 2012 draft. Four years later, he’s made 74 straight starts, and is coming off a stratospheric 2015 that cemented his standing amongst the elite of the elite. You could certainly argue that Wilson still isn’t as good as Aaron Rodgers, but you can’t argue his age — five years younger. That’s not to say youth alone is Wilson’s claim to the top spot. Whereas Rodgers struggled with a bad supporting cast last season, Wilson has consistently thrived with them. He’s also been held back by a run-first scheme that finally gave way to his unique gifts in 2015. Marshawn Lynch slept through his victory lap, so Wilson took the reins of the offense and put it on his back. Wilson has no missing pieces. He’s durable bordering on unbreakable, has made 10 postseason starts — including two Super Bowls — and gotten better each year. He is the envy of the league at its most important position. He is the most irreplaceable player in football, and the No. 1 reason the Seahawks will be challenging for Super Bowls for years to come.

Just an "edge"?
