Russell Wilson stats finale

- Wilson does become the first QB in NFL history with a passer rating of 95+ in each of first three seasons.

- He is one of five players with at least 20 touchdown passes in each of first three seasons.

- He's the first QB in the Super Bowl era to have a Y/A of 7.6 or better in each of his first three seasons.

- Only one QB in NFL history had more than one season with more than 20 TD passes and 10 or fewer interceptions in each of his first three seasons: Wilson, who has three such seasons.

Wilson's three-year regular season career: 36-12, 63.4% completions, 9,950 yards, 72 touchdowns, 26 interceptions, 98.6 passer rating, 7.95 Y/A, 207.3 Y/G, 308 carries for 1,877 yards and 11 touchdowns, 29 fumbles, 115 Rate+, 118 Y/A+, 115 TD%+, 110 INT%+

- The last four numbers correlate to how Wilson has been on average compared to the rest of the league's quarterbacks over the last three years, with 100 being average. Wilson has been above average in every notable category in every season of his career, with the exception of sack%, which has been below-average in all three seasons.

- His 72 touchdowns is the seventh-most ever through three seasons. All six players ahead of him did have considerably more interceptions.

- His passer rating is third-best, after Kurt Warner and Otto Graham.

- His Y/A is fourth-best since 1951.

- His 36 wins is three more than any other QB. Definitely a team effort, but Wilson has a lot to do with those 36 wins.

- Wilson's 1,877 rushing yards is second-most by a QB in the modern era through three seasons behind Cam Newton's 2,032 yards.

RW's the Man!

More confirmation of the awesomeness of the Russ. While the pundits get blinded by the glitter of total yards and TD passes RW keeps rewriting the ALL TIME records.

Good post, because actual numbers and on field performance, clearly pale in comparison to height and draft status, and obviously the eye test isn't biased in any way!
