Integrity28 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Undersized QB. Rookie just jumped up and TOOK that starting job in Seattle. Good for him. This is the type of QB the Bradway-led Front office and now Scouting Department of the Jets has never been able to draft. Seattle got lucky. The other side of this story is more Jets-like, in that Seattle overpaid for Matt Flynn and now likely won't be able to justify starting him. HAHAHHA... that is something we'd do. Russell Wilson runs away with starting QB job Russell Wilson completed 13-of-19 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns and rushed twice for 58 yards in Friday night's preseason start against Kansas City. Wilson led an all-out assault on Kansas City's first-team defense, engineering six scores (three FGs, three TDs) on his first six drives. He wound up playing seven possessions, the seventh ending on a 51-yard missed field goal. Wilson continued his August magic and has almost certainly won Seattle's starting job over Matt Flynn, who didn't dress for the game due to a sore elbow. Through three preseason games, Wilson is 35-of-52 (67.3 percent) for 464 yards (8.92 YPA), five touchdowns, and one interception. He's rushed 10 times for 150 yards and a sixth score. Wilson certainly has high-upside QB2 potential for the regular season. If you bet against the guy, chances are you're going to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangisGreen Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I remember when Mel Kiper said that this guy could not be an NFL QB. John Gruden and him had a pretty heated argument on draft day over this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yeah, Wilson looked absolutely terrific. Not only can the guy run (with really good judgement), he has one hell of an arm. I thought Foles looked really good too, but Wilson is on another level altogether athletically speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The Matt Flynn love affair is all essentially for one game last season. That guy made out like a bandit. The whole world was gushing about him this FA period and for what? This is why I don't get caught up in anything any of these talking heads say.

Matt39 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Braylon looks 100% as well.. If he were to get cut, no brainer for us. He'd immediately start. Also, David Wilson for the Giants, also looks like a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The only reason that Wilson, Foles, and Luck look good is because their teams game plan for the preseason and the Jets don't, you guys. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Making big deal out of the pre-season... lol I'd normally agree with you, as evidenced by my comments on the hysteria here for the past couple weeks. That said, and maybe this wasn't clear in my initial post, my "wow" was largely a reaction to Wilson coming to the league and facing a situation where he is the long-shot to win that job, and then stepping up and doing it. So it's more "making big deal out of long-shot stepping up and taking the job". It's the stepping up part that I'm impressed by. We don't get QBs around her there have guts like that. Clearly.

I meant specifically the last three years in deference to Sanchez's fragile psyche. But, come to think of it, they never really brought in anyone to challenge Penny until he was clearly shot.

But, come to think of it, they never really brought in anyone to challenge Penny until he was clearly shot. Our inability to bring in QB talent goes back to the beginning of Bradway's tenure here, whether as GM or whatever his involvement is scouting is. Same can be said for RB. Curtis Martin. Vinny T. In the past 20 years, two free agents are all we've managed to acquire worth talking about. Look at Detroit. Replace the bag GM with a good one, and you end up with Stafford, Megatron, Suh, Titus, and more whole organization turned around, and no soundbytes from anyone in that organization were needed to put that in motion.
