That's great. But it's not like he was undrafted. Or a fringe 6th rounder. Or even a 4th round pick. People seem to think GM's are just so stupid for not being able to find "their Russell Wilson". Duh, just draft a dude in the 2nd, you stupid GM. Seahawks did it omg.
Wilson was a third-round pick (75th overall). You can draft a dude in the 2nd or 3rd, but there's no guarantee those guys will pan out either. It's such a crapshoot.
Mark Sanchez had multiple good years when he entered the league and now look how much people get pissy at him.
Were those really "good years"? Or just "good years for Mark Sanchez"? His "best years" were probably in 2010 and 2011, and he never completed more than 57% of his passes, averaged less than 220 yards/game and posted a 43:40 TD:turnover ratio during that span. I'd probably say that's less-than-average by NFL starting QB standards. YMMV.
Russell could do the same thing if the team around him implodes like the Jets did.
That's true, though I don't get that sense. He's already performed better in each of his two seasons than Sanchez ever did in his "best." It's a relatively stable organization with key pieces and depth at a lot of positions. Of course, with Rice and Tate leaving, he could have a bit more trouble at receiver. He'll be relying on Harvin a ton this season, even if they add a couple of receivers via the draft. If Harvin gets injured, though, Wilson could really struggle to move the ball.
Time will tell if they do become a "dynasty" but it's far too premature.
Absolutely, but I'd rather be in their place.
All this "dynasty" talk about the Seahawks is cracking me up. It's ridiculously premature. Let's see if they can even make it to back-to-back conference championships before we start talking about a dynasty-like run of Super Bowls.
