That’s exactly what I meant when I said that, so you’re actually agreeing with me.I disagree with you here too, but only in the sense that he’s a better “typical” quarterback than he looks.
Sure looked like they did when they let the Rams walk into Seattle and curb stomp them. I’ve never seen them play so badly & disinterestedly at home. It got so bad that in the middle of the 2nd quarter you could hear a pin drop from the “12th man”.To be clear, I’m not one to defend Wilson. I was defending the team. They certainly didn’t quit last week.
Thanks for mansplaining Russell Wilson to me. I’ve observed each and every one of those things.Wilson is far from a prototypical quarterback. The knowledgeable writers that cover him weekly are starting to comment more and more. He misses obvious throws far too often and creates his own sacks when his tackles do their job well. Wilson has some major flaws in his game that are showing up more often. I don’t disagree that he’s a unique talent making it tough to judge his performances compared to others. Overall I’m glad he our QB in Seattle, but he’s far from perfect.
based on the Swiss cheese OL, he’s severely regressed, often heading footsteps too early & making poor improv decisions. Back when those breakdowns would occur 1-2 maybe 3 times a game, it was impressive to see how he’d improv his way out of it like a magician. But you can’t run an offense that’s 100% backyard football, with breakdowns seemingly on every play.
but we agree he’s better than he’s shown - I’m not sure any QB not named Wilson could have the success he’s had this season - it’s truly remarkable that he’s put up as many points as they have & a legitimate case for MVP could (and should) be made for him. That they’re going to the playoffs is mind-boggling.
I’d say they’re 1 & done, except for the Wilson factor - you just never know what miracle he’ll pull off.
But all carriages turn into pumpkins eventually, and it’s felt like midnight for a few weeks here. He was awful last week & he was again awful this week. That he put up some fantasy stats under the circumstances was ancilariy to his actual NFL performance.
Hard to win a playoff game throwing for less than 100 yards, and the other playoff teams are pretty unlikely to have a QB as terrible as Dak was.
But I wish your team luck. We’ve all got our opinions. I’m not hating on Seattle. I lived there for years and have many friends in the fanbase. It’s also hard for me to see them as a Niners rival because in my mind they’re an AFC team since that’s what they were when I was growing up.
but they had the look of a team that quit against LAR. You’re welcome to disagree with me, but that’s my opinion.
As for questioning the heart of a champion, I don’t see this team as a champion - I see a hot mess. The defense is decimated, they don’t have a run game & the OL is awful. And according to reports there’s been chemistry issues since Wilson got paid. Not sure how much truth to those rumors, but where there’s smoke there’s often fire.
Best of luck to your team in the playoffs. Looking forward to seeing how they retool for next year & seeing how Garoppolo does against them.
