He's a passing threat, he has no one to pass to. Can't really pin any of the INTs on him today, nor his previous pick which was an end of the half bomb. I'm not ready to even come close to saying he's doing a bad job. His stats don't show it, but he's doing a good job, especially considering your grandma could keep our WRs covered.
What else do you do when no one gets open?
The Ds make the opposing offenses look meh. It's pretty scary.
Uh, you run the ball. Remember, Wilson is supposed to be a huge threat to run all the time?!?
He did sometimes, sometimes he checked down (which was the topic being replied to, btw).Uh, you run the ball. Remember, Wilson is supposed to be a huge threat to run all the time?!?
Some of it. I watched 100% of the MNF game. That game alone was more than I needed to see. I think Rice looks good. How about getting a QB who can get him the ball? Would be nice to stretch the field, maybe even not face 8 in the box.

Obviously it hasn't gone well early, but Wilson was clearly the best QB in the preseason in what was a fair competition. Frankly, I think it took balls for Carroll to start a 3rd-round QB over the guy they hand-picked in free agency. For once, money didn't dictate playing time. Refreshing.
Agreed.This is/was dumb by Seattle. I have been quite open about how ridiculous this decision to start a rookie QB in this situation was.
Can't blame the receivers when they caught 68% of Wilson's passes.
Yes, you can blame the receivers. They have a hard time getting open, holding onto the ball and staying on their feet to even make an attempt at dropping another pass.
One was a drop by Baldwin that was right in his bread basket, the last was a play where MVcCoy was wide open on the final drive and Russell threw it to where he should have been if he had remained on his feet. He slipped, end of game. Forgetting the second int at the moment, but I don't recall it being a bad throw.
2nd interception he held it too long in the pocket and got hit and it just flew up like 10 feet in the air.
They got open enough for Wilson to complete 68% of his passes. They didn't drop more than a few passes, which is the statistical norm.
You didn't watch the game ...your comments are uneducated.'Chazzhawk said:
Only one WR (Rice) caught more than one pass. TEs and RBs caught all but 6 of his completions.
Not really. TO/KWII are gone. Rice wasn't a part of the preseason magic.
Yes, that one was on him.
That's an excellent reason to give him time to correct course.
Did you watch this game?
Checkdown Charlie.
Like he checked down Golden Tate's two TDs last week?
the first two are addition by subtraction. Rice is a benefit, not a detriment.
They're gonna need time to develop some chemistry, which would be the case with Rice and any QB currently on the Seahawk roster.
good point, but still, Wilson is a work in progress, and he is NOT an above average QB like some in here were claiming.
None were from bad throws.
Those are the passes he threw. Blame them for not being able to get open for the ones he didn't.
And why do you check down...?
Because you're too short.
That might be a reason on some plays, but for the most part it's because there's no one to throw to.
Problem is, Flynn couldn't outplay the kid in OTAs, TC, practice, meetings or preseason games. He gave his WRs 3 chances to catch the winning TD on the road against one of the best Ds in the league in week 1 (there's a reason Edwards hasn't seen a pass since then). He was one slipped TE away today from being in the same position again this week against a rejuvenated Rams team in a hostile dome. Those of you claiming total failure aren't paying attention very closely.
Seems like the reason changes depending on which Wilson Apologist is posting. You say it's because Edwards can't be trusted; another guy says it's because Edwards can't get open; yet another guy says it's because the O-line isn't giving Wilson enough time.Excuses, excuses.
The fact that the game plan has yet to allow Wilson to throw for more than 160 yards passing in 4 straight games is beyond bad. They are the worst passing offense in the league right now. To not fault the QB for a good chunk of that is not justified.I have stated it before, but coaches make errors. It happens all the time. Carroll has made this much more difficult than it needed to be. Start Flynn, if he falls flat on his face you turn to Wilson. Now this looks like a situation where Wilson may play a game or two longer than he should have and by then the Seahawks will be clawing back to fight for a playoff spot (this is a team that should be 1 and 3). So already they should be clawing back.
I guess that's better than his opponents blindly repeating that he's too short. I dunno how you got that I'm blaming Edwards for anything other than not trying hard in his two opportunities at a game winning TD in week 1. I don't even remember hearing his name since then.
Oh yeah, let's go back to the "should've lost" because of bad calls on the last play and forget that GB wouldn't have taken the lead without the same ref help. This is a team that's 2 incompletions from being 4-0, despite the limited gameplan. All Flynn had to do was beat out a rookie, he didn't do that. The best player won the job and had his team in position to win both of the losses. He's useless fantasy wise but once you determine he won the battle, you wait until he's the glaring reason for the team's failures and he just plain isn't that yet.
Refuse to believe that he's too short if you want, but the fact is that he has the fewest passes over 20 yards of any QB in the NFL. That includes Gabbert, think about that.
And how does that prove he's too short?
For whatever reasons, Wilson is extremely reluctant to hang in the pocket, step forward, and make a through. While pass protection and rookie jitters/inexperience may play into that; I think it's fairly obvious right now, his height plays a large role in attributing to the indecisiveness and lack of pocket presence. Regardless, it's hard for me to believe that almost any other starting QB in the NFL would have lost that game today.
You're typically a reasonable poster, but this is just bad.
