Mockingly, within the week we discovered about how Russell Wilson tried to develop into the highest-guaranteed paid participant in NFL historical past, NFL.com declared Wilson among the best worth picks in quarterback historical past.
Look he even made the thumbnail!
The argument in his favor reads as such:
Incomes the Seahawks’ prime job by Week 1 as a rookie, Wilson (who measured 5-foot-10 5/8 on the 2012 NFL Scouting Mix) would go on to start out 149 straight regular-season video games (165, together with playoffs) for Seattle, the sixth-best QB mark in NFL historical past. He led the franchise to a rousing Tremendous Bowl XLVIII victory over Peyton Manning and the Broncos. Wilson has made 10 Professional Bowls, together with in every of his first 4 seasons within the NFL, and he’s been a top-five finisher in Offensive Participant of the 12 months voting thrice.
That not solely qualifies him as among the best worth quarterbacks ever, but in addition as one of many nice draft bargains of all time, no matter place.
The quarterbacks valued forward of Russ are Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Lamar Jackson.
The kicker? Brock Purdy rounds out the checklist for the fifth spot.
Recency bias, a lot? If we’re permitting the ultimate decide of the primary spherical to be thought-about for “greatest worth of the millennium,” would possibly I humbly recommend Drew Brees? Additionally chosen thirty second general (although that was Spherical 2 again then), an undisputed Corridor of Fame QB and Tremendous Bowl champion, Brees appears a stronger candidate than ol’ doubtful arm power himself.
You all, oh mighty Discipline Gulls Trustworthy, weigh in! Does Russell Wilson really feel about proper? Anyone else match the invoice for this checklist?
