Lynch/Gore= Edge to seattle not by much but Lynch atleast plays in more games and is a bit more healthy

Home Field= Clearly Seahawks

Wilson-Lynn/ Smith= Edge Seattle.. Both Sea QB’s have great potential and are un knowns.. whats know From Alex..? dudes a dud at No.1.. Hes a career average caliber QB..

National respect= 49ers.. Its good for the NFL to have the Niners back.. they desperately root for them bc of there national appeal.. same thing as cowboys.. But not justified after only 1 winning seasons in 10 yrs

Division winner= Seahawks.. About equal D’s Seattle finishes top 5.. Niners top 2.. not a big differential in stats.. Seattle wins with consistency in rushing attack and home field…

Conclusion= Stop hating a team for being successful in preseason.. As a former collegiate football player.. any competition is good.. and a win is a win.. Never over or “under” evaluate your proformance.. Seahawks fans are excited to be relevant.. Seems like 49 fans are just Homers.. stats dont lie.. but the eye test is important as well..
*added note.. Niners Still make playoffs!!!

By the way, Flynn makes only $2M this season. Very cheap for a quality back-up.

seahawksteven777 , the players you mentioned are the only decent players the Chiefs have. The rest are sub-par. I am guesssing you chose those particular players because they are the only 4 you could remember the names of.

Remember, these players arent playing for anything. They dont even get paid for these games. Think Hali is gona give 110% and chance getting injured and losing a bunch of money?

I dont care how good Wilson is, he will only get better by slowly working him into the starting position. Flynn has had great starts too, and Flynn is ready to show the NFL what he can do.

All the Seahawks have done is make Flynn not confident, and give too much pressure on a rookie QB.

Someone needs to tell Carrol he is no longer at the college level.

Yeah, because Tamba Hali, Brandon Flowers, Derrick Johnson, and Eric Berry would be 3rd stringers anywhere else…

Glad I didn’t buy that #15 jersey I was eyeballing.

Does Wilson have ability? Yes. Can he start in the NFL? Probably.

Wilson has demonstrated through College that he has a unique ability to make playes at that level.

The question is; Can Russell make the transition into the Professional game? Maybe he can, but it is far too early to tell.

Wilson is a rookie QB. He has zero live action experience. He plays decent in meaningless games against 2nd and 3rd string players (lets face it, KCs starters are 3rd string anywhere else), and everyone wants to hand him a gold jacket. Hahaha.

Flynn gives Seattle the best chance to win games. Seattle paid Flynn a lot of money to come in and win, and Flynn will be the starter.

There will be plenty of speculation if Flynn doesnt fare well. A lot of “what if”, but lets be realistic. If Wilson takes snaps as the starter, Flynn will be gone with his contract. If Wilson is the starter and doesnt win, Carroll is gone. Whatcha suppose Pete will do?

Pete isnt dumb enough to put all his chips on Wilson at this point. I can see a situation where Flynn could be benched in favor of Wilson if Flynn struggles, but Pete wont bet his job on a rookie. Why not? Because Pete Carroll isnt a complete idiot. Nor does he care what the players think. Which is why he has been around for all these years.

Yes, Wilson is that good.

He has all the tools and he is extremely accurate, from a mechanic standpoint, he is better than Luck.

Luck just has 5 more inches in height.

Wilson will be the best QB from this draft, and Iam a Bears fan, but you’re blind if you can’t see that.

Next he’ll be giving motorcycle lessons.

As a football fan, I hope this is a QB draft class that rivals the class of ’83. That would mean 3 studs and at least 1 serviceable QB.

Would be awesome to watch Luck, Wilson, and RGIII grow into a league that already has ascending talent like Rodgers, Stafford, and Newton to replace the eventual fading Peyton and Brady.

How can a fan not like this?

He was rad at NCSU, rad at WU, is mobile and a winner; what else do you want? If he were 6-4′ would his results be better?
__________
Yes, yes they would. I’m not really sure what you’re trying to argue here. Wilson does what he does really well, and no one is trying to argue against that, it’s just ridiculous to say that he wouldn’t be better if he had the same mobility and athleticism, but was 6’4″. Michael Jordan was a great player, but would he have been a better player at 6’7″ or 6’8″? Unquestionably. Being taller would give Wilson more options. While he certainly shows the ability to get the job done at his height, if a genie came by offered Wilson 5 extra inches, does anyone honestly think he would even stop to think about it?

Pete Carroll made his decision to start Russell Wilson about 2 weeks ago. He’s not ready to NAME him the starter yet because of the stupid games coaches play, both with players and making the week 1 opponent “prepare for both Qb’s.” Seattle plays Arizona in week 1 and guess what? Whisenhunt is doing the same thing. It’s going to be Wilson vs. Kolb.

I charted him against the top 8 QBs last year and concluded: he does everything better than Luck and RG3 and only RG3′s long ball is better. That may be moot, because Shanahan doesn’t let RG3 throw deep.

Russell is the perfect mesh, where brain meets athletic ability. He’s in total control.Nice nicknames, but I like “THE COMMANDER”.
