and after the ridiculous interceptions that lost us the ECU, VT, and I think maybe the Maryland game, he didnt deserve it

though I believe RG3 won it with a 8 win record

I feel like his final year at State was IMO his worst year at QB. He was a great collegiate pocket passer, but it felt like he scrambled less and less each year and that caused his INT's to increase throughout his time at State. He threw some big picks that year while making some very un-Russell like plays. Not just in the losses, but a pick down near the goal line in the FSU 2010 game would've likely cost State that game if Ponder didn't fumble in the red zone.

9/6/2014 2:10:03 AM

would have 100% cost us the game if ponder didn't flat out put the ball on the ground with his man running wide open.

9/6/2014 3:06:24 AM

He threw the ball like 150 more times in 2010 from 2009 and only had 3 more picks, and rushed 40 more times for 9 TDs.

9/6/2014 7:41:15 AM

Man..that ECU game was fucking awful

9/6/2014 9:11:03 AM

^^yeah didn't TOB discourage him from scrambling his last year?

To briefly go back to my view on the last page's discussion:

Not only was Wilson's decision the best decision for him, it was also the best decision for NC State. If he had stayed here and Glennon had transferred we would have won more games that year, in my opinion, but we would have not played at a high enough level to make a case over FSU and Clemson for the Championship and Orange Bowl even with Wilson.

So we would have ended up with one NFL QB, Rivers, because Wilson likely would have gone as a undated free agent and possibly not even make the roster.

The reason we have 3 NFL QB right now is because of the decision Wilson made. Finally, the reason why Wilson has excelled in the NFL so far is because of the Seahawks organization. If he had been picked up by the Packers, Broncos, Ravens, Patriots or any team already with a franchise player at the position Wilson would be in the same spot as so many other good ABC QB who are now playing bavkup. He needed to find a team with a weak QB roster so he could take over and become a captain solely on his work effort. Even if he practiced better than someone like Aaron Rodgers, they'd never start Wilson so again he would have ended up on the bench.

As someone said, at the time this seemed like a terribly mishandled situation but the way it worked out was likely the best result for all parties. Yes we occasionally seem retarded right now but history will show that we put three NFL QBs in at the same time and all three performed at a high level (well, hopefully, Glennon still has some things to prove and Rivers needs the organization in San Diego to make the right moves to get them into championship contention -- he himself is definitely good enough).

9/6/2014 12:12:35 PM

Rivers will always be viewed as inferior to Rapethlisberger and Eli (2 rings each), Benedict Wilson will always be viewed as a Badger, and Glennon can't even beat out a fucking McCown.

and what do they all have in common? none of them could get more than 5 ACC wins.

9/6/2014 12:22:50 PM

Glennon beating out McCown is yet to bet seen. As soon as Lovie was hired and signed McCown he elevated McCown to the starting roll, without seeing each of them live. I thought it was a raw deal for Glennon who played pretty well as a rookie last year.

9/6/2014 2:28:07 PM

Mc Cow is like 35 years old. Love thinks he's the QB of the future!

10/7/2014 10:21:07 AM

He was doing some ridiculous shit last night. He's so god damn fluid when he's scrambling that it looks like he's in slow motion...yet defenders can't catch him. It's like he runs just fast enough to be out of their reach. The rest of the offense was like the three stooges last night and he was like Fred Astaire. NC State now has the two best QBs in the league right now (the way they are currently playing...obviously).

10/7/2014 10:46:14 AM

^ Manning and Luck are playing pretty damn stout right now too, but yes Rivers and RW are in the top 4.

10/7/2014 12:49:30 PM

^ i think he meant wilson and glennon.

Rivers and Wilson are #1 and #3 in QB ratings, respectively, at the moment.

10/7/2014 6:38:42 PM

How far did Wilson drop? Since he played like shit.

10/12/2014 10:04:16 PM

well his rating was a 47.6 today. think that drops him to around 99.8 on the season, which, if it was last week, would be around 4 spots lower...and still 7th overall. stats thru week 5 aren't up to date yet

Already have offers to buy it off me for twice what I paid, I got this cheaper than they paid in 2010.

10/30/2014 4:36:49 PM

did you know Russell is currently 15th in the NFL in rushing yards (#1 QB)

and if the season ended today, he'd have the 3rd highest single season YPC in NFL history

11/16/2014 11:08:09 AM

What's he in passing TDs, like 30th?

[Edited on November 16, 2014 at 11:26 AM. Reason : 4-way tie for 19th]

11/16/2014 11:25:47 AM

at 28.8 passing attempts per game, RW is last among QBs who have started 4 or more games this season

10.5 fewer attempts per game than Luck

11/16/2014 11:56:25 AM

If it wasn't for the Chargers royal fuck up last week, Rivers would still be the number 1 rated overall QB in the NFL.

Well the Chargers fuck up was actually 2 weeks ago, but wtf Seahawks...

Now the Chargers are already trying to open the door for a horrible Raiders team (0-9). Rivers is getting no pass protection and their DBs (Chargers) are playing like absolute shit.

11/16/2014 4:30:24 PM

is this the new Rivers thread?

11/16/2014 4:39:05 PM

Rivers will probably throw for at least 180 yards today, but he's not just a game manager like RW

11/16/2014 4:39:37 PM

Rivers just passed YA Tittle and Ben Roethlisberger into 19th all-time passing TDs

11/16/2014 4:41:32 PM

Russell's 34th win

most wins ever by a quarterback in his first 3 seasons

12/14/2014 10:56:56 PM

Seahawks are looking real strong. Could easily repeat.

12/14/2014 11:20:39 PM

They're gonna get knocked off by the Panthers in the wildcard round

12/14/2014 11:35:21 PM

nah, it's pretty much a given that the Seahawks will beat the Cards next week and win the division (and homefield throughout)
