i've been thinking this for a while. Last season i posited that the Seattle Seahawks would never win a Super Bowl as long as they had Russell Wilson as a quarterback (QB). Their defense was that good last season. He is one of those players whose stats make him look better than he is. Somehow they get wins, but it never seems to be because of their offense (occasional deep-ish sideline passes and "free plays" notwithstanding).
Admittedly, i am not really a football fan. The Seattle Seahawks are kind of a hard team to watch (a decent/good defense and a less than thrilling offense.) They are not one of the teams who i think can come back from a deficit any greater than 3 points. Also, i have seen more Peyton Manning games in recent years (there is no comparison between Manning and Wilson as QBs - the only thing Wilson seems to do better is run).
i've never thought that Wilson was that good of a QB - every time i see Seahawks games he hasn't looked that good (especially as it relates to actually throwing the ball). In the games that i have seen, it seems he is lacking accuracy. His arm doesn't appear to be that strong either.
Take last year's playoffs for example (i have the Blu-ray of that). Most of those games were low scoring and the only reason they scored on several plays was the defense gave them such good field position. Still, it was frustrating to see how little they actually finished (touchdowns) in those games.
