If only Sidney Rice didn't spend half of every season being injured...

Living in the Seattle-Tacoma area, I was listening to the radio today and alot of talk was about RW.

All the guys talking were crediting Wisconsin for his success and it made me want to scream (and a few times I did in the car).

One guy on the radio finally brought up that he was at NC State for three years before he went to Wisconsin, couldn't figure out why he transferred, and came up with some weak reason for it.

It made me mad at the ignorance, but I'm glad he's getting some cred.

8/25/2012 2:30:21 AM

he was here 4 years.

Also we need to tell ESPN to update their college information: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/14881/russell-wilson

LOVE this write up on rotoworld.com

Quote :

"Russell Wilson completed 13-of-19 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns and rushed twice for 58 yards in Friday night's preseason start against Kansas City. Wilson led an all-out assault on Kansas City's first-team defense, engineering six scores (three FGs, three TDs) on his first six drives. He wound up playing seven possessions, the seventh ending on a 51-yard missed field goal. Wilson continued his August magic and has almost certainly won Seattle's starting job over Matt Flynn, who didn't dress for the game due to a sore elbow. Through three preseason games, Wilson is 35-of-52 (67.3 percent) for 464 yards (8.92 YPA), five touchdowns, and one interception. He's rushed 10 times for 150 yards and a sixth score. Wilson certainly has high-upside QB2 potential for the regular season. If you bet against the guy, chances are you're going to lose."

Love that he is tearing it up and proving all the haters such as TOB wrong.

This is also yet another example of how unscientific coaches and scouts are in evaluating talent. Instead of looking at results, they look at orthogonal things such as height and rely on really poor evidence and old wives tales to guide their decisions.

Glennon had far more balls batted down last year than Wilson. Height is meaningless. Rivers doesn't have many balls batted down with his low release, either. Just look at results.

Great QBs are great because they learned to overcome whatever limits they might have had, and they produce great results. The result is more important than the process. Loser coaches don't believe this.

Humble troll.

TOB is going to look like a genius if Glennon gets a position in the NFL. "I had to choose between two nfl quarterbacks and I chose BOTH."

8/25/2012 8:55:41 AM

^^^ that sort of stupid bullshit should get somebody suspended. At least if you're going to say retarded things be amusing. That's just fucking stupid.

8/25/2012 9:01:46 AM

LOL, unless Glennon blows up this year its clear TOB made the wrong decision. RW was way better last year.

Get used to it, I bet he only says Wisconsin during his SNF/MNF intro.

8/25/2012 10:01:50 AM

NC State is in a better position this season after the TOB decision

^he's said in some instances that he might say "Wolfbadger"

TOB hates russell wilson so much he made him start as a freshman!

8/25/2012 11:00:45 AM

He got a concussion as a freshman because TOB told him to try to take hits helmet to helmet. That's how much TOB hates Russell Wilson.

8/25/2012 11:06:12 AM

on SNF/MNF Football he should say "Russell Wilson, Colorado Rockies"

8/25/2012 11:25:16 AM

^^

He needed a way to get Harrison Beck out there to GRIP IT AND RIP IT.

8/25/2012 11:41:05 AM

If TOB hadn't made the decision, Manny Stocker would be starting and Glennon probably blowing it up at a big school.

Really wish Hard Knocks would have been seattle this year.

8/25/2012 2:11:08 PM

yea seriously. who the fuck cares about Miami

8/25/2012 2:11:47 PM

if TOB had actually started Wilson as a freshman instead of the Evans/Beck/Burke shitshow we wouldnt have this problem

8/25/2012 2:34:14 PM

Jesus at the trolling in this thread.....

8/25/2012 6:09:37 PM

just to be clear...i wasn't trolling. i don't care for the way he left and think everyone who still trips balls over him is retarded

8/25/2012 6:12:33 PM

[Edited on August 25, 2012 at 6:37 PM. Reason : why doesn't Glennon have one of these]

8/25/2012 6:36:52 PM

what do you mean

that's actual footage caught on gif

8/25/2012 6:40:10 PM

Wilson has been amazing but Flynn still best bet at QB

i love how he compares russell's preseason stats to matt flynn's stats in two starts on an entirely different team and situation.

exactly. if TOB hadn't told wilson to drop baseball or GTFO, glennon would have been the one playing in wisconsin last year (and this year).

8/26/2012 12:35:28 PM

Wrote to ESPN about changing Russell Wilson's listed college to NC State.

One great team or two Blah ones. Easy decision for most people.

8/26/2012 1:12:30 PM

yes, because at the time TOB had to make a decision in order to prevent glennon from leaving, he knew russell wilson was going to quit baseball.

8/26/2012 1:14:57 PM

YOU PEOPLE

8/26/2012 1:20:25 PM

thank you for posting that extremely informative, non-template of an email

8/26/2012 1:21:22 PM

face's algorithm doesn't include a metric for future bluechip QB recruits refusing to sign for State since the coach will sit them on the bench for 4 years until they transfer

8/26/2012 1:21:24 PM

Yeah no qb recruit would ever come here again if we had a successful season and put our 2nd qb in the NFL.

8/26/2012 1:23:42 PM

we'd sign one QB every 4 years, no chance of signing one in the middle years unless they wanted to sit on the bench until they were a RS senior

8/26/2012 1:28:57 PM

Problem I have with people saying that Flynn should start is that he was fairly mediocre in his preseason games, the only direct comparison we have between the two.

8/26/2012 1:29:30 PM

pretty sure wilson is gonna start. The guy is the future face of the franchise. No reason to sit him behind a career backup like Flynn.

the plan worked!!! buying him a lion has succeeded!

8/26/2012 10:00:39 PM

Awesome. I remember all the cunt stains being butt hurt in a RW thread a year ago saying he'd never make it in the NFL because he was too small. Pointed out he was Breeze's size and he would start. Was called retarded. Fuck you fuckers, I was right, suck my ass, ALL RUSSELL WILSON EVERYTHING

8/26/2012 10:04:28 PM

not good enough to start at nc state
