The Wilson Blueprint

What they didn't really mention in the Wilson Blueprint is a dominant defense that creates turnovers and a functional special teams.
I just find the whole RGIII discussion tiring, as if there's something wrong with how he plays. He has two seasons under his belt. In the first, he had a MVP caliber season. In the 2nd, he had pedestrian stats, forgivable since he had a knee he shouldn't have been playing on and one of the worst defenses in the history of the organization. My point is, had the Seahawks drafted Griffin and the Skins drafter Wilson, right now we'd be talking about the Griffin Blueprint and how Wilson should be more like that.

Robert isn't durable enough to have him run, and his decision making when he does has been sketchy at best. Wilson has been fortunate, but it's only a matter of time before he gets hurts as well. The QB I think Wilson most resembles is McNabb. Great at keeping the play alive with his legs, but out of the league at 33 years old.

Funny before the knee injury it was the RG3 blueprint.

I think decision making, clutch and good teamate already has Wilson pass McNabb. Wilson should become a better passer.

No offense, but McNabb has never had the type of defense that Seattle is sporting. That accounts for a LOT. It's huge advantage. Wilson didn't need to take 1 snap in order to win the Super Bowl. Think about that. Didn't even need one offensive snap to win that game. Wilson is going to be good until the legs begin to go. (via age or injuries)

This. In fact, Seattle took a bunch of stuff from the Redskins that they use with Wilson. It's still not going to be a good long term plan.

Problem is Griffin is a pretty careless guy when he gets near contact. Some call it fearless, I call it careless. Wilson understands where the defense is at all times and slides at the end of all of his runs. Rarely takes a big shot. RG3 just doesn't.

So he either needs to learn that knack, or he needs to stay in the pocket. I'd prefer he learned the knack.

70.3 comp and 1 int...tells me he's decision making is probably top 3 in the league. He may not be throwing much, but when he does its he's executing at an extremely high level.

I agree that Wilson makes good decision, but is it fair to compare him with QBs like Luck, Rodgers, etc., etc. whose teams depend a lot on the passing game?

RW is in the MVP conversation. I dont think you handicap him for executing and winning. Sh*t, ask Peyton Manning what he thinks of RW.

Well...

Wilson took a couple of shots last night, but you're right. Wilson does a much better job at taking care of himself.

I'm just wondering if this has a lot to do with the expectation of each QB. The Seahawks didn't pick up Wilson to be the franchise QB, he just fell into the job. Everyone knows that for the most part, Seattle's strength lies on their defense and running game. Whereas RG3 is expected to be the franchise QB and in 2012 he was THE playmaker on the team (with Morris' help).
