And its the running game/time of possension and those QB's respective lack of turnovers that actually helped those defenses excel.

They had the same two QB's under center at the beginning of the year and now Seattle is 5-5 and SF is 3-7.
Wilson is .500 with the second best defense in the league and the most rushing yards per game in the league:
2015 NFL Team Total Stats - National Football League - ESPN
He has underperformed even after the team went out and acquired arguably the most difficult TE in the league to cover.
Kap has been benched because he is basically RGIII. The curtain was finally pulled down to reveal the real OZ.
Kirk is a game off Wilson with 24th ranked D and 25th ranked rushing yards per game.
I'm sticking with "propped up."
