What a line of ****ing horse shit, and he's been exposed terribly because of his belief in this farce. Keep the "right 53," Scott, and I'll take the best 53 and beat your ****ing ass every single Sunday. I'm hopeful that the Pioli failure has caused us, collectively, to wise up; great teams need sizzle. |

Sure, they still turned out 1,000 yd backs, but not 1,700 and 2k yard backs like Davis was putting out there. I mean you're talking about the difference between a decent runningback (say Ahmad Bradshaw) and a great one (like AP). They would've still had a decent running game, but not an elite one. With a declining Elway and without Davis at the absolute apex of his game (again, we're talking about almost 1,900 yds/season in those 2 SB years), I don't think that team wins a SB. And in either event, if you think it was the Denver system that won them the SB, then is John Elway now a system QB? Regardless of how they got it, they do not win a SB without that running game. It wasn't that Elway suddenly learned to be a leader, it was that he was given the tools to win and was able to do so in the twilight of his career. Leadership is an after-acquired trait. We put the label on people after they win. Which tells me that it's largely mythical.

Gonna be hilarious when Geno destroys the combine, personal workouts, interviews, etc. and then all the "experts" will be on his nuts once again talking about how he was the #1 overall guy all along.
Kudos to Scott Wright, who has had Geno consistently at the top of his boards and has us taking him in his latest mock. This is such an easy selection for me...will be even more so come April. |

The guy had 21 TD's, 13 INT's and a 62% comp percentage with an OL that got him killed, no running game and only one good WR who even dropped several balls this year. Wilson will show his true talent when he has a level playing field. |

Afterall, when the team needs leadership most - road games - he's decidedly pedestrian. His Seahawks have a 3-5 road record. Is he less determined on the road? Does he show less heart? Of course not. No, Wilson isn't a shitty leader. Nor do I think he's ****ing General Patton out there. He reaches the threshhold level of leadership ability required to be a productive NFL quarterback. He's in that nice comfortable area between Montana and Cassel where you separate yourself on your talent. He has more talent than I thought because I was lazy and didn't watch him play enough last year. My bad. Stop drafting for leadership. Make sure your board is full of guys that rise above a Ryan Leaf level of ****off and actually care about football (which you can see by their play on the field), and select the one off that list with the most talent. It's not that hard to spot if you're willing to do the work to see it. Kiper doesn't do that anymore.

It's a risk worth taking. And if he fails, you dust yourself off and take the best one where you pick 2-3 years down the road.

I'll give Wilson the chance to change my mind - but it doesn't seem that likely. If he does it, it'll be because of his talent and not some bullshit, fairytale, lazy-ass psychoanalysis like "he has the heart of a champion." Wilson could turn me against my sweet babboo, there will be plenty of game tape online to look at between now and the draft, but I'll be looking at his feet in the face of the rush, his decisionmaking under pressure and his ability to throw under duress and through forced mechanics, not how well he slapped his lineman on the ass in the huddle.

That's the difference between Russell Wilson and clowns like Matt Stafford and Jay Cutler. I don't give a **** if they can throw the ball a mile or if they are built like an ox. I'll take a QB who has good but not great physical attributes with incredible intangibles over a QB who has incredible physical attributes and questionable intangles any day. |

Maybe that neck is telescopic, and he can "Go Go Glennon Neck", which allows him to see the field incredibly well...
