Chiefs If we had drafted Russell Wilson... - Page 5

**Rain Man** · 01-07-2013, 10:07 AM

...and if we still had the first pick, would you still take a quarterback with that first pick?

Just curious. I haven't seen enough of Wilson to make a long-term call yet. From a statistical standpoint it seemed like the team was protecting him a lot earlier in the year, but anecdotally it seemed like he improved as the year progressed.

Time will tell but Wilson looks relatively durable to me. A little thicker than RG3 and seems to be able to take a hit.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Stanzi at no point in the preseason ever showed anything that makes me think he can play at this level. Quite the contrary. He looked atrocious. And it stands to reason as Pioli drafted him.

His lack of height actually helps him here as well.

I've watched every Seahawk game this year. For the most part Wilson is much smarter about sliding and getting OOB than Griffin is. I've seen him slide multiple times short of the first yard marker in games where Seattle had a decent lead. IMO, he played a bit more reckless against Washington than he did during the regular season. He may last in the NFL because of his awareness of when NOT to risk a hit.

But if we had him and he played the same, we would not have been 2-14

I find myself actually agreeing with this which invalidates a Rain Man poll. Is that a sign of the end of days?

If you think that a Russell Wilson scenario ending at 2-14 isn't possible, then assume that we went 10-6 and then traded Matt Cassel for the #1 pick in the draft. Pro Bowl quarterbacks don't go on the trading block very often, and they draw a premium.

Donald Stephenson @Don59Wayne
Even my best friend thinks so smh. RT @Riley816: If the chiefs woulda drafted Wilson instead of Donald that woulda been dope.

It doesn't work that way.

It's not Seattle-Wilson+Chiefs='s playoffs.

If Wilson is drafted by the Chiefs...what maybe 2 more wins? Maybe 2 less....

I like the kid, but he's running a make-shift college offense because he can't grasp a full NFL swinging dick offense.
