Russell Wilson didn't have to beat anybody last year.

Have you watched both play and made a conclusion to which guy you want on your team?

Stats only tell part of the story. It's best to use a combination of "Moneyball" and "Scouts Eye" IMO.

Alex Smith is a mediocre game manager.

Russel Wilson is a dynamic game manager.

Those terms aren't things I can quantify so Ill concede that.

Numerically they're eerily similar and Alex was a muffed punt from going to the SB in San Fran and a joke defense from beating Indy last year.

Not getting into that muffed punt argument again.
That's just a dead end.

But let me know when Russel Wilson is as non productive on 3rd downs in big games as Alex Smith was in that one.

I can't do that. Football is a game that I literally can't just turn emotion on for a team.

Let me know when Smith has an actual OL and nfl talent at WR.

Read his post again dipshit.

ROFL right?

I'd guess the first playoff game vs NO last year where he turned in a 9-18 103 yard 0TD dud.

Chase Daniel is a less good version of Alex Smith, is anyone arguing otherwise?

is someone trying to argue that Alex Smith is the same as Russell Wilson as well ? Because that is reeruned.

There are two ways to look at it. One is that Alex Smith's QB rating is "only" a 93. The other is that his QB rating is somehow a 93 playing in front of one of the worst offensive line groups in the league.

I think we'd all agree that, statistics aside, last year Smith was quite a bit more effective when the offensive line was significantly better.

Daniel is definitely more willing to take risks with the ball and he is good at extending plays with his feet - that will work for a Sunday or two, but eventually you have to stand in the pocket and make multiple reads and execute throws when under pressure in the league if you are going to be a starter in the NFL.

I don't think Daniel's two starts show us that he can do that, obviously. It does show us that he is a quality, veteran backup and his job is probably secure with the team for the immediate future. I think he should be restructured to be more cap friendly, but he should be retained as our #2.

He needs to brush Smiff's nuts out of the way of his screen first.
