San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Don't call me Shirley! I wasn't calling you Shirley, I was merely insinuating it!
Coach Tuesday Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 I REALLY like Wilson, but after watching him closely the past few weeks, he really holds the ball too long. He'll need to get past that if he's gonna be successful.
Thirty Year Fan Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Love him hate him... He is FLUTIE part DEUX...... +1
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 He's been a monster at home, but he is on a team that averages 4 less points than the Bills. The Seahawks have scored 30 points once this season. The Bills have scored 30+ twice and lost. I know we have to hate Fitz but Wilson would have zero difference on our season. It's all about Seattle's defense and our lack of one. Long term, Wilson's ceiling is higher but not this season.
Sisyphean Bills Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 At the time this thread started, there was some talk about the Wilson pick vs. the TJ Graham pick. In hindsight at this point, it's pretty clear which of those two players is having a bigger impact. It isn't even debatable, really.

And having Wilson would have meant no TJ to run the wrong route.
H2o Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I'm lamenting we didn't trade up for Tannehill who will throw 4 TDs against us, when we play.
prissythecat Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Maybe there is a diferent definition for TDs in this case.

While we will never know if Wilson would've made a difference in our season, going forward, he could have made a big difference in our future. I think he's going to get better and better. Maybe not elite status, but a very good QB and a great role model/leader
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Its like they made this guy up or genetically engineered an athlete. I mean Russell Wilson? Is his middle name Spaulding or Franklin?

Beerball Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 While Wilson is starting at QB for Seattle, it's fairly evident that he will never be an elite QB. To those of you who keep complaining that we didn't draft him: Graham has been very solid with his targets, struggling mainly with balls thrown far out of his reach. I don't think Fitz will win us games, but Wilson's limitations due to his height, combined with other problems in his game, mean that he will be a bottom 10 QB in the league. Is it impressive that he is starting as a rookie over a big-budget free agent signing in Flynn? Yes, but that doesn't mean that Wilson has what it takes to lead a team in a deep playoff run. I do lament the fact that we picked Dalton over Williams, though, especially given the fact that we hadn't made such a commitment to Fitzpatrick at that time. Looked pretty good again today. Still prefer what we have at QB and WR over Wilson?
ny33 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Posted December 2, 2012 Looked pretty good again today. Still prefer what we have at QB and WR over Wilson? I don't prefer them. Nor did I say he won't be good, but rather not elite and probably not worth drafting. At this point, though, I take that back. He's a player.

He appears to have the IT factor (how far that takes him I have no idea).

He appears to have the IT factor (how far that takes him I have no idea). He'll be a long-term starter, definitely. As for our game vs. Seattle, I hope Browner and Sherman are out. It's a bad matchup for us.

Those two, IMHO, are the best CB tandem in the league right now. If they get suspended on roid charges, the Bills have a shot. With them in the backfield, I don't see much opportunity for Stevie, Donald or TJ to make much of an impact
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I'm not sure what Russell Wilson's ceiling is but I think he has a nice high floor. Once he seasons, he's not gonna lose many games with errors and I think he'll pull out more wins than most QBs under adverse conditions. Elite? Probably not but not out of question either. But a good solid pro who can win? IMO, yes.
Maury Ballstein Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Missed the game today heard TJ had a nice grab. But yes to Russell Wilson on pace for playoffs keeping plays alive.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 A Matt Schaub type of starter? As you know, stylistically not but functionally? Absolutely.
