I’m sure the guy is dying to come play in the offense that threw the fewest passes of any team this year.

Theilen has 113 receptions on the year for 1373 yards. Tyler Lockett was Seattle’s top receiver this year with 57 receptions for 965 yards. Cousins had as many completions as Wilson had attempts, and a better completion percentage.

I’m gonna guess that the dude who makes his living catching passes wants to play for a team that throws them.

Adam Thielen runs a great 7 yard curl on 3rd and 11

I was making a joke how Cousins is a bad QB, dude. I'm fully aware that we'd need to remove Schotty in order to let Russ be Russ.

Cousins wasn’t a bad QB though? FO has him ranked 13th in passing DYAR, just two places behind Wilson at 11th, despite having a worse line and being asked to pass 50% more.

You know DYAR takes opponent strength into account right? And that “record against .500” teams is an insanely stupid metric to judge a single player by?

Cousins played much better defenses on average, with a worse offensive line and a bottom 3 run game.

I’m not sure I agree that his receivers are much better, but I’m also not sure what your point is. Cousins was fine this year. Not great, but he definitely wasn’t bad.

Nah, Mariota sucks, Cousins is alright. Not as good as Wilson, but he’s fine. Certainly not bad enough that Theilen would want to jump ship to Seattle so he can run block a bunch more.

Idk but I do know Wilson plays at an elite level almost every game for years against any team and cousins tops out at alright when playing bad teams

Wilson is very good but his team still went 2-5 vs teams above .500 vs Cousins 1-6 mark. Takes more than a good QB to win games against good teams. And often good teams have good defenses, against which QBs do worse.

Cousins didn’t have a single game all season as bad as Wilson’s was against Minnesota, but Seattle still comfortably won.

If you think dinking and dunking to 300 yards then scoring a td or 2 in garbage time isnt horrible then I don't know what to say. Every time he faced a good defense they knew he couldn't beat him and let him do his thing knowing he wouldn't score because he sucks

On that note, Go R- Go-R Go-R Go Rams. God that was more difficult that I thought. Just deny Brady his sixth ring so I can go back to hating your team like usual. If Brady wins, though, I don't wanna hear "passing it on the one yard line" jokes every again.

I mean in the nebulous vacuum of just how quality we think they are.

Like Russell has Schotty and Rodgers has McCarthy, so what they actually produce on the field varies but they are incredible.

A top 3 QB should be able to transcend their circumstances in the style of Manning or Rodgers. Wilson has yet to do this.

Rogers has yet to win a second SB and it took Peyton ten years to win his second SB while his brother won two in five years. Football is a team sport and sometimes all the talent in the world can't make up for things like bad coaching or lack of weapons.

The tendency of some Seahawks fans to ignore Doug Baldwin in order to puff up Russell Wilson is always a bit surprising.

Doug Baldwin is also very good. Russell Wilson is probably top 5, maybe top 3 could possibly be argued.
But other than those 2 and Lockett, the offense was pretty meh this year and Schotty is garbage partly disguised by Wilson having a magical ability to get out of 3rd and long situations.

I didn’t mean win a Super Bowl when I said “transcend their circumstances,” I meant not be outside the top 10 in various metrics like Wilson’s 2018 season. Hence my very particular use of Manning and Rodgers as examples of this.
