Russell Wilson Named Starting QB

[Yakka27]

IMO Russell will be very productive as a Starting QB. I've never seen a glimpse of emotion from him, I don't think he'll be fazed or under any pressure.

He'll out perform Tannehill and Weeden.

I also named him starter in my XBOXLIVE madden league. But I did that last week

Man he looks good so far.

Like I said in another thread, I hope Pete got this right. He's going to get fired with all of this "musical QB" foolishness. Good Luck to Wilson.

WOW

Not that I'm surprised that Wilson is starting. But that Carroll has the stones to actually go this route after signing Flynn

BRAVE move. Here's the thing, we've all been through this with Orton and Tebow

If we'd have started Tebow and for whatever reason had to get back to Orton, it would be considered a failed experiment. However the way we did it, had Orton start, Orton failed on his own, then Fox kinda had the green light to make the switch

Of course I believe Flynn is no Orton. I think Flynn is every bit the QB the SeaHawks thought they were buying. Kid is good. It's just that Wilson is such a threat. Let's hope Wilson doesn't fail to keep the job.

And where will Flynn end up? Kansas CIty?

I wanted Wilson so bad before the draft.. I'm not hating on Oz but I'm really bummed we didn't draft Wilon. Especially now... Good for Wilson though!

[canadiansbronco]

that's a bold move i know the kid looked great but you are gonna have 20 million dollar man on the bench, it better pan out...

[getlynched47]

Wilson deserves it. I'll be rooting for him.

[BroncoFanBoy]

I'm rooting for him, but I wonder what they'll do with Matt Flynn. 20 mil to sit on the bench. No team will take that contract, even if Flynn becomes their starter.

I liked him, too, but this way he can play. If Denver had drafted him instead of Osweiler, he'd be behind Manning.

Now the 49ers have intradivisional competition.

Good for RW... He played well out there so he really deserves it.

[Denver Mike]

Hrrrmm...

I'm still callin' it. RW is the starter in Seattle but now they have an extra potential franchise qb with a lot of youth..


Jags know they need a QB in all the worst ways.. MJD and Marshawn Lynch would be a deadly duo..

===============

Either that or Arizona will overpay for him

his salar is nothing compared to good QBs, if a team thinks hell be a good starter theyll easily pick up 5 mil a year

[EvertonBroncos]

I can get behind him, fully deserves the starting job, has been like a house on fire during pre-season. Good on you RW

[samparnell]

Russell Wilson during Preseason 2012 is the definition of "tearing it up"!
