No doubt it's a great luxury to have the running game and defense that Wilson has, but he's still a very good QB. He was 7th in passer rating this year, just ahead of Romo. He didn't have a very good game, but those were some pretty terrible weather conditions, and he made the play that basically won the game with that long completion to Baldwin on 3rd and long.

He had a 101.2 passer rating this year. Better than Romo. If you wanna put so much stock into passer ratings, then that would make Wilson better than Romo.

Please find a post where I have put stock into QB rating. I don't have many posts, so shouldn't be difficult.

As I said, Wilson is from my town. Played baseball with my nephew and I wish him much success. But if you think he would be the difference in Dallas with Garrett's system and this defense, then I just have to agree to disagree.

Threw for a whopping 103 yards yet his defense and running game showed up and the team won. He is now a "clutch postseason QB" I suppose.

I do like him, but that is exhibit A on why you can have grat defense and run game, but playprettymucha jag playoff game...yet get the W.

Romo's average rating when he's had no more than 25 attempts in a game is 111.6.

Wilson averages 25 attempts per game.

Soooo much easier to play with that team. Almost plug and play at QB the defense and run game are so dominant.

I like Wilson.

But today he sucked. He couldn't hit anything and kept missing the slants. He threw up a lollypop in the middle of the field and Harvin saved him. Luckily they have a beast.

Nothing personal. But Seattle's success is not solely due to Wilson's play. He is a cog in the machine as are all QBs. Some have better supporting cogs than others.
I getcha. I'm not one of those "all teams are equal except for the QB" people.

Harvin did save him on that play.

Definitely not Wilson's best showing, but it's ridiculous to base his entire career on his one game today, which his team won, btw. He didn't turn the ball over and did what he was asked to do.
