Don't know what QB you're looking at. Wilson has 10 TD's and 8 INT's.

A spankin' brand new rookie right out of the box, I'd be proud of myself too.

Then why sign Flynn to the huge contract?

Flynn was signed to a 3 year, 19.5 million contract a month before the 2012 Draft. Roughly 8m of it is guaranteed money frontloaded into the contract.

He was drafted 209th in 2008. He had a win against Detroit and a close loss against New England.

Wilson was drafted 75th in 2012. He had a win against New England, and a close loss against Detroit (which is a game the Seattle Defense lost.)

Wilson was drafted because John Schneider tends to go for "best value" - and they had Wilson graded as a late 2nd round prospect. They were astonished he'd be there at the 3rd round.

It was expected that Flynn would win the starting job through most of August, that Wilson would replace Tarvaris Jackson, and have a season or two behind Flynn. He then exceeded expectations.

Of Wilson's INTs, there's something that's worth noting: Four of them were interceptions where his receiver had their hands on the ball before the DB grabbed them away. Two were interceptions where he was throwing with a defensive lineman holding his jersey. One was a complete freak accident. One was clearly a case of the DB understanding the play and knowing exactly how to execute the pick.

Wilson is showing good judgement, nice touch, and good ball placement and accuracy. Will he be better than RGIII or Andrew Luck? No. Will he be in the top 10 starting QBs? Maybe not this year - but he could be next year. I'd still take him over Tony Romo this season, for example. Or Carson Palmer.

And from whom did you quote this, or are you Russell's press agent?

In Like Flynn!!!

This a symptom of a bigger problem down the road. (Bet Pete would trade Wilson in a minute for a chance at Barkley.)

Russell may dislocate his throwing arm patting himself on the back...

I thought this existential approach to self evaluation went out in the 70s along with Disco and was replaced with phenomenology and religious existentialism ( see Tim Tebow).

I have watched every game and Wilson's numbers would be much better were his so called "receivers" could catch the ball that he has regularly put into play for them. Frustrating!

"Will he be better than RGIII or Andrew Luck?" I say as good or better. I hear that he is one of the hardest working players on the team and I believe that he could be one of the best things to happen to the Seahawks in a long time.

The guy is an opportunist. He just happened to be able to use the 4 year eligibility rule to get in the door at Wisconsin and joined a very good team in progress. Ditto, Seattle. I hear he ass kissed the coach and got the players on his side to move Flynn out of the way. Seattle would be a good team without Wilson. They have all the elements in place.
