IMHO, (and I’ve been saying this for a while now) Wilson is the best QB in football. ALL things considered; talent, leadership, maturity, intellect/reading defenses, mobility, AVAILABILITY, carrying teams with little talent to the postseason (obviously, not 2013), clutch, poised, great in inclement weather etc..I’ve watched him do great things over the past few years, especially after 2013. I haven’t seen Mahomes play with little/to no talent. He inherited everything, like a trust-fund kid (offensive talent, great coach, perfect system etc) NO KNOCK at all against Mahomes; he’s an EXCELLENT QB, I’d love to have him. It’s really amazing what Mahomes has been able to accomplished in such little time, while not FULLY understanding the game due to youth, but I’ve actually seen Wilson do all the things mentioned above for years now. He’s HIGHLY underrated!
I get where your heads at but I would argue Russ fell into a pretty incredible situation in Seattle himself, especially when compared to a peer like Cam Newton. Russ happened to have probably the best defense ever on the other side of the ball, where all he had to do was not screw it up for his first few years. Hand it off to Marshawn, throw some quick hits to Golden Tate with the occasional prayer to Doug Baldwin and let the legion of boom to the rest. The last few years Russ has looked like an MVP at times, and he very well might be MVP this year, but coming into the league with a historically great defense, a top RB and weapons like Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin, plus excellent coaching set Russ up to succeed.
This is purely hypothetical of course, but I think if you drop Mahomes, or even Cam, in 2012 Seattle with that defense and weapons and you’d see more than just one Super Bowl win.
