Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks.
4. Top Chef
Russell Wilson is the best QB in the NFL. Yeah, I said it. In other words, he’s better than Patrick Mahomes. Taking physical ability out of the equation (arm vs. legs), Wilson is a master of the other aspects of NFL football. He knows what to do on the field and when to do it.
12s know Carroll would love to run the ball and keep stuffing it down his opponent’s throat all day. Because Russ plays such a heads up game, he has earned head coach Pete Carroll’s trust. It’s not easy for the coach to loosen his grip on the offense, but he’s given Russ much more leeway to cook in his kitchen.
RW3 is about to enter rarefied air for the Seahawks organization. Sunday was the 18th time that Wilson threw for 300 or more yards in a game. He’s one game away from tying Matt Hasselbeck for the most in team history. It’s a record RW3 should own by the end of the month.
With two more scores through the air, Wilson is currently on pace to throw 64 touchdowns. That total would eclipse Hall of Famer Peyton Manning’s record of 55, set in 2013, by nine. Russ probably won’t throw that many touchdowns this year, but I’ll bet on him breaking the record. Sunday wasn’t his best day of 2020, but of his 34 pass attempts, he still threw two TDs. If Wilson keeps up that many attempts, expect it to rain touchdowns in the Emerald City.
CLUTCH. 🙌@travishomer4 gets the first touchdown reception of his career!
