Putting anyone in the same level as Brady is disrespectful.
Wilson same level as Rodgers and Mahomes.
Wilson has definitely developed into a much better QB than he was his first couple years. He just a knack for making plays at the right time. He's not the type of QB to put 30+ on you, but he does seem to always get the first downs and then make the plays when it matters. He's a new kind of a game manager type QB.
It's hard to asses him properly bc he's never had great weapons around him. One or two players at most, but never having a true elite WR or TE. They've always ran the ball well and played good defense.
I would put him in the top 10 easily though.
I agree, Wilson has improved from his first years in the league, but to put him at the same level with a QB that has been league MVP twice and led his team to a SB (not being carried by legendary defense and elite RB) and a QB that won MVP and SB in first 3 years is laughable.
Wilson is a boom or bust type quarterback. He will flounder for 3 quarters then all of a sudden will start scrambling once the fourth quarter rolls around, once the defense is tired to open up throwing lanes. Its like the same damn movie every time. Then you have all the Wilson nut huggers calling him a clutch QB, while ignoring the fact that he stunk it up for the first 3 1/2 qtrs lol He is not the prototypical QB like Rodgers and Mahomes that can shred you all four quarters from within the pocket. There is a reason Wilson usually struggles with 3rd down conversion because that is the money down for QB's (something Jimmy G has excelled in) Like i said, he is boom or bust.
I believe Carroll knows this and is the reason he leans heavily on the run game to move the ball more consistently throughout the game. Then once the defense is tired, he lets Wilson pass more....errrr mean scramble, so that his passing lanes open up and his reads are more defined.
