Seahawk fans and sports radio had serious questions about Wilson 10 games through his rookie year. One famous area football guru swore that Russ would never be a decent NFL quarterback. Of course 6 regular season and a couple of playoff games later that was no longer a question and said football guru stills gets ribbed for it today.

Whoa, you aren't saying that Murray is on a 'bad streak' are you?

I was referring to Jared Goff. There are 16 games of nearly continuous poor play over two separate seasons.

The Jared Goff we have seen this year is the real Jared Goff. Once teams figured out how to attack him within McVeys offense, Goff has crumbled.

can we not with this comparison yet, please?

wilson right off the bat was showing the end of game "clutchness" that really helped push a 7-9 team to a 11-5 and won a playoff game and was within 31 seconds of taking that team to the NFC Title Game throwing for 385 yard 2TD/1 pick while rushing for 60 yards and a TD performance on the road against the 1 seed Falcons where he led them on a last minute drive to take a 28-27 lead with 31 seconds to go. And yes, as noted he had a very good defense and running back with him, but Wilson was the steady hand at QB that elevated a mediocre team previous to him getting there into one of the league's elite immediately.

Kyler has shown a little of that end game clutchness (Detroit, Cincy, Atlanta), but also shown he can be in meltdown mode as well in the Baltimore, Carolina and last week's head-scratching two-minute drill slog. I just need to see more of that and at least a little more effect on the W/L column before we go mentioning these guys in the same breath.
Sorry but Wilson also had a defense that could more than meet him halfway on closing out games...
