ORIGINAL: Rob Viking Wilson is like a rich man's Mark Sanchez to me. Sanchez was able to manage games and let his run game and defense do the rest. Wilson does much the same but he he's better on 3rd downs and avoids mistakes much much better than Sanchez. Plus the bonus of him running. Difference is Wilson's arrow is going up and no reason why it won't continue, the Seahawks looked great again last night and Percy can keep a defense off balance even with Ponder as QB. Plus the Seahawks have underrrated receivers, Baldwin, Kearse and Lockette are all very spry and make things happen after the catch, plus Miller is a underrated TE as well. Sanchez OTOH stagnated partly due to his supporting cast, coaching and his confidence being shattered by plays like the "butt fumble". I wouldn't be surprised if Sanchez can play just as well if not better than Foles if given the chance. Wow. Wilson compares to a guy that's a 55% passer, throws as many picks as TDs and falls apart under pressure? I know you think Luck is the greatest thing ever, but damn... Did he really fall apart under pressure when he wasn't told to do too much vs the Colts, Pats and Chargers in the playoffs? IMO they've been both brought up to manage the games and not lose them and make the odd big play off play action. Wilson has taken that to the next level and executed more like Big Ben did during his early years with stat lines like 13/15 180 yds 2 TDs 0INT. Wilson is primed to take next step no doubt and I have no doubt he will be very good to great, he has great intangibles like leadership and his football IQ is very high. I just don't think he's the second coming yet, his situation is more than favorable, just like it was for Sanchez early on and Big Ben as well.
