Smart game manager who does just enough to not let his team lose and the defense win? Or potential superstar 5,000 yard thrower? I like the kid.

"Game manager" is kind of misleading when your QB rating is 110.

He will never come close to this. He has three 300 yard games in his career. He is a fairly high ceiling game manager. He could be the Derek Jeter of football.

He's good but I wouldn't be surprised if Seattle doesn't give him 20 mil

Somewhere in between.

He's a very smart game manager that also has really nice athletic ability.

I don't think he's going to be Peyton Manning or Brees throwing for 5k plus yearly, but he's also not just a "game manager".

For what they run, he's pretty perfect.

pretty good QB.

has good escape ability.

throws a good deep ball in my opinion.

meh... they run the ball too much for him to throw for that much. Maybe he will some other season down the line but I don't think so this year.

There is something off about him. I'm not talking about anything regarding football. He's a great QB and I would love him on my team.

Him personally.

No one is that nice, perfect, and responsible all the time. He recently got a divorce and his wife signed a "confidentiality agreement" to not talk about their relationship or Russell at all. Its not just that, I just get a feeling something is off about him. No proof, no anything, just a gut feeling.


ETA:

I think he's going to get caught with a shemale or something.

His poise is amazing. He always knows exactly what he is doing when he's making a read down the field or tucking it and running.

I'd say he's a top 10 QB right now.

We will find out more when he has to actually lead put his team on his back. He is flaco right now. Just don't lose games and let ur defense and running game work.

potential superstar, if not already. He doesn't play in a scheme that will allow him the brees/brady/manning opportunities

He is great at moving around in the pocket

He senses the pressure behind him

throws the ball away and doesn't force it

is crazy unsackable

his acceleration is kind of nuts

when he runs, he looks down field. He puts so many defensive players in a bad spot when he starts moving

arm strength

quick decisions

I think he's the best player on that team.

He's a top 7 QB. He's efficient. "Game manager" isn't an insult, you have to be a "game manager".

Yes, his numbers haven't been amazing. But it isn't like he has top tier receivers. Harvin may be that now, but other than him he has a lot of "solid" receivers.

Manning has Thomas, Thomas, Welker, and Sanders.
Rodgers has Nelson and Cobb.
Luck has Wayne, Nicks, Hilton, and Fleener.

Just a few examples. Brees/Brady are in a similar situation. Both have a star TE, and then some "solid" receivers. They put up better numbers yes, but they're also big time veterans.

Will be a great QB. Throws a beautiful ball. Makes good decisions. Can read a defense and throw to the gaps, not just muscle it in when he sees an open receiver. Very smart runner.

Top 10 QB.

He will never throw it more than 20-25 times a game.


He makes high percentage passes. He isn't asked to do what the elites do. He's still good but he's nowhere near elite yet

There's only 4, maybe 5 or 6 guys in the league I wouldn't trade straight up for him.
