so having essentially the same stats every game
Did you miss the part where i said the stats are average? So never really looking good or never really looking bad for a long period of time is what I would consider a game manager. around 180 yards a game with around 55% completion and around 1 td a game. Not someone who averages over 200 a game with 2tds on 64% and over 100 QB rating in his first 3 NFL seasons. Because that isnt even freaking close to average

let's not say over 200 yards per game because 204/game is basically 200, which is very average. elite QBs are at 250-300 normally and 300-500 in great games.

You are right. But show me where those qbs extend as many plays and drives as WIlson does with his feet? My whole wilson thing started because of how lazy and simple minded sports fans are now. A qb that can move and doesnt throw ints? Game manager. Such a lazy arse way to describe Wilson. It is the same shite when people try to use the rings argument for who is a better football player. It is simple and easy to point at so people do it

I'm not saying he's not good. he just isn't asked to win the game by himself. he's asked to manage the game and let the strengths of the team carry them to the win. he can extend plays with his legs, but he's not like cam newton who is arguably their entire running game at times.

Neither is Manning, or Luck. they both have 21 teammates too


ETA: No team worth a shite will ever be just one player

You know which other QB moves around, is athletic, extends plays and doesn't throw interceptions? Aaron Rodgers. You don't see anybody calling him a game manager, do you? There is a reason why people think Russell Wilson is a game manager and not somebody that can quite carry the team on his QB play alone and today was an example of that. Accept it and move on.

Really? Then game 1 was an example Rodger cant do it either. And Brees showed he couldnt do it against the cowboys. And Manning showed he couldnt do it in the super bowl. Im fine for you to have an opinion but to use this one game is dumb as shite

no it isn't. game managers have great games sometimes
Well obviously, we're not speaking in absolutes. If you have a game manager, sure he can be great and then awful sometimes.

But you basically said he's inconsistent, that really is the opposite of a game manager.

so your definition of game manager is having the exact same stats every single game?
Again, nothing is absolute.

But I think the general definition of game manager is the guy who won't win you games or lose you games, for the most part.

You're basically saying he does both regularly, which makes him inconsistent.

And all of that is the complete opposite of the generally accepted definition of a game manager.

Like you said, nothing is absolute, so yes, his games fluctuate from time to time. Even though the saying is "he won't win you or lose you any games" it's not an absolute. He can and will win/lose games for you. You ask the game manager to win the game for you when the run game is being stopped. Sometimes the QB is up to the challenge, sometimes he's not. Having a few really great games doesn't make him an elite qb any more than having a few bad games makes Peyton Manning a shite qb

My personal opinion on whatever the definition of the mythical game manager is, an inconsistent QB would not qualify as a game manager.

Without reading the entire thing, let me guess the trajectory of this thread.

-At least 3-4 completely subjective arguments that relegate Wilson to be nothing more than a "game manager", whatever that means.

-Data is posted that directly refutes the above.

-People hopelessly cling to the "game manager" argument despite clear evidence to the contrary

-Thread dies a slow, embarrassing death until a new installment is presented next week.

Will be unreal if Wilson gets a win here. Would have wins over Manning, Rodgers, and Romo just this season. Unreal


No he wouldnt. He would have wins over the Broncos def, the Packers def, and the Cowboys def. I cant stand when people say shite like this.

well I was replying to that statement out of context, I don't think he's a game manager. But I hate the QB h2h crap.

Are you saying that since he is not as good as Aaron Rodgers, one of the best qbs in the league who will likely go to the HOF, he must be a game manager?
