MiltonWaddams Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It’s only bragging if it’s not true, and he’s got an excellent case on that claim.

eball Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 When the topic of Russ comes up I always feel sorry for Buddy Nix because he definitely liked Wilson, he simply miscalculated when he would be available. Goes to show if you believe in a QB you never wait. I’m glad the Bills went after Josh and got him. 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It's between him and Mahomes but I think he could be argued as better simply cause of the limitations of what he works with...

PetermansRedemption Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I put Russ 2nd behind Mahomes, but it’s closer that most casual fans think IMO. There’s actually a really strong QB crop in the NFL right now with Mahomes, Wilson, Jackson, Rodgers, Brees, and (homer alert) Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I'm a big RW fan and I know a good mechanic never blames his tools and I hate using this overused narrative but, think about who has what. Mahomes as a phenomenal talent that he is he has uber offensive talent all around him. Hill, Kelce, Watkins, Edwards-Helaire, Williams, Hardman and Robinson. Wilson has Carson, Lockett, Metcalf, Dorsett, Olsen, Hyde. Not horrible but definitely a few pegs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Put Wilson in the Chiefs offensive system and he'd pry be just as effective. Maybe even more because he's a better scrambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 He should feel that way. And he can make a damn good argument why it’s true. I would still take Mahomes, but he’s my next choice. That dude can do everything. And he’s a winner; always was. Never understood why teams overlooked all of his skills because of his height. He never had issues getting the ball out in college. Kyler Murray should send him a gold watch or something as a thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Johnnycage46 said: What is your argument against him? I feel like his star has slightly faded since their SB window, in view of the strength of the young guns coming up as well as the staying power of the class before him; make no mistake, he’s top tier, but to say there’s no doubt that he’s the best? Win the MVP this year and I think your case is stronger, imho. I would put both Mahomes and still Rodgers above him, at the very least. And as a pure passer, Brees is still there too—then Wilson with a healthy Big Ben right behind him—then the rest of the young guns like Jackson and Allen who I think will be challenging for the title within the next couple years at current trajectories.

CEN-CAL17 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Statistics say he’s been one of the best deep ball throwers in the league... it’s hard to put anyone ahead of Mahomes right now.... but top 3 is a good argument to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
