Russell Wilson On Verge Of His Most Explosive Season Yet: Seahawks 2017

Russell Wilson, in my opinion is the best QB in the NFL when it comes to versatility and the ability to handle pressure(with his running ability, proven unlike the RGIII’s and Kaepernicks who were one hit wonders). The biggest downfall in Seattle, is poor to average offensive line play. He can make a poor line look average and an average line look elite. The bad part is the Seahawks have never really had a great offensive line in front of Wilson. Thankfully, Russell’s experience will prove to be a huge factor in the upcoming season, with what I believe to be an improved O-line and running back core. The running game is key and now that they have it, he is on the verge of his best year ever. John Clayton breaks down the Seahawks Russell Wilson beautifully in this article.

If Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise can get the Seahawks’ running game back on track, Wilson’s numbers will soar. They were already better than people think. In the second half of the 2015 season, Wilson was one of the best pocket passers in football. He got rid of the ball quickly and he made big plays. As a result, he finished with a 68.1 completion percentage and threw for 34 touchdowns, both career-highs. Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com had an interesting story the other day about his projections for the Seahawks’ running game. He wrote that Seattle’s running backs averaged 25.1 attempts a game from 2012 to 2015. Last year, that average was down to 19.3. If the Seahawks get back to 25 rushing attempts per game, Kapadia predicts that Lacy would get around 15 of them, with Prosise and Rawls sharing the other 10.
