Too bad Borland couldn't end his NFL career the same way. #wimp

Also, Seattle wrs much like the defense and running game (in the past) bail him out. From his constant jump balls to even this year (jimmy graham 50 yard jump ball to Jimmy Graham's one handed long reception) and that inaccurate throw to a diving Baldwin. It's comical

There was some beef back and forth between Wilson haters and Wilson defenders.

It resembled some of our own QB threads.

Since the 49ers suck again this year, the only game i look forward to watching is the Seahawks because i'm hoping they lose!!!
loved watching the Panthers beat them in the playoffs last year!

@Andy_Benoit #Seahawks Film: Wilson's inclination when routes don't open quickly is still to move out of pocket...If you want Wilson throwing from pocket, you must use a quick, defined pass game.

To me this is why Wilson is still not a top QB (despite his fans saying contrary). Probably the best two sentences to describe Wilson's deficiency in his passing game.

Bevell is an underrated OC who gets Wilson a ton of great quick reads. If you pay attention, a majority of Wilson's completions are either very fast or those deep balls.

Or.....Wilson is out of the pocket and can make a play from out of the pocket.

But what happens when you take away the quick throw and stay disciplined?

You get Wilson unable to make a completion for the first quarter of the Super Bowl. I recall a few plays where Patriots couldn't get to Wilson for seemingly hours and it was still incomplete.

and yet . . .

From the pocket

The idea that Wilson can't operate from the pocket is tired and silly. In his first four seasons, he completed 67.8 percent of his passes (fifth), averaged 8.16 yards per attempt (first) and posted a passer rating of 105.9 (second) on throws from inside the pocket.

What's been different this year is how quickly he's gotten rid of the ball. Wilson's average time before a pass is 2.37 seconds, ninth fastest in the NFL. Last year, he showed the ability to do this in specific situations -- against the blitz and on third down. But Wilson still finished 32nd overall (2.67 seconds) because he's good at extending plays and scrambling.

This season, Wilson has completed 68.1 percent of his passes, averaged 8.35 yards per attempt and posted a passer rating of 102.0 from the pocket. The offense got off to a shaky start in Weeks 1 and 2, but the version we've seen the past two games looks similar to the one that averaged 32 points per contest in the second half of 2015.

Outside the pocket

This is the part of Wilson's game that has been affected the most. Last year, 20.7 percent of Wilson's throws were attempted while he was outside the pocket -- whether they were designed or he was improvising.

Through four games, that number is just 10.5 percent.

Wilson has compensated for his inability to improvise as much by allowing his weapons to make plays even when they're not necessarily open. Guys likeJimmy Graham, Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett and Paul Richardson have rewarded him by making difficult, contested catches. And this trust is something the Seahawks should benefit from even when Wilson is healthy.

Wilson looks great from the pocket when receivers are running wide open like they have been the last two games. First two games they weren't running wide open and he struggled. But of course the media spin is once again that the real Wilson is the guy throwing to the wide open receivers. Why do the playoff struggles not count? Why are the first two games the aberrations?

Eh.. more like there's a 49er fan among us that's too easily baited by a seahawk fan.

If you're looking for an honest answer ...

Only a fraction of his completed passes are to wide open receivers. You must've missed all of the back shoulder throws, deep throws that are laid right into the receivers hand in full stride, quick slants, catches in traffic. The first game against the Dolphins, the new OL was getting destroyed by Suh, Mario Williams, and Cameron Wake. Same for the second game again the Rams D-Line. Plus the high ankle sprain suffered when Suh stepped on his ankle was such an issue that Wilson took no snaps under center in the Rams game; every snap was from the shotgun to compensate for the ankle and folks were surprised he even played that game. The O-line has been much more stout the past two games and the first round draft choice starting right guard finally played his first against the Jets after suffering his own high ankle sprain. So even though Wilson is still lacking in mobility from the ankle and MCL sprain, he's gotten a semblance of a pocket at times the last two games.
