Amongst many much more familiar accolades, it’s worth noting that in 2023, Russell Wilson led the AFC in TD% at 5.8 and led the NFL in 4QC with 4 as a Denver Bronco.

Thank You, Football.

Worth noting: a 10th place finish is still quite impressive. Especially for a second year quarterback.

We should talk about this. Perhaps on the air Thursday.

[Nick Ferguson @NickFerguson_25]

While it might be hard for some to digest. What @TomBrady is suggesting I’ve witnessed with some players over my decade long career. This idea doesn’t apply to every player, but it most definitely happens. FACTS! 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

Few things seem to irritate folks on this app more than another correct @AllbrightNFL prediction.

Cycle is always the same, predictable.

Ben calls something in advance = 🦗

Rush to move the goal posts and find one of his misses.

Ignore his objectively strong batting AVG.

[Benjamin Allbright @AllbrightNFL]

I kept my mouth shut on it, but there were several people that tried to crap on some Myles Garrett reporting I had earlier this year that should’ve known better.

Feel free to line those apologies up

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

@PolarBearWASH Cousins is quite underrated.

If you put together the decade data, I’d love to check it out.

Russell Wilson’s Decade of Dominance in Seattle

8/30/2023

By: @ryanmichael

Read: https://t.co/S6yilRAOI2

@ProFootballHOF | @Seahawks

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

@PolarBearWASH Well, his worst season was significantly better than Young’s best so far.

That was your comp and framing of choice, not mine.

Wilson produced a decade stretch with efficiency marks that often topped those of all-time great quarterbacks.

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

@PolarBearWASH Above average to elevate over the course of a decade = dominant, to me.

Can you find a comparable or more impressive 10-year stretch by anyone with comparable offensive support?

If you can, is said QB a Top-25 all-time great or lesser?

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

@PolarBearWASH Yes, that’s what ANY/A does. And ANY/A+ adjusts for era. Considerable advantage Wilson.

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

@PolarBearWASH His statistics were comfortably above average to elite every year from 2012-2021.

To have produced what he did on those rosters was nothing short of remarkable.

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

@PolarBearWASH Wilson (2016)

105 PR+, 106 ANY/A+

Young (2025)

94 PR+, 91 ANY/A+

Wilson was comfortably above-average and Young was comfortably below-average.

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

I’m very saddened to hear the news.

My thoughts and prayers are with Raymond’s family and friends at this time.

[Pro Football Hall of Fame @ProFootballHOF]

Pro Football Hall of Famer Raymond Berry, a key player in "The Greatest Game Ever Played," died Monday, May 25, his family said. A member of the Hall's Class of 1973, he was 93. https://t.co/qFEMSxqj5q

[Ryan Michael @ryanmichael]

I touched on 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Wilson was so dominant, even his least remarkable season (2016) was comfortably above average.

Relative to totality of support, it was one of the most dominant decade-stretches in the history of pro football.

I’d be more than willing to listen to the counter-argument.

@PolarBearWASH What specifically from the article do you disagree with?
