He wouldnot know it by the numb he put up this year. Russell wilson is totally different than brady athletically. , but his will to compelling comparison. Hes fast, got a great arm, creative, smart. Hes a tough player. Theres more than one way to build a franchise quarterback. He might not have his measurables, its his legs that set him apart. Very athletic, never takes his eyes off the field. We can make every throw on the field, he is very accurate. His good quarterback in the pocket, but when can move into a first down. Much like brady, wilson won a super bowl in his second nfl season. Its also reminiscent of the future hall of famer. For me the biggest gift is being able to see it and whether be on the move in the pocket, once he makes the match wilsons mobility, bradys Quick Release is what makes them. I would be like, dan, you have to hold the ball. Its good to see the ball get out. Russell wilson should present a pretty solid challenge for the Patriots Defense here tonight.
