5. I never liked Pete Caroll

Clearly he is a good coach, but he is also a cheater of the first order. He ran a crooked program at USC and got out of town just in time.

I'm sure many people cut corners in such a competitive business, but some people are just too cavalier about it for my liking.

I think Seattle is a much better match-up for Denver than the 49ers. Wilson won't hurt you. Kaepernick won't hurt you much with his arm, but he is really hard to contain as a runner. Wilson is much easier to contain. If Manning gets a lead, neither Wilson nor Kaepernick deals very well with that pressure.

The only way Seattle wins is if they force a bunch of turnovers and their defense scores at least one TD. As good as their defense is, that is all very possible, but I'll take Manning over any defense when it comes down to it.

Wilson posted an 8.6 YPA JonLP24 Jan 2014 #9

He is an average QB who benefits from a stellar defense BlueStreak Jan 2014 #10

If you notice, I don't talk about Seattle's W-L or defense or any of that JonLP24 Jan 2014 #15

Now Matt Ryan is a good example of winning games due to defense & running game JonLP24 Jan 2014 #16

I agree wiyth you about Ryan, but not about the importance of yards per pass BlueStreak Jan 2014 #20

How do you grade for those things unless you have miles of film? JonLP24 Jan 2014 #22

I wasn't addressing those questions specifically at Wilson. They are for all QBs. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #24

I've never said he was a bad QB. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #19

Seattle doesn't blitz all that much. Wounded Bear Jan 2014 #26

I wouldn't get too confortable in the Seattle defensive schemes BlueStreak Jan 2014 #27

Well... Wounded Bear Feb 2014 #28

Correct, but this isn't a typical match-up BlueStreak Feb 2014 #29
