I'm not going to get into the "elite" conversation because that is a nothing, throwaway word that has no value. However, anyone that really doesn't think Wilson is a great QB has never watched him.
It's easy to boil down three years worth of starts into his shit game yesterday, and many of you are trying your damndest to do so. But that's a ridiculous position to take.
Nobody can ever actually give me a fault in Wilson's game. It's always talking about Lynch or the defense, like that somehow makes him less of a QB. Yes, obviously those things help him. I'm not denying that. Having a great RB and defense is going to open the game up for him. But to act like that's the only thing that makes him good is asinine. How many great defenses are there, where we go, "If only they had a QB." If it were as simple as good defense = good QB, the Bills would be in the SB right now with Orton at the helm. Let's not forget that Tarvaris Jackson largely had the same squad Wilson did, and he went 7-9.
Also, fucking lol at comparing Wilson to Kapernick. I'm seriously doubting if you have ever watched Wilson play besides yesterday. And this is coming from a guy who actually likes Kaep.
Let's not forget that Wilson's receiving corps is a big bag of dicks. They can make big plays, but none of them demand extra coverage or anything. He's never had anything close to a true number one.
I'll never understand how people judge QBs. They chastise guys who have good regular seasons but can't win "big" games (Ryan, Stafford, Dalton, Romo, P. Manning), but then claim that guys who do win only do it because their team is good (Wilson, Roethlisberger, E. Manning, Dilfer).
I'll end with this. No QB has ever won with a bad team around him. Montana had greatness, Bradshaw had greatness, so did Starr and Aikman. All those guys who won multiple championships did so with great surrounding casts. If your only criticism of Wilson is that he is surrounded by greatness, go home. You have no argument.
