Remember when people said that Russell Wilson was just a game manager? Early in his career, that was a constant criticism of Wilson. He didn’t throw enough passes. He didn’t throw enough touchdowns. He just wasn’t elite. When you have the second-highest career passer rating in NFL history, you’re more than a game manager. Wilson the “game manager” is currently off to the best start of his career.
You can still see misguided statements like this article, published just before the Seahawks obliterated the Broncos in the Super Bowl. The author confused aggregate stats, such as 5,000 yards passing, with excellence.
