Russell Wilson may be the best QB in the NFL when under pressure, which he is way too often

As part of a continuing series looking at the quarterback statistics published by Football Outsiders over the offseason, the topic at hand today is performance under pressure. This series includes topics such as play-action splits, which have not been released yet for 2016, passing plus-minus, which I previously discussed here, and pressure stats, the topic of this article. As I mentioned last time, the usefulness of these stats is that they use their tracking data to provide context to each quarterback’s performance. For example, play action splits describe how often quarterbacks utilize play action passes and how they perform when using play action relative to when they do not.
