Russell Wilson wins NFC offensive player of the week again

Russell Wilson won the NFC player of the week award for his week three performance against the Cowboys.

How good has Russell Wilson become? In the ninth year of his career, he is even better than before. He has 14 touchdown passes through three games which is a new NFL record. Wilson has thrown one interception and that was tight end Greg Olsen’s fault. On Wednesday, Wilson was announced as the NFC offensive player of the week for the second time in three games.

And the funny thing was that Wilson wasn’t even at his best against the Cowboys in Seattle’s 38-31 victory. Sure, he threw for five touchdowns and had a quarterback rating was 130.7 (by the way, that number is how lowest of his season so far), but there were several throws that Wilson underthrew to mid-range receivers. At one point in the game, it seemed like Wilson was actually struggling with his accuracy.

This is how good Russell Wilson has become. Even when he appears to be not at his best he is still better than your favorite team’s quarterback. Wilson at the level he is playing now is capable of leading the Seahawks to the Super Bowl with or without a defense that is very good.

Russell Wilson in week four

This Sunday Russell Wilson and the Seahawks will play the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins defense isn’t very good and all of the Seahawks wideouts and tight ends are healthy so there is no reason can’t put up another four touchdown passes.

Again, this is how good Russell Wilson has become. Expecting a quarterback to regularly throw for 4 touchdowns in a game is a little unfair. But Wilson has done that in all three games so far and isn’t far-fetched to think he will do it again in week four and probably for another Seattle victory.
