Seattle fans know what they have in their starting quarterback despite the Seahawks signal-caller yet to receive any MVP recognition.
With the start of the NFL regular season inching closer despite the coronavirus pandemic, Sean Wagner-McGough of CBS Sports took a look at all the quarterbacks around the league and put together his list of the top-10 QBs heading into 2020.
Wilson landed at No. 3 in his rankings.
“No quarterback continually does more with less than Wilson,” Wagner-McGough writes. “If he had the benefit of playing for, say, Andy Reid in Kansas City, he’d probably find himself atop this list. Instead, he remains in Seattle with Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer, who seem hellbent on #EstablishingTheRun, much to Wilson’s detriment. That said, Wilson continually makes it work. At this point in his career, he’s one of the three best quarterbacks (and the best deep-ball thrower) in football.”
Only Ravens’ Lamar Jackson (No. 2) and Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes beat out Wilson on Wagner-McGough’s list.
“But above all else, it comes down to Wilson’s consistency,” he continues. “He’s almost always one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Don’t expect that to change out of nowhere.”
