(29,699 posts)12 ABs(?) wouldn't have the same exact numbers as Wilson. QBs such as Alex Smith, Geno Smith, Keenum/Schaub, and Dalton all play for teams with great defenses & solid running games and they were nowhere close.
Does he deserve credit for it? If not it brings it a little over 6.8 which is almost in the good range. It is funny that he posts great numbers against top 10 defenses in San Francisco (3 times), Arizona, Carolina, and New Orleans but won't be successful against #15 (Denver). Though Denver's D is playing much better this post-season, Wilson has plenty of experience against the toughest pass defenses there is.
Any number you look at for Wilson he excels. He has the highest completion percentage of throws greater than 15 of anyone that played 14 games (he played 18). The leader is Fols by .7% and he played 14. Any number that values yards/attempts TDs-ints puts him in the top 10.
If it is only because of defense and rushing why is he better than Dalton by .92? Why hasn't Flacco ever came close despite having Ray Rice and Lewis, Suggs, Reed?
I put Wilson & Kaepernick in or around the top 10 like 11 or so but Wilson especially higher because of the better passing. I consider middle-of-the-pack Dalton, Smith, Ryan. RGIII, Brady, and Eli Manning all had a middle-of-the-pack year but too soon to label that way.
