RUSSEL WISLON SHOULD BE #1 PICK FOR RAVENS

Wilson by far is the most NFL ready QB in this draft. He has the footwork of a Drew Brees and the escapibility of a young McNabb. His pocket awareness is almost Manning like. A born leader like Ray Lewis and plays with a chip on his shoulder like Tom Brady. He has the arm and the touch to make every throw. He can maneuver in the pocket, make throws on the run , extend plays, and he protects the ball. All this is overlook because he is 5’11 in stature, 3 inches shorter that RG3 and 5 inches shorter than Luck. But outweighs them both in skills. Not only did throw for over 8,500 yards in 3yrs (2 1/2yrs as starter) at NC State but pass for 76 TD’s. Of course rewards and records followed him during his time there. In 2010 he was drafted by the Colorado Rockies to play 2nd base. Second Base and shortstop is the most athletic positions in baseball I remind you.

Even after all his success he still wanted to play football and live his dream of being a NFL quarterback. On June 27th 2011 he was released from his football scholarship from NC State and transferred to Wisconsin. In one month time he learned the playbook and got the starting position. He threw for over 3,100 yards and 33 TD’s with only 4 int’s with a 191.8 passer rating (76%completion). Wisconsin was 2nd behind Stanford in red zone offense. These mean he does not turn the ball over and makes smart decisions inside the red zone and scores TD’s.(Wisconsin 95%, Stanford 98%). He led Wisconsin to a Big Ten Championship. Still not impressed yet? Or is his height still a concern for you? His starting offensive line average height was 6’5 which is on par with NFL lineman. Any NFL scout who perfected his craft will see that Wilson is the best QB available in this draft. If any team drafts RG3 or Luck before him it is simply because of a few INCHES in height not how they play the game. For each team that will pass on him they will regret it deeply i.e.; Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. He has a GOD given skill set and athletics to become one of the new breed of QBs the NFL has not yet seen. Coming from a family of lawyers his knowledge and IQ are superb and is not in question. He is a baller, he does not know anything else.

Anybody that actually knows football and the QB position can look at tape of Russel Wilson and see that he does and knows stuff that Joe Flacco still does not know how to do. Or is still learning how to do. Like pocket awareness, learning when to throw ball away, when to take a sack, how to extend plays in pocket. Granted Flacco had succes in the leauge so far. i will pin more on the Baltimore raven Team for his success than his individual performence.

PS- He ran a 4.55 40yard dash for those who like to look at numbers.
