The Wolfpack has three starting quarterbacks starting the NFL. Mike Glennon was rumored going to be the starting quarterback during summer camp butTampa decided to sit the rookie and made a mid season switch. The first couple of games he looked the part of a rookie but now the last three weeks has played the part of a cagey veteran in leading Tampa to three straight wins and during this win streak has five touchdowns and only one pick. His quarterback rating has been over 110 during the streak which puts his rating at 91for the year.
Russell Wilson in his second NFL season just might be the best of all those quarterbacks from the so called super class in 2012. Yes the run and gun quarterbacks were suppose to change the NFL but all of those running quarterbacks have found out the NFL has coaches that can look at film and come up with a plan to stop quarterbacks that can't be accurate throwing. Russell Wilson doesn't fit that mold.
First of all he only runs out of desperation not part of the huddle call. Most of all he is an accurate thrower in the pocket or while rolling out out. His QB rating is 105 and the NFL standard these days is any QB over 100 is classified down right great.
Then there is Philip Rivers who went over 30,000 yards last week in his 10 year career. There is no doubt if he played in New York where he was drafted he would be considered just may be top five quarterbacks of all time. But he plays for San Diego who always some how pulls bonehead plays like intercepting a pass that beats Tom Brady in 2005 playoffs while returning the ball fumble it and Brady is setup to runout the clock and watch the winning field goal. Just maybe Archie Manning knew what he was talking about when he wouldn't let Eli play there.
Rivers has won 60 per cent of his games for a team that many times he has to score 41 to win. His one chance when San Diego was the best team he has surgery on his knee the Monday before the AFC championship game just to hold his knee together. Between being the toughest he is the one of the most accurate in the history of the NFL. He is 4th in passing yardage this year but there are 10 quarterbacks have attempted more passes than he has. Just this pass Sunday brought his team back three times in the fourth quarter to win in KC to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. His QB rating on the season is 106 and his 95.7 is sixth best in NFL history
Ok Wolfpack fans this year has been a stinker. The football season ends Saturday for theWolfpack but we can all turn our attention to our three Wolfpackers quarterbacking in the NFL Just might have one in the Super Bowl.
