Right... Pretty sure Steve Young won a couple Super Bowls...

TypicalBrowns

Or a dominate secondary and a lb core that swoops to the ball like a bat out of hell

I've barely seen Wilson, they won this game with a dynamite defense.

TypicalBrowns

To reiterate, not many good commercials, colbert with the pistachios was the best

granted it's only half time but I dont see Denver coming back barring a miracle.

What does this game reveal? It shows that mobile QBs are officially in and stand in the pocket qbs are now 2nd rate, not as attractive, behind in the times, obsolete.

Browns will now take manzeil or another mobile qb, gaurantee it.

Even though Seattle's defense has everything to do with the lead, the QB will take the glory.

LOL this game makes no statement either way on mobile vs pocket QB's. This makes one hell of a case to build a dominant defense.

Wilson looks good other than that one throw that he overthrew the guy at the first of the game. Hes playing a very good game

Wilson has made play after play. Manning has choked. I wanted the Broncos to win but thems the facts.

bbedward

Wilson had 3 rushing attempts... 26 yards. Big Ben does more in a game. Hell, Hoyer is on that level too. They are more pocket passer than mobile IMO. Maybe more "balanced" actually.

Peyton manning is the better QB. Seattle is the better team.

I just disagree with the new thread title. Seattle won with an amazing defense and a QB who ran things well, but he isn't a new era mobile, read option QB. He certainly didn't win by mobility.

He opened some throwing lanes by going out of the pocket, but that's because he's 5'10" and smart so he has to do that.

if you want to copy on how to win in the nfl then copy the seahawks.

not so mobile QB that manages the game well, power rushing game (OL and a brusier and a speed guy RB) and a smothering defense made up of tall fast LB and DB/S corp.

Yes. Wilson helped, but he was far from the sole reason they won. That defense was something the broncos haven't seen all year.

Defensive teams win. Look at Baltimore too.

"Mobile" doesn't mean "read option".

I don't understand what's hard about that concept.

Third round, as opposed to top 5 or bust- I don't understand that concept either.

The Seahawks are bursting with talent. LT,LG are both first rounders, C 2nd, wr 1st and 2nd, two lb's 1st and 2nd,

and otherwise, they found gems later in the draft. Kam Chancellor is one, as well as Sherman.

I heard some analyst say the Seahawks are known to draft guys who are hungry, and love the game.

I think Peyton will retire, his arm looks like he should.

Maybe he meant he's black so he has to be mobile.

Yup... Using this SB I can make the same case for a game manager at QB.

With very few exceptions what the Seahawks are, has been the winning recipe since forever...

Employees who LOVE whatever they do for a living helps any business succeed.

Speaking of which... despite Peyton setting a SB record for completions (yup, he did), I do not see him "going out" on this game. He loves it too much.

Yea, but I'd venture to say Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady were/are just as mobile as Wilson.

Most every good qb can escape pressure in the pocket. That's pretty much all the mobility I saw from Wilson.
