    I don't know what constitutes "elite", but I'm pretty sure Wilson has like 16 td's and zero picks in his last four or five games. Oh, and he's won a Superbowl. And he's playing without one of the best RB's in the league. And he doesn't have amazing WR's.

    Pettine is correct in my opinion. Elite organizations, teams, players have several years of performance. Patriots are an elite organization, Panthers are not. Panthers are very good this year, but I don't consider them elite yet. If they remain a top team for the next 5-10 years, then they are an elite organization. An organization, team or player can have a good year, or two, that is not being elite. Derek Anderson, Kordell Stewert - great years, not elite talent.

    Can we perhaps agree the words could have been said better when we're going to Seattle to play the second hottest team in the NFL outside of Carolina?

    In the context of the article.....IE "What Pettine actually said"......is that Wilson isnt top 3-4 with Brady, Rodgers, Roethlesburg & Brees .....but certainly is in the next level....

    So, in context, he wasnt swiping at Wilson....just speaking the truth....he's good, even very good...but not Brady ...

    Of course though the Seahawks will use this as locker room fodder.....and Wilson will probably throw for 7 TD Sunday.

    Wilson may not be a top 3 QB, but he's damn near close.

    Versus our NCAA defense I'm a bit worried about what he might do to us.

    It's true but Pettine has to friking know not to say it like that. Just use some flippin coach speak and move on. As if the Seahawks didn't need enough to embarrass us on Sunday.

  • Pettine is correct in my opinion. Elite organizations, teams, players have several years of performance. Patriots are an elite organization, Panthers are not. Panthers are very good this year, but I don't consider them elite yet. If they remain a top team for the next 5-10 years, then they are an elite organization.

    Pettine made a comment about the Panthers ?

    typically coaches of 3-11 teams, or whatever we are now....don't make it a point to antagonize the QB of a team that is on fire and trying to secure as high a playoff birth as possible. Not the smartest move...Wilson is going to bunghole rape us. And something tells me that's the point. FO told Pettine make sure we don't win another game.

    Pet has a habit of being a little too honest in his pressers.

    So basically the reporters are just trying to stir the pot and be assholes? Sounds about right.

    I'm so tired of this "elite" term. The one guy that not many people talk about is Carson Palmer. That guy is having one hell of a year, and his deep ball accuracy is just Retarded. He's playing at a damn fine level right now.

    Eh idk about all that, but I've added this to the "head scratcher" group of things Pettine has done in his wonderful stint as HC.

    It just seems to idiotic to me to have not been done on purpose.
