4) Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks


Some will argue against Wilson's top-five ranking, based solely on his pass production, but keen observers recognize his value as one of the most efficient dual-threat playmakers at the position. The three-year vet nearly posted a 3,500/1,000 season (3,475 passing yards and 849 rushing yards) as the director of the Seahawks' diverse offensive attack in 2014. People mistakenly see him as a "game manager" for a team that is overly reliant on a dominant defense and a strong running game. But it's hard to dispute his record (36-12) and history of success since entering the NFL. Considering Wilson's clutch production (15 game-winning drives, including 10 fourth-quarter comebacks over his career) and the addition of a dominant "MOF" (middle of the field) target in new tight end Jimmy Graham, the two-time Pro Bowler might cement himself as a no-doubt member of the quarterbacking upper echelon in 2015.

The other 2 writers rank him #7 and #5 so these evaluations are purely subjective.
He's the perfect QB for our Offense, so others ranked above him might not fare as well playing here, but he could probably do very well in other Offenses - but that's also purely subjective.

To me 4, 7, 5 all that means is people are finally giving him his props.

True. They seem to have gotten over the height prejudice in viewing his abilities and value.

With that ranking, he should be at about 22m a year on his extension.

Which is somewhere near a number of posters were discussing a few months back.
I wouldn't be surprised to see more, but I doubt we will see him getting less.
