Tannehill vs Wilson

[Brian Fein]

Sydney Rice and Percy Harvin are better players than Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin.  Still not elite, and Harvin was injured most of last season.  The point is the same.

I see Wilson above Doug Flutie, who was mostly a backup during his career until his last few years in San Diego.

I think 2009 Sidney Rice was better than 2014 Doug Baldwin; 2013 Sidney Rice was hanging on to the league by a thread (and is now out of the NFL entirely).  Last year, he finished behind both Baldwin and Kearse in every receiving category.

Still, the point is the same: give Wilson Miami's receiving corps and he would probably look a lot better.  Brian Hartline would be the #1 receiver on Seattle.

The fact that Spidey and I agree on this issue should qualify as empirical evidence...

Nothing against Tannehill, who I have repeatedly said that I like, but if I was Miami's GM for a day and had the opportunity to trade Tanny for Wilson, straight up, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I'm not sure I would. I've got nothing against Wilson, but I also prefer a prototypical pocket passer over Wilson's style. Wilson is the better runner, Tannehill might be the better passer. I say might because I think the jury is still out, but Tannehill in the last 4 or 5 games has shown to be a better passer than Wilson in that same time and I think that Tannehill's arrow is still pointing up whereas I think Wilson's arrow might be about as high as it's ever going to get.

I still don't know why people are saying Wilson has reached his "ceiling" when his receiving corps has been a bunch of scrubs.

Jaws had some good comments about Wilson today. He basically said that Wilson in the pocket is an average QB, but Wilson in scramble mode is one of a kind. He does things nobody else can. I think that's a pretty good assessment of Wilson. So would he be a better QB with better WR's? I'm sure he would be to a degree, but the way he plays I think the WR's he has do a pretty good job.
