Nobody can out point Russell Wilson thoe first 10 seasons of the career....nobody!!!!!

100 points for Super Bowl wins

So it;s Trent Dilfer 100 and Dan Marino 0.

Jim McMahan 100 and Fran Tarkento 0

Oh hell yes that will work.

Did you really think Big Ben had a better first 10 seasons than Russell Wilson?

4 4000 yard seasons

5 30 TD seasons

6 less than 10 INT seasons

6 100 or better passer ratings

6 400 or more rushing yards seasons

That gives him 49 points

Beat it~~~~~

If we took Wilsons best numbers

comp% 68.8

yards 4219

TD's 40

INT only 5

Passer rating 110.9

rushing 849

Who can compare to that in those first 10 seasons?

I can think of a guy who won 4 TITLES in his first ten years. And even more after that!

So you put Eli Manning above all those great Hall of Fame QB's that never won a Superbowl, really?

So Dan Marino must have sucked since he neve won a Superbowl.

Terry Bradshaw had more INTs than TD's, his stats suck, 4 time SB champ.

Take a few minutes and try and find somebody who did it better than Russell Wilson those first 10 seasons.

Hi Ciara!!

You mean Mr. Unlimited?

He's dangerRuss.

Francis Tarkenton gets too much criticism for Superbowl loses. Tarkenton was 33 years old, 34 years old and 36 years old in his three Superbowl appearances. Some posters will say: T Brady. Tarkenton took many hits. Tarkenton suffered far more physical punishment than Brady. Tarkenton probably suffered more physical punishment than any QB in history. Tarkenton retired with most rushing yards for a QB AND most passing yards for a QB. Let's see R Wilson top those stats!

His first 10 seasons are history. None of those stats will help him in Denver. If Pete Carroll thought he would continue to perform at that level I wonder if the Seahawks would have done more to accommodate Wilson's wishers...or maybe he knows more than you think you do.

Tarkenton was amazng and is STILL way up there with the stats BUT...

Things were different in his day, he never had a 30 TD season never had a 4000 yard season, never had a 100 passer rating, hell he had seasons where he threw more INT;s than TD's. He never rushed for over 354 yards in a season. But he was still among the very elite, actually the on;y old timers among the stat leaders.

What got me was Unitas got all the props while Tarkenton was the better QB.

Tarkenton has 342 passing TD's, Wilson will have around 325ish after this season, so he should pass him into 12th place all time.

You're 70-something or 80-something if you're a Viet Nam vet. You know you can't compare statistics from 1960s & 1970s to today. The best you can do are relative rankings. Tarkenton retired with all the top statistics or almost all. R Wilson will not. Number of 4000 yard passing seasons? 1) Most of Tarkenton 's career, 12 or 14 game seasons. 2) Before mid-1970s, receivers were hit and hit hard down the field. Mid-to-late 1970s, 5 yard rule. 3) R Wilson is on the Back 9 as was Tarkenton in his late 30s when he threw more interceptions than touchdowns.

I mentioned things were dfferent back then, so we look at who was elite in their day. Unitas, Tarkenton, Starr were the elite.

I liked Tarkenton but he did throw a lot of INT's, try 25 in his second season.

Yep, things were different. Do doubt any of those old timers would stand a chance vs these athletes on defense today. While Wilson would destroy what Tarkenton was facing.

I've met Eller, Page and Marshall. Eller, 6'6" & Page 6'4" would weight train like the men today. Paul Krause was the 2nd or 3rd string quarterback when they had only a 40 man roster. Bud Grant said Krause had the best hands on the team. Just think how many interceptions Krause would have in this era. The guys who played then who would get cut in five minutes today, the field goal kickers. Biggest change in football skill, field goal kickers. The other stars from 1960 & 1970s would have a chance.

I can see Jim Brown making it 6-2 230 works today. Bob Hayes has always been the fastest WR that won't change, Gale Sayers could play today, really can't see anyone else however. Talking pre 1970;
