“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Ex NFL QB Hugh Millen said last Friday that rookie Seattle Seahawk QB is a “teacher’s pet”. It was a VERY low blow by a Matt Flynn supporter like his buddy KJR sports radio host Dave Mahler.

Well guess what readers? The “teacher’s pet” out played Matt Flynn in pre-season. It is that simple. Russell Wilson is a very intelligent young fella who can throw, run and is agile and mobile and dynamic and can put fans in the seats. His answers in post game interviews are great.

Truth be told I just could not understand why fans and Seattle talk hosts like Mahler etc said Flynn should start as soon as he signed his contract with the Seahawks. Before he walked on the field for training camp. Flynn was the man.

Talk show hosts here in town said Wilson should sit and watch Matt Flynn for a year and other crazy stuff. And that Wilson is the “safe” choice to start. And also talked about his experience. Experience? Oh…..his grand total of two starts in the NFL.  Give me a break. I never fell for that readers. Never. I knew if given a chance Wilson could do the job.

I followed him in college. He was one of the few college players I wanted to watch every week on TV. Russell Wilson is a special player and will prove it to Seahawk fans.

Heard Hall Of Fame member and one of the greatest QB’s in NFL history, Terry Bradshaw say on TV today that Wilson should start and repeated what I and others already know. And that is Russell has a arm, can run and is very intelligent and is a leader.

This is from Bradshaw a all time great QB! All you have to do is watch Wilson play and you should think like Bradshaw and others think and that is Wilson can be a great, not good but a great player in the NFL. He can make plays that Flynn could only dream of. This is just a fact. Flynn is a good QB. Just not as good as Russell Wilson.

Sorry to see T.O. cut from the Seahawks. I am worried about T.O. because he seems to be a fella who has not made plans for himself after football. I have watched his reality shows and saw him crying etc. I hope we do not have another Jr. Seau on our hands. Please pray for Terrell Owens. And good luck to T-Jack with the Bills. He handed every thing with class. He is a good dude.

Anyway head coach Pete Carroll made the right move and named Russell Wilson the starter for game #1 for the Seahawks and I am excited big time as a sports fan and Seahawk fan to see Wilson when the season finally starts.
