Theres an article/video on CBS about the Week 17 power rankings, written by an [obviously] anti-Seattle reporter by the name of Pete Prisco, who had some choice words about RW that had nothing to do with the article or the rankings. A commenter with the handle, Anne Pegues, wrote this sick response: Let me explain why us crazies seem immune to the metric-happy-pocket-passer form of quarterback analysis. Russell Wilson is like Picasso or Piet Mondrian. Late arrivals look at these cubist renderings, measure them against the great painters and see lines and squiggles where poochy lips and landscapes are supposed to be. But real fans know that both these dudes painted the hell out of classic subjects when they chose to; and that true, raw talent was never the issue. Genius trumps talent, you see. Russell could play like Brady, or Manning or Rodgers - maybe BETTER, if that was the landscape and portrait offense he was asked to play in. Give him wave after wave of two-dimensional talented receivers and a crisp, paint-by-numbers pocket, and he will deliver any pass to the intended receiver - his arm and eye are absurdly gifted. This is barely year 3, remember. And he can read defenses and manage his receivers with the best of them, if that is what his offensive coordinator and pass-happy TV Nielson rating NFL cash register asks. But the cubists CHOSE to leave behind the mundane, if financially safe realm of classic painting for new frontiers - where they were derided, and ridiculed, and told they did not know how to paint - but where unlimited new realms of the good, the bad, the sometimes ugly, but effective gridirons (they are now considered among the greatest EVER to hold a brush) gave them room to RUN and PLAY. Pity the fools still sighing over insipid pastel watercolors. See you in Arizona, boys. Wowza. cbssports/nfl/powerrankings
