Catching Ducks

This Fieldgulls post was quite interesting. The author wrote about a recent shift in how the national media talks about Russell Wilson. Last season he was discussed in connection with the other young quarterbacks: Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Cam Newton, and Colin Kaepernick. But now, he's being grouped with the elite quarterbacks of the NFL.

A good example of this would be yesterday's Fox Sports Live broadcast, which had a discussion of "how to build a perfect playoff quarterback". They picked Wilson's mobility, but that's not as important as this: During the segment, they had a poll on the right side of the screen that said:

Which QB would you rather have on your roster?
-Russell Wilson
-Drew Brees
-Peyton Manning
-Tom Brady

So... yeah.
