Russell Wilson has been one of the best quarterbacks since entering the NFL in 2012. He started in two back-to-back Super Bowls winning Super Bowl XLVIII. He has been to the Pro Bowl 7 times during his 9 year NFL career. He is the staple of the Seahawks organization.
Let’s take a look at how many times the Seattle Seahawks won games against teams with a winning record with Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback.
I started to dive into this stat for every quarterback because the new hot argument is to say that a certain quarterback didn’t beat anyone good. I often see people use this argument to say players like Kirk Cousins and Matthew Stafford are not good and just put up empty stats.
First off and most importantly, quarterback wins are a team statistic. Secondly, very few quarterbacks in the NFL have a winning record against teams who finished the season above .500 in the league.
