Wilsonās numbers werent particularly HOF worthy in Seattle to begin with. His decline since getting to Denver and Smithās success since taking over in Seattle (if both continue) erode his case. Thatās the point. If Wilson never leaves Seattle I donāt think this conversation happens. I will say his greatness seems more a media creation than the reality now that heās in Denver and I look at his career more closely.The fatal flaw in your reasoning is that getting into the HOF requires a look at the entire career, not just five games.
You suggested that his numbers were actually because of the system and not because he's a really good quarterback. I suppose that's fair, but I can turn that right around on you and say, with the Broncos, he's a really good quarterback playing within a flawed system.
Look at Junior Seau. He didn't get into the HOF because of his stats with the Patriots or the Dolphins. He got into the HOF because of his performance with the Chargers. His post-Chargers numbers sucked in comparison, just as Russell's post-Seahawks numbers do now...
