ESPN’s Colin Cowherd says Russell Wilson is a Top 5 QB–Better than Drew Brees

Cowherd needs to lay off the crack and pay more attention to Michelle Beadle's crack.

Wilson was impressive this year but it is too early to call him a top 5 QB.
There wasn't much film on him this year so we will see what he does next year after defenses get to look at this year's film. You do have to give him credit though, it's not like he has great receivers.

OOPS!

Now I know why he's looking for attention. He's off the Sportsnation show as of January 1. Hope he interviews Drew soon.... NOT! Drew usually skips the loser journalists.

Marcellus Wiley replacing Colin Cowherd on SportsNation

You've got a good point. The thing is, Wilson is always the most prepared player on the field. Other teams will make adjustments, but Wilson will figure out what their adjustments are and change things up on the opposing defense. He already shows that he can do that within a game, not just within a season.

That's fine when Drew Brees has 5k+ passing 40ish TD (and yes 9ish interceptions) going into the super bowl he'll be back in the mix.

guady yardage whores next year...

Just...too dumb.

Oh brother,

It's nothing more than Cowherd having a school-girl infatuation with a rookie QB. That's the problem with these guys on ESPN, they just run with the stupidest stories. How 'bout letting him play a few years in the league before we start comparing him to the best in the league, eh Colin?

And Joe Flacco is the best quarterback in the universe...

Sorry 18/36 in that last game isn't the best QB. Joe Flacco is good/average

Is ESPN a call-in show?
Maybe he is trying to drum up responses.
