*among players with at least 100 pass attempts

Russell Wilson has quietly been pretty dang good this season, and Sean Payton has turned this organization around despite inheriting an abysmal team and getting off to a rough first few games.

Nathaniel Hackett might feel like the head-to-head was some vindication, but let's not forget that the Jets defense scored 9 points that game. Sean Payton may be a jerk for saying what he said about Hackett, but he wasn't wrong.

Russ is also quietly reinventing himself as a passer. In Seattle he would never hit a checkdown if a big play was available. So his new brand of football - he's dinking, he's dunking. It's less exciting to watch but he's slowly getting better at reads. So a lot of kudos for him actually trying to develop.

I think he is starting to realize that the dink and dunk combined with the run game will open up the deeper passes, but it has to be invested in and they have to keep at it.
