*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.

I’m not going to talk about the top 5 or top 10 stuff, but anyone would easily prefer to have Lawrence over Wilson. Wilson was over 30 and was on the decline with an awful contract that Denver lost a lot of assets for too. Lawrence had a big playoff win and showed improvement. People also wrote off Lawrence as a bust even halfway through last yr until he figured it out.

The difference in treatment has a lot to do with the fact that one of the players is older and had a massive drop off from his usual play and was trending downward while the other got better and had a playoff comeback win.
