Wilson’s qb ratings haven’t been that high because his completion % isn’t usually above average (but I think it was pretty high @ Wisconsin) – his greatest strength isn’t his accuracy – he’s a very good decision maker and a great scrambler.
When forced to be a traditional qb – he’s not as strong. But, if I could pick a qb to lead a team in the 4th quarter, he’d be one of the top 5.
That said, this probably wasn’t the best year for him to pursue baseball. He had a mediocre championship game and threw the game-ending pick in the super bowl. I don’t think baseball will/did cause him to not be as good, it just is a lightning rod when things don’t go well.
Ironically, it’s the same kind of stubborn streak that tob demonstrates: “I don’t care if it doesn’t make sense, I am going to do what I want to do.”
