Colin Cowherd: Russell Wilson Is A "freak," Mentioned In Same Sentence As Michael Jordan And Lebron James

[Mega Flare]

He says he had better stats than Matt Ryan, despite cross-country flights and playing on road. He's a transcendent talent and he's amazing as a rookie and Cowturd doesn't care that the Seahawks lost.

Moron.

[natod12]

he's a seattle boy. he has to cling to something

[coastiemike]

Oh good. The transcendent athlete gets to watch the Super Bowl from his couch, just like me.

Moron.

So the fact that opposing defenses had to go cross country before defending him is irrelevant?

[bossFALCON™]

He's Donovan McNabb with a higher football IQ

[#1 pick™]

He's a freak, without a question. He was amazing and put that team on his back. I don't care what anyone says, that was the best QB I seen the Falcons go up v. in the last five years including Aaron Rodgers. He made one critical mistake the whole game and didn't even have a minor mistake. He was a freak of nature. His Football IQ is not one of a rookie. He ran when he needed too and escaped everything. We are lucky that Seahawks didn't have the ball much in the 1st half and they were trying to set up the run most of the time when they did.

[FalconMama]

It doesn't matter at this point.. Let him give the kid his props he played a great game and he's the reason the Seahawks were in it till the end. It's all good.

Beg to differ on better stats...one stat matters, the W. Everyone wants to talk about how Seattle came back to ALMOST win the game from a 20 point deficit - ovation.

None of the talking heads seem to understand what they TRULY witnessed yesterday - Mr. Clutch - Ice in the veins - Matty Ice - The Matural - I prefer Mattlanta - he IS Atlanta - with another GREAT comeback with only 31 seconds left in the game. Let's talk about THAT comeback, which in my mind is better than a 20 point comeback in the second half...31 seconds...for real? - STANDING OVATION!! CHEERS TO YOU MATT RYAN!!

I keep hearing the word luck thrown around the media and fans. Well...7 times in one season - WINNING, 2 times with under a minute -WITNESS and once without any timeouts from the 1 yard line - CLUTCH...Atlanta can't win in the playoffs and playing the hottest team going into the postseason...with only 31 seconds left - PRICELESS!!

That was a VISA moment - PRICELESS!!

No, the fact that he praises the losing QB and barely mentions the winning team is moronic.

he's a seattle boy. he has to cling to something

Ah, good information!

I don't recall McNabb ever playing that well. Needless to say McNabb is a much better player in his career due to him doing it for 10+ years but this season and in that game, he was amazing and the best I've seen. He looked like Fran Tarkenton mixed with Aaron Rodgers.

[Ergo Proxy]

Worship the player.

Players worship the TROPHY.

lol /endofline

Bingo!

A bad throw for an interception is the reason they were in it.

Russell Wilson deserves every accolade that can be thrown his way. He was absolutely phenomnal yesterday.

I thought that he would crack, and far from it, he stood and delivered. Fantastic performance. The guy's future couldn't possibly be brighter.

He's a very classy dude too.

His great performance just makes the Falcons win yesterday even greater. They got a performance like that from their beastly QB and they have the best defense in the NFL, and they still lost.

[didz]

Wilson is a very good player on a very good team. I am willing to say the Seahawks were the best team in the NFL before the Falcons beat them. I think the Falcons are very battle tested now and can only go up from here.

[coastiemike]

Meh....he also just said the 49ers were going "to roll us." I believe he said the exact same thing before the Giants game.

I caught that too. When will these morons learn?

He's just pizzed at the Falcons for not covering the 2.5 last week lol.

The Falcons aren't an impressive team to watch but they get the job done. It's like Indy's Super Bowl team.

[4dabirds]

Wilson is awesome. The Hawks haven't had a franchise QB since Hasselbeck, and Wilson is much better than MH in my opinion. He makes that team very dangerous and he deserves the props.

You should be a super hero: Hyperbole Man.

[Rai]

the guy played his heart out. that performance reminded me of Ryan's rookie game against the bears. the rookies just took over the game against veteran defences.

So your just going to ignore the facts because it doesn't fit what you want to talk about today?

[Hustle Up]

Meh....he also just said the 49ers were going "to roll us." I believe he said the exact same thing before the Giants game.

Yeah I just heard that too. They just simply refuse to accept the Falcons are very good. It looked like a funeral on the set of FOX after the game.

LOL I owe you a like for that one.
