Rookie quarterbacks: And then there was ONE.

There were three rookie quarterbacks heading into the NFL playoffs this weekend.  Each broke or tied at least one rookie record, and the fact that there were three rookie QBs in the playoffs, was itself a record.

Only one rookie made it past the first weekend: Russell Wilson.

Wilson is faster than you think.

It's a team sport, but if you've watched the Seahawks play, then you know that their success was dependent upon the arms and legs of rookie quarterback, Russell Wilson.  So it was, against the Redskins, that the go-ahead touchdown run by Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch, came with the help of a down field block by Russell Wilson.  That blur you saw, was Wilson getting ahead of Lynch to deliver that block.

That might have been the hallmark of a player deserving of the NFL Rookie of the Year award, I think.
