On the MNF broadcast, Jon Gruden was gushing the whole game about the Seahawks in general, and Wilson especially. He exclaimed on several plays to the effect of "how on earth did he see that guy open" on his scrambles. Exactly what a good PG does. If he can continue to improve his ability and situational awareness on more standard pocket passing plays...the sky's the limit.
Lenny Wilkens was before my day, trying to think of the best current PG comparison to Wilson...would love to see him have a Tony Parker type career. Always underrated by the average fan focused on headline stats, but plays super smart and efficient, and consistently does what it takes to win - including taking over and putting up monster numbers some games when it's needed. Rajon Rondo comes to mind a bit too, just because of the propensity for athletic, unconventional pass plays that no other player can even think up, let alone execute.
