In their case, Bodha, and all the buzz they created when they drafted Wilson with such enthusiasm and conviction, I don't think they will think twice about starting him.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about Wilson (other than his exceptional feet and vision---yes vision, despite his size---and his smooth, accurate delivery) is his uncanny ability to assimilate immediately into a new offensive system.
At Wisconsin last year, for example, not only did he learn a command of the offense within a couple of weeks, he assimilated so naturally and well that the players named him a captain.
What I love too about Wilson is he is a guy that had every expectation of coming right in and winning the starting job---and he had the courage to say this right from the get-go.
What I appreciate about the Seahawks is how they have handled Wilson and his development. The fact that Wilson has put himself in the position to start is a testament to the Seattle coaches who are willing to think a little outside of the box and take risks.
I am not a Pete Carroll fan in the least---but he has done more to develop this young man's confidence and cater their offense to his strengths than the ever-uncertain, ultra-skeptical Ken Whisenhunt ever would have done.
