The word on the street was that Russell Wilson could move into the lead for the Seahawks' starting QB job with an impressive showing against the Chiefs on Friday night. Wilson got it done. Drawing his first start, the rookie went 13 of 19 for 185 yards with 2 TDs and 0 INTs. He added 58 yards on the ground, highlighted by a 31-yard scamper. QB Matt Flynn, meanwhile, sat out with a sore arm. Wilson has had one of the most impressive preseasons of anyone in the league. He's completed 67% of his passes with 5 TDs and just 1 INT. He's added another 150 yards and a score on the ground. Wlson brings playmaking ability to the Seahawks offense. It'll take some guts to roll with him as the starter, but HC Pete Carroll has never been afraid to make a bold move. If Wilson does get the job, he'd be an intriguing late-round flier, thanks mostly to his rushing ability.
