Ben often didn't have the efficiency.
Russ doesn't have the volume.

In 10 years, Wilson's average ranking in attempts is 16.2. Middle of the pack.

Meanwhile, Ben is at 10.1 (counting seasons he missed a few games, but not counting the time he missed nearly the entire season). Rodgers (not counting the 2 seasons he was mostly injured) is at 9.5.

I even rounded up Wilson's attempts from last season (he missed 3 games), which bumped him all the way up to 19th. Rodgers and our guy each missed a game last season. Otherwise, they would've ranked 10th and 12th in attempts, respectively.

The only season where Wilson combined great efficiency with high volume was 2020.

So to me, he's in the game manager category. A fantastic game manager, but a game manager nonetheless.

You say you need to see it again from Burrow, but Wilson himself has only had a season like that once, and he has never thrown for 4600 yards, which Burrow did in 16 games, mind you. The most Wilson has thrown for is 4219.

That has always been my criticism with Wilson. I feel like his early years he was able to lean on his run game and defense big time. I feel like he has definitely developed into a great game manager, but I don't think he's much more than that.
