Interesting premise … of course, the list is full of quarterbacks, but Russell Wilson went third behind Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck.

From the piece:
"Talk about consistency. In his five seasons, Wilson’s average PFF grade has been 90.6, never falling below 86.8. He’s got a Super Bowl title and another championship appearance under his belt despite being a surprise rookie-year starter as a third-round draft pick and standing at only 5-foot-11.

"Why him? Any time you build a team from scratch there’s always the chance the offensive line won’t quite be where you want it, and no quarterback has shown greater ability to succeed despite his offensive line than Wilson. In spite of missing all of the supposed thresholds that should stop him from being a top-quality NFL quarterback, Wilson has delivered consistently since he entered the NFL. A mobile quarterback he may be, but Wilson can dissect NFL defenses with his arm and has earned a PPF overall grade above 85.0 in each of his five seasons and finished above 90 three times. Under 30 years of age, Wilson’s versatility, age and ability to succeed regardless of the platform and support around him makes him the ideal foundation quarterback. – Ben Stockwell, @PFF_Ben"
