Well, For The Win’s Steven Ruiz’ clickbait worked because I wrote this piece, you are reading it and we are all viewing his original content, ha!
Here’s how he started his post ranking all the quarterbacks in the NFL from coolest to dorkiest based . . . on aesthetics. Aesthetics???
“Look, I’m not proud that I wrote this,” Ruiz wrote. “But you clicked on it, so obviously it’s something YOU are interested in, too, so let’s not pass any judgment here. Okay?”
Ruiz clearly had some time on his hands when he pitted the league’s signal-callers against each other based on his very odd metrics. Curious where Seahawks QB Russell Wilson landed on the list?
All the way down at No. 18.
“This is actually a decent look, but I think this is where Wilson’s height hurts him,” Ruiz writes. “It’s not just that he’s shorter than most starting quarterbacks; it’s that he’s also wider than most quarterbacks. I can’t get that picture of him in the Hawaiian shirt out of my head.”
Not sure whether or not Wilson’s height and width have much to do with his dorkiness level, however, if finds a way to take Seattle to the Super Bowl this year, that would make him the coolest quarterback in the league.
