Five Reasons Why Russell Wilson is the Most Useful Quarterback for the Zombie Apocalypse

Russell Wilson may not be a great pick in fantasy football, but he certainly has OsQ's vote for "Most Useful Quarterback for the Zombie Apocalypse." Here are five reasons why. 

1. It is highly unlikely that Russell Wilson would leave you behind to get eaten by zombies just because it'd make life easier for him in the moment.  This is first and foremost. You won't survive for long if someone like Tom Brady abandons you to the zombies.

2.  Wilson is used to being surrounded by a crowd that wants to clobber him and is mobile enough to escape being grabbed more often than traditional pocket-passers such as Eli Manning or Aaron Rodgers. This would be useful when dealing with zombies.

3. No one is saying that other QBs in the NFL lack athleticism. Colin Kaepernick, for one, is athletic. However, Wilson isn't just strong and quick, he is also light and small. He would be able to escape through windows and over precarious roofs or ledges that Kaepernick would not be able to navigate.

4.  Wilson has a good instinct for self-preservation. He will stay on the field as long as he can, but knows when to head out of bounds. In a football game it is sad when RG3 can't protect himself. In a zombie apocalypse others would have to take risks to get him out of bad situations that could have been avoided with a little caution. Risk-taking behavior can easily compound into a trap for the whole party.

5. If things are going badly, you would never know it by looking at Wilson. When Cam Newton makes pouty faces it does not improve the morale of those around him, whether in a football game or a zombie apocalypse.  Wilson is able to stay focused in the face of the awkward or unexpected and maintain a sleepy-eyed poker face.
