Best quarterbacks in Las Vegas Raiders History: 10. Marc Wilson

  • Overall Record with Raiders: 31-19

Career Stats with Raiders:

  • 11,760 passing yards
  • 77 touchdowns
  • 86 interceptions
  • 52.3 completion percentage
  • 69 passer rating

When you look at the stats, Marc Wilson was never all that impressive of an NFL quarterback. Despite being a first-round pick, it took a few years for him to see a decent amount of starts for the Raiders. Even when that time came, he often ceded his role to the aging Jim Plunkett.

Still, Wilson is worth a mention. We can’t ignore the fact that he did win two Super Bowls with the Raiders (as a backup), and was under center for a couple of the team’s stronger seasons in the mid-80s.

It’s true that Wilson struggled at times to protect the football, and never really proved to be much more than a solid backup and occasional spot starter. However, even with that being the case, he made his mark on the Raiders franchise with his ability to step in and keep the offense afloat.

Wilson had a much better collegiate career at BYU than he did with the Raiders. When it all comes down to it, though, you can’t deny that he contributed to some of the Raiders most successful years and delivered a few big-time performances in the early years of his NFL career.
