Anyone know about this guy Wilson?
Does anyone know about this guy? C'mon Uptown? Or are you lopping softballs at me?
I like his awareness, feel & mobility in the pocket but he could clean up a few things and has actually. He's got better at not turning his back to the defense in pocket. Doesn't fall back as deep. He has a little hero ball in him but it's a good/bad thing and has improved.
He's been very efficient deep, short and intermediate. Showing good touch outside the numbers, pylon passes, deep and out routes.
One thing that always stood out and bugged me was the fact that Stidham had a hard time creating outside the confines of Gus's offense. The music stopped. Not the case with Wilson. He's a creator. Can work off script and has played great within a new & improved offense. Wilson is impressive in how creative he is sometimes. Shows good patience, small stuff that leads to big throws. Sets up his passes on move with creative footwork. Has good mechanics still working on putting it all together. You can tell he's still trying to tie in feet, hips & release together. Can switch up his arm angles and speed/arc.
Good whip. Flick of wrist for 40-50. Plenty of strength and velocity not a super cannon but more than good enough and strength can improve. Can reach far hash to boundaries. Drop it in a bucket. Live arm. Accurate. Touch. Placement.
Supposedly a film nut. Has been known watch himself to improve and his opponents. Other QB's. Has the body, arm, looks. Seemingly work ethic and drive.
Love his confidence and speed he plays with. I think you can do a lot with him. Tempo. Misdirection. I think he fits in a few different systems. Can run a few different things.
Played hurt last year. Will be 22 by the start of next season so he could easily sit if you wanted to put together a better situation than you might have or want him to watch a vet. Age matters a little and he still has a year imo. I want my QB to be taking over by 24 so hes on a good pace. I think he could play as long as you have a OL and creative offense.
Hes really made the most of this year. Really ceased the moment so far. I know some teams will love him.
I think I might have been the first to bring up Lawrence and Fields years ago and mentioned they're closer than most think. I really think NFL teams will see it that way as well. Fields has been dynamite even though Lawrence has been something we've never seen before.
Some teams might prefer Fields. Some teams might prefer Lance or Wilson. Than you have guys like Ridder. Jurkovec and others. It could be a great class. If I'm a QB with high stock and eligible. I'm coming out. Uncertainty will still remain and teams always want QB's.
Plus better for us!
*Edit*
BYU has a few OL'm that could end up here. They've been great this year from T to T. I could see us with any of them.
