I get it, Wilson has had a great season playing against less than stellar opponents. That being said, looking back if he ended up at Utah as he wished, we’d all be talking about how great he is and how he will be a great pro. He has a big arm, runs well and has a lot of upside. Personally I think we (Utah football) really missed out on recruiting/signing him.

I’ve watched him play. He gets rattled easily. Wilson is good but not great.

another thing that is critical to be a good NFL QB is the ability to go through receiver progressions. I’ve heard (and this is clearly beyond my arm chair analytic capabilities) that Wilson has/had trouble with that. This years byu schedule didn’t help improve that.
I think this is part of the reason he will struggle. He might have the physical gifts and be able to make the ‘NFL throws’ but if he hasn’t been taught by now, it’ll be hard to get him up to speed on reading defenses better, recognizing disguises, going through his reads, and making the right decisions. He gets rattled and panics and might scramble or force a throw with his physical talents which increases turnovers which will get him yanked. And that’s if he proves it during practice and eventually sees the field. This year, he could generally stare down his receiver and the defenses of the teams he played were outmatched so he could get away with it. Many of his long balls were underthrown but his receivers went and got them. All of it just doesn’t bode well for seeing the field let alone succeeding unless he takes what he can get which would turn him into a game manager (which is fine too), but he will try to force it to prove himself as a star his mom tells him he is.

none of us know (even the guys paid big money to make those picks), that’s sort of the beauty of it.
in my hood it was “Mississippi’s” not “alligators” and it was a minimum if 4, sometimes as much as 6

You should have tried the fumblerooski.
this topic has the potential to be a great thread
I say this clearly aware that my wife is much smarter than me and that enough time has passed that any trouble I could get into for mentioning should be minimal. Years ago we lived in some apartments downtown not far from the U while my wife was going to graduate school. It was a big complex with 300+ apartments. I had a plunger and was trying to unclog a sink and was having some trouble. My wife called the apartment manager and told them we needed some plumbing service and then confidently mentioned that thought thought it was an issue with our septic tank?
Classic.
Its not like my wife grew up on a farm in Randolph, she grew up in Sandy.
I have dropped that line here and there over the years at opportune times just to keep our marriage fresh. And when I mean fresh I mean taking a break from physical intimacy.

I think Wilson will do well. If he doesn’t that’s fine too. Either way, he’ll be eating steak for awhile.
My question is where will Sam Howell land after next year? If he isn’t the second coming of Baker Mayfield then I don’t know who is. That kid can do whatever the football term is for balling-out.
Wilson did not play for the U, however, in the two games he played in against the Utes he threw more TD passes to utes than to cougars. In a small way, he has benefited us.

Wilson’s TD pass to Blackmon in 2018 was HUGE, I’m not sure we win that game without it, we were down several key players and needed someone to step up.
i wish he had stayed. Three years of Tuttle Mash jokes would have been great. I love that show.
btw i think he is over in post op

Yeah, it seems that all of their good DNA went into their arms and there was nothing left to go between their ears.
