GeraldGarner Playmaker

Lazy regurgitation of tropes, hardly any research and never original thinking.

Good ones do exist, but becoming more and more rare. The ones who don’t suck are usually independent.

Would you consider Wilson's season "inconsistent with flashes of brilliance"?

Absolutely no. This is how you know you can disregard whatever this writer says about anything

He also has Mac Jones 5th QB at #14, and Parsons from Penn St at #15.

Also the fact he's employeed by Yahoo

Yahoo's still around. Wow.

2020? LOL no

CommodoreCoug

2019 absolutely, but describing his 2020 season like that is asinine

ZacSeljaas'Stache

Yep, previous seasons he was inconsistent but we saw the talent.

I truly believe the excuse that his shoulder was jacked up in 2019.

The easy response to criticisms of Wilson and BYU's schedule:

If there were a bunch of G5 QBs putting up 200 efficiencies against G5 teams, then they might have a point

Indy Coug

That's conflating multiple years of play with his 12 most recent games

Indy Coug

If you take his whole career, there is some truth. But "flashes of brilliance" is an understatement

Adrielle

4/19/21 10:04am

if "inconsistent" means brilliance in every game of the season, then YES.

Avery

Maybe that is it. Inconsistently bad.

ochobeeguy

4/19/21 11:10am

Nope. 2019 was solid with flashes of inconsistency.

I get some of the critiques from analysts outside the BYU loop. They're not

His 2020 passes were consistently on-target and on-a-rope more so than I have

Analysis aside, I really like how his mock goes. It makes a lot of sense

Alpi Gusto

Unfortunately this won't be able to be disputed until 2 years into his pro caree

BYU Grounds

4/19/21 10:48am

I think we can dispute today that he had one of the most consistent years ever.

Journalism in all topics now suffers from using the Internet as a source.

Here's Wilson's passing efficiency rating (PER) against opponents defensive passing efficiency.

Season!?!?! No... Career? Absolutely...

Pretty broad stroke there, big guy

Alpi Gusto

The advantage of having a lot of of info is being able to make generalizations

GeraldGarner

4/19/21 2:10pm

Consistently brilliant with flashes of being mortal

KingDave

4/19/21 1:58pm

As a career, yes.

vandalcoug

But if your whole last year is great, there is no longer inconsistency.

I can think of at least 20 people who went there just today.

Fields is "easily the 2nd best quarterback in the class", yet rated #3
