Thoughts at halftime...

Wilson is definitely accurate with a quick release and a decent athlete. I don't see him being a huge running threat in the NFL, but he'll be able to buy time with his legs and he has enough running ability to keep a defense honest. His arm isn't bad but it isn't great either. Probably fairly average for an NFL QB. Those sideline balls take a long time to get there. Like most elite QB talents, he tends to hold the ball too long sometimes and that leads to some bad sacks. That bit him in the ass on that last play if the half. Can't stand back there and hold the ball that long with the click ticking. Gotta give your team an opportunity to kick a FG if the endzone opportunity isn't there. Holding the ball until time expires and then throwing short of the endzone just wasn't great game management there.

So far, I haven't fallen in love but I'm also not seeing any major red flags so far. I wish there were more opportunities to see him vs. decent completion this year.

Okay, the team struggled to put up points in a rain filled game. However, looking at his numbers, King did not struggle. Also, Virginia can be tough, the following week they beat a good NC team.

They didn't win due to defense though. Howell lit them up like a Christmas tree.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
