I just can't get excited about Wilson.  I don't trust BYU products at all.  Fields threw a couple bad passes, but he still made plays...  reminded me a lot of Cam having all of the responsibility to make something happen.

The way I see it is Wilson is doing more with less against bad competition. Fields is doing less with more against good competition. Where that leaves us? Well I don’t know.

If you factor in last seasons film, Fields has done more against much better competition than BYU has played. Wilson had three games last year with 0 touchdown passes and 2 interceptions. One of which was their bowl game against Hawaii. He only had three games last season where he didn’t throw a pick. The year before he had 3 games with no touchdown passes at all. I’ll ignore his first game where he only threw two passes. 
 

Fields only has three games his whole career where he threw an INT. 
 

Fields was human in this game but he’s been lights out the previous three to the tune of basically 280 passing yards a game, 4 touchdowns a game and completing just under 90% of his passes. That isn’t doing less with more.

What's the knock on BYU QBs? Historically they've had pretty good success at the position. They just haven't really had any high level NFL QB prospects in awhile.

I dislike the whole argument of “kid goes to Y school so he can’t be a good pro”. That’s not a good way to judge prospects at all. The only knock on BYU this year is the same as Trey Lance faced last year and this year: They don’t play anybody all year long. So you’ll judge based off of skills and not results, or judge them off of one game to end the year. It’s sucks.

Jeremy Chinn may win rookie of the year and was playing for a nothing school this time last year. Couldn’t agree with you more.

I’m afraid that Fields might just be another Deshaun Watson. Looks good but can’t single handily win you a game when it’s needed most. Wilson might not be spectacular and from a smaller school but could be special in the NFL. 

Lol what?  One of the silliest things I’ve read in awhile

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
