Very efficient, easy drive capped off by a nice pass.

One thing: Anyone else find Wilson's throwing motion a little weird looking when he throws to the right? 

Throwing to the left or the middle, he looks textbook. To the right, I could be wrong but it looks a little off to me.

I'm disappointed at the zip he has on throws.

He plays a little like Mahomes, except Mahomes can do what he does because he can throw the ball to the moon. I'd classify Wilson's arm strength as average so far.

Looked pretty good on that final throw.

Regardless, a lot of the best quarterbacks in the NFL only have average arm strength, especially the ones who run West Coast systems.

That's not something I'm especially worried about.

For those that aren’t watching, kid is 6-12 for 107 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT through the air. He threw an absolute dime while rolling out to his right on one play. Interception was on a Hail Mary to end the half. It got return about 50 yards. 

Huddlers: well if he throws an int on a hail mary we cant draft him. We have to wait for the next godlike qb prospect to come out. Meanwhile we need to draft a sex pest linebacker in round 1

I should have also written his touchdown pass was a sideline throw and the defender botched the play and didn’t push the receiver out of bounds so he was able to rush the rest of the way in for a TD. And yeah, I don’t want a linebacker in round 1.

Personal Opinion: BYU's playcalling is horse sh-t.

No they don't.

One or two have been a little high but they're not ducks, especially not this quarter.

Not sure why people say what is not true to reinforce a perception they want to establish for some unknown purpose.  I think he is looking decent and I see the skills.  That hail mary, for example, was how long--60 yards?  I was on a phone call.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
