Well, well, well. Zach Wilson is playing Coastal Carolina on Saturday 12/5 at 5:30 PM ESPNU.

I'm worried about it with a Top 10 pick.

If he's there in the 2nd round with that arm, sure, roll the dice. With a premium pick, I don't want to see the ball float that much. Especially with his backyard play style.

This^^^^
He looks rattled out there...just not seeing a Top 10 pick and franchise QB.  But, it is only one game.

Yikes. Hurdling on 3rd and 30, then getting in a shoving match after it. 
 

color me completely underwhelmed. 

I don’t mind seeing it from him. Twice today Coastal has been hitting him very late and should have been flagged and it wasn’t.

To be fair, Coastal defenders have been giving Wilson extra shoves all night, and at the end of the first half, a couple of them tried to bury him after he threw an interception on a hail mary. While I'm unimpressed with Wilson, I've been disgusted by CC's constant extra BS. They clearly feel disrespected. Fine. Best way to answer that is to win.

I'm not impressed with Wilson. Coastal has shut him down, for the most part. App. St. did better against Coastal. He looks shell-shocked. Likely because he hasn't faced even a mediocre defense this year. He's overrated.

He is also surrounded with BYU talent. Very similar to Lance in that the competition wasn’t great, but neither was the talent around him. Fields, Trask, and Lawrence all have way more talent around them than their competition (for most games). This is why the draft is always a gamble. Then you have to question how well the BYU and NDSU staff has prepared and developed them. Oregon apparently was holding Herbert back. Fields, Lawrence, Lance, and Wilson all seem to have NFL arms with good leadership skills. If one is available when our number is called, they are worth the risk in my book. I might need to see more of Trask before I’m sold on him...

Wilson has made a couple of very impressive throws, but he looks rattled...by Coastal Carolina. What would Alabama's defense do to him? Sure, he's got a nice arm, but if he doesn't have mental toughness, I want no part of him. Certainly not in the first round.

BTW, Tennessee came hard after Trask, but he never looked remotely bothered. I'm not sold on him necessarily, but in terms of an eye test, he's far more NFL ready than Wilson, imo.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
