Well that is disappointing to hear but not all that surprising. I assumed he would at least play G for us this season but I am still happy with the Christensen pick. NFL is a massive jump from BYU (Zach Wilson will learn this the hard way) and I still believe there is a lot of upside in pass pro once Christensen gets up to speed. Maybe it takes him a year or two. As long as he is coached up and gets there, thats fine.

Wilson has been getting shredded in the media for consistently practicing poorly so far and was the worst of all the QBs yesterday in front of the fans at their fan fest. I think he was the only one to not get into the end zone and he turned the ball over twice in three drives.

I genuinely did not understand the people gushing of Wilson in this place. He has arm talent for days and thats what everyone fell in love with, but thats just about it right now. We had people saying we should trade three future firsts for him lmao. What nonsense.

I am not saying he won't ever start.

 

I am saying we probably won't see him at all this season.

 

Maybe next season he can push for the LT job.

Still concerning for an older rookie who will be 25 at the start of the season and drafted 70th overall.

You are there and much more in the know than I am, but it seems to me he isn't in Rhules plans as a LT. Sounds like the hope for him is a good Pass Pro RT as Rhule has mentioned his arm size and Moton going to LT. I think if Christensen is there next year, he goes to RT and Moton moves over to the left.

There was a reason Zach Wilson didn't know if he would even be the starting QB going in to this past year... 

Never got the narrative that went on this year with these college QBs this past offseason/leading up to the draft.

Covid made the typical scouting cycle and routine impossible so some people were overhyped and some dealt with crazy prospect fatigue. Wilson has outstanding arm talent but his numbers against teams with losing records compared to teams with winning records probably had the biggest gap between them of all the major QBs in the draft. 
 

He could still ball out. He may break their curse. Normally their QBs look good early and then struggle during the year. Maybe he will be the opposite.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’m an optimist thru and thru. I love any win this team can muster, and Bryce did what he could to keep the team in it, but he’s why the team was out of it to begin with.  I like the guy, but he is not… he’s just not it… and I was swayed by the way he finished last season, but his physical limitations will never be overcome. A one arm tackle stopped him in his tracks en route for 6, among several other plays where an even average starter in the league succeeds.  A franchise QB is supposed to be his own cheat code. Bryce needs a cheat code dude, that is not him, to win. Chuba CARRIED (literally) his ass last season. Thielen bailed him out EVERY game he played in last season. Today: Rico turned in one of the best games in franchise history, Tet was unguardable and put up at least 100 yards on his own (PI yards included),  and the defense basically pitched a shutout after going down big so they could beat one of the worst teams in the NFL.

      Dennis Cox and Chris Lea on performance today

      Rico 10000% saved Bryce Young from being benched for the Dallas game.  The way that game was going there was going to be no way to trot Bryce out next week at home if it kept going like it did.  Bryce probably is safe from bench risk until the next home and home presents itself.    He can’t be playing bad going into that next Atl game and then lay an egg in it.
