Watching Zach Wilson play reminds me EXACTLY of Corral

It isn’t logical but why does the OL matter in this case? Corral was playing against people who were cut as well. I don’t see the OP’s comparison at all, but one thing I will agree on is that Corral did look awful and like he didn’t belong out there. After watching Wilson last night (off today so watched every minute), I will say that he did remind me of Corral in preseason just in that both didn’t look like they had “it” when you watched them play.

To @hepcat’s post, I agree that Wilson’s arm and draft workout had some amazing throws and that’s what elevated him. It would be like PJ Walker making that once in a lifetime Hail Mary throw to DJ in the Atlanta game during his draft workout and becoming pick #2 instead of a late or later round pick because of the throw. I remember all my tank for Trevor posts and I always considered Fields as our consolation prize at pick 2 because until those crazy workout videos, I didn’t even know Wilson or Lance were considered that high.

Tanking for trevor would have been insanely easy for us but rhules going rhule

There’s no doubt in my mind we take a QB. While I disagree with Fitterer not taking the Burns trade, people have a point that he’s fighting for his job and doesn’t want picks he may not make. In that same vein, Fitterer is not going into a decision year on his job with Corral as his QB.

Those picks would have helped if we wanted to move up in this draft

It really should have been and with the gutted years Rhule dealt with at Temple and Baylor, I thought for sure that’s they way he’d go and the stars were aligned. We had our Weinke/Clausen in Grier, we had a ton of leaving vets to get 4 comp picks including a 3rd for Bradberry (we should have kept him over Shaq, thanks Marty), we had a ton of cap space off the books in Cam with the chance to roll it over until we’re competitive because we spent to the limit in the prior years and we had the unique opportunity to get Trevor at a time where Brees and Brady will retire and Ryan gets older.

It honestly was perfect timing. The biggest problem was we hired the wrong coach and still has Marty. I have no doubt that those two idiots never had the foresight to come up with a real plan. 

Please man please don't get me started on that.   But the absolute biggest thing is that nobody would have cared.  Rhule would have had a gimme year and nobody would have batted an eye lash even if we went winless.   But that stupid motherfuger thought he could win year 1 with a poo roster.   fug rhule

Wilson is a prime example that you can't fix what's between the ears. The guy has legit top tier physical talent but he doesn't have a QB's mind. You can't fix it.

This, his aloof attitude and inability to personally take blame for playing terrible is a huge red flag as well.

There's very well a connection there. I can't imagine he's very coachable or does much if any self reflection about his play and how to improve it. 

Darnold has the same mental problem in that his brain just doesn't function like a QB. But he's developing into a decent game manager and very well may end up having a long career as a backup because he's willing to be that game manager and he has a good attitude and he's a good guy in the locker room. He's becoming everything you want in a vet backup. Now do Zach Wilson...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
