Russell Wilson

These are the QBs that Canales has worked with as Pass Game Coordinator, QB Coach, and OC. I get the feeling he prefers pocket QBs.

Was he involved in the decisions to draft any of those guys? Because if not then that assumption has no basis.

No but Dan Morgan had a hand in a few.

I am thinking he wasn't a big influence in QB evaluation given his background. I wouldn't lean on him for that personally.

Out of that list though, it isn't about who decided to draft them. It is about the track record after coming to the NFL and how they are viewed potential wise going forward. An under the radar guy that we could get without mortgaging too much fits our situation right now, probably. 

I read some Bucs stuff while looking for the Canales and Mayfield narrative and came across some reporting on Canales comments and also fan and media opinions that the competition in preseason/camp 2023 was very close between Trask and Mayfield. So it might be something to keep in mind. We're gonna need a backup maybe.

Also I remember someone saying that when he came in here there was talk of them wanting to pursue Lock. 

Don't shoot the messenger I am just relaying what I read. I don't know poo about either player.

I think the Lock talk was just wild assumptions just because he worked with him. Grasping at straws kinda thing to be the first to report something that could happen.

I am not going to look for what I saw but it was specific to Dan and Dave, so maybe it was kind of real? It was mentioned, I think, that he had already decided to sign wherever the hell he signed and it wasn't an option. It was likely for a backup job anyway, I would guess. Considering the situation they inherited.

Just a tidbit though I am surely not invested in the idea.

This is how a real professional QB reacts to being benched.

 

So they really benched him. Wilson must better than I figured, I wanted nothing to do with him.

I do have to say, Young said something similar. Like, the ball touches my hands every play... and that he didn't play well enough or something close to it.

Benching Fields is going to backfire.

 

Wilson isn't exactly a great team guy either. If he doesn't play well players could turn on him quick.

 

 

Maybe it will help him. Although I really don't know why but if Wilson is benched it might, to go play knowing the job is yours.

You love some TMac! I think we do defense with our first, but I’d be good with TMac. I haven’t seen a WR his size move like that in a while.  

I'm an Arizona alum with a realistic shot of seeing our best player in school history get drafted by my NFL team as we're going to have a shot to take him and he fits a long term major need of ours that we haven't been able to solve, so yea, I'm gonna keep pushing it lol.

But it's like you said, his size and speed/agility combination is just so rare on it's own, when you add the crazy catches he's able to make, he's going to be one the guys pushing to be considered a Top 5 WR in the league by his second contract.  You just don't find those kind of guys very easily, in fact, I could make the argument that a WR like that is maybe the 2nd hardest thing to find in the league besides a QB.

WRs drafted in the middle rounds don't become those type of WRs, but pass rushers, offensive lineman, DBs, all end up seeing 2nd-4th rounders end up as true stars.

You find possession and deep threat WRs in those middle rounds, but not the true elite outside WRs like T-Mac is going to be in this league, and when they have his size, you don't find those guys anywhere outside of a Top 10 draft pick.  You can find WRs like Hunter or Burden later in the 1st or even in the 2-4 round area of the draft, smaller but deadly fast/quick WRs, so I just can't see any argument for taking either over T-Mac for any team.

    • How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.
    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
