Zach Wilson is a Bum!

Dude....not just a double heel click, a triple.  A triple heel click on a roll out, in practice, no pads, no defenders. 

It's bonkers that these "experts" dont even see this, at all.

I am not sure I can think of a less important indicator of arm strength than the furthest distance a pass traveled in the air.  Who rightly gives a ****?  It's not how far the ball goes, it's how fast it gets there. There is quite a difference between stepping up and heavinng it and dropping back an ripping a deep out.   FWIW, I am sure that Wilson's arm is fine, but the ball does not seem to fly out of his hand like Fields to me.  I am not complaining about his arm, but it doesn't seem like a cannon to me.   

I guess people see what they want to see. Wilson to my eye has the most explosive arm on outs in this class.

what trait does he possess that's above average?

and show your work 

headband: 99 

He is above average in fact well above average in almost everything. Pick any game tape and watch it. Seriously WTF. You don't have to like him but saying he is below average in skillset is just completely idiotic and continued trolling

The lack of footwork is positively Darnoldian 

The Jets love to find guys who only perform from unstable platforms. I don't think we've seen a guy with actual footwork since Chad. 

It's unreal.  The Rodgers/Mahomes effect.   Except, they are the 2 most physically gifted QB's I've ever seen, which double heel click Wilson is nowhere near....but Fields on the other hand....freak.

lol  but that arm bro, the platforms.

To me Wilson has the the better arm, quicker release and more ease in his throwing motion.

What you notice, too, is that he throws a lot of “off platform” stuff from clean pockets. No pressure on him and he bails from a pocket the size of a circus tent and then throws it sidearm. The Matt Millers of the world go “wow mahomes throws sidearm too!”

Just watched it again and again, not only does he do the double heel click you see on film but you even seen the drifting as well.  Check his posture after the throw.  He might blow an ACL out just throwing the ball.  To do all the clicking and then to go stiff and fad...yikes.

100%.  That's why I dont get this "magician" sh*t that Simms said...what "magician"?  He's throwing from the cleanest pockets, literally I've ever seen vs. defense that are clueless and terrible. 

But as you see above, both things I hate about his game from a mechanics standpoint this is just danger at the next level show up on this little clip; double heel click and he drifts after his release...oh and I just looked it again, the other thing I hate, he holds the ball below his waist before he winds up.  All huge red flags to next level transition...but those platforms, bro.  Could turn a mean double play.

he's below average in height, speed, arm strength, film, injury history 

i mean, how many different ways can we judge a prospect? 

this is not a troll job I honestly want to know what's so world class about Zach Wilson 

he's good. He's like a real player, despite his lack of ideal gifts

2 overall is ideal gifts land

What I want to see?  Let me go snipe some scounting report instead of watching.   I heard about his great arm, watched the clips and" wasn't particularly impressed.  Not that I see something wrong, I am just not seeing "explosive."  Fields seems to have more pop to me, though I can see why people aren't in love with him.

Weirdly, the majority of analysts disagree with you when it comes to arm strength, film, injury history.

I find it odd that someone would think I am putting down his arm because I am "seeing what I want to see."   After 2018, just being a douche with a face you don't like (Rosen) is enough to be a world class bust.

i was full bore for Rosen .. i was convinced that dude had arm talent.  I still think Fields has a quicker release than fields and a more polished game.

I have no idea about Wilson. Some pretty credible people who have a track record of being correct on quarterback evaluations (ex Chris Simms) have him ranked above Trevor Lawrence. Several others have him as the 4th or 5th best QB in this class.

I have no clue....but I hope the Jets do.

I get your point and agree.  OTOH, nobody threw the ball 100 yards.  I think Nagle supposedly threw it 60 from his knees IIRC.

I watched it, through to a Jet.  He was standing in one EZ and got it into the other, on a fly.

They got into this after Trawtwig talked about him throwing from his knees from the 50 through the goalposts as part of his warmup in school.  Which he also did at Hofstra along with the EZ-EZ pass for MSG , it was scary impressive.

Like you said, means not a thing.  Watson tested worse than a Chad like arm.  I'll take him

Fields hits his man out of bounds. See if you recognize the bystander signaling “incomplete”

It may be nothing, or it may be next level douchery. I can’t tell.

And eyesight and a brain isnt an insult.

You need to see with your eyes and think with your brain.  Telling someone you need to use your eyes and brain isnt insulting.  Especially when I was talking about me, no one else.  You said the praise was groupthink, I said eyes and brain.   Relax

Wilson played all last season.  What is it with you?  Clearly anyone who watched the kid a year ago came away impressed with his arm.  You dont like him, fine, tell us you dont.  Just dont come up with nonsense about his arm.  Ever wonder why the entire thread is littered telling you you need to watch? Ever wonder why PFF said Wilson threw the longest pass of the year?  

Hype machine jumped for Burrow.  Hype machine jumped for Herbert.  Mahomes too.

Josh allen struggled a ton when his Wyoming team faced tougher competition. 

Tua looked great when his bama team faced inferior competition. Tua was passing to wide open NFL talent while facing garbage secondaries.

I think the lesson here is that evaluating college QBs is a little more complex and you can't just look at his production vs good teams and then ignore the lopsided lack of talent he was playing with 

 

 

Josh Allen was also 6'5", 230lbs, fast and had maybe the best arm I've ever seen on film. Can you say the same things about Wilson?

Zach (all the college QBs) hasn’t played a down in the NFL so you no idea if he is or isn’t. 

This is my post of the week.... so far. It is only Monday, however, you’re completely accurate. The transition to the NFL  from college is huge. You got a better chance at winning at the Casino crap tables than picking a QB in the draft. Where’s Wenz, Trubisky, Rosen, Goff, Johnny Manzell, etc, etc, etc...... I could go on and on. Many get so high on  college QBs and most don’t pan out. Hell the Jets picked Jamal Adam’s and left Mahomes on the board. One thing is for sure, ya just don’t know whose going to transition successfully from a college QB to an NFL QB.

It's hard to evaluate film vs such poor opposition. He looked good during a Covid year vs nobodies 

side note Joe Burrow didn't make it through the season healthy. that's the real comparison not Mahomes because the Jets aren't picking 10th

unless TL somehow falls, i'm against all the QBs at 2 

it's the rarest pick this team has had for decades 

and the Jets would probably ruin TL as well. They need a QB they just can't support the QB yet. Zach Wilson is a coinflip and so is Fields. They should be doing better than a coinflip at 2 overall

Zach Wilson is Josh Allen without the arm and the frame. Josh Allen is built like a brown bear. 

so what exactly is Josh Allen without the arm and size? A polite Johnny Manziel?

I agree with the opposition point, I'm not totally sold on Wilson.  But I understand the love

We’ve seen QB prospects get over hyped before but, this Wilson hype is approaching all new levels.  

I thought Allen was bad when he went from a day 2 guy to 1stOA without taking a snap during the 2017 offseason - but this obscene. There’s actually a cluster of humans calling hIm QB1
