You’d think both Saleh and Douglas would sit Wilson as a hedge to buy some time for themselves to pull the roster together. If they’re infatuated with his skill set, cool, they have him on the roster. But they can’t look at him physically or look at his level of competition and feel like they have to run him out there on Day One for any reason. It’d be malfeasance.

T0mShane Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 5 minutes ago, redlichtie said: I disagree that he’s not physically ready to survive in the league, 6-2 215 is plenty sturdy enough to play QB in the NFL(he’s a whole 1lb heavier than Lawrence who’s a stick insect out there) where I do agree is there is zero harm in sitting him to begin with and building a cohesive unit around him first. There’s a reason Mahomes hit the ground running the way he did and it wasn’t just his talent, the situation was perfect for him. Bridgewater would make a ton of sense here, wonder if Carolina parts with him post draft depending on how things shake out?. His contract seems to make him staying with the Panthers the overriding likelihood but we have the cap to take it on and perhaps the Panthers accept a favourable trade. I get that he weighed 215, but not all 215’s are the same, especially when the dude has already had labrum issues. The guy needs to add some upper body mass in the worst way, and it’s also curious that no one has clocked him running a 40 because of some lingering hamstring problem(?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he’s really good and should play. He’s also 6”2 210 and will easily bulk up to 215 by seasons start, I don’t see the issue there. I think it will come down to the schedule. If we open up with a bunch of division games I’d sit him. But if the cupcake part of the schedule (defensively) is early in the season- you have to start him IMO.

Yep and the other factor, the only example I cant think of legit in my lifetime of a rookie HC and rookie QB being paired together and working is Jimmy Johnson and Troy Aikman. I highly prefer Fields and Lance, I'd want both of them on the bench to start the season, if not the entire year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can’t look at him physically or look at his level of competition and feel like they have to run him out there on Day One for any reason. It’d be malfeasance. It just makes so much sense. Get stability on the offensive line, let the run game get rolling, buy yourself a year to add a little more talent and have a primary passing game option... I know the talent on the team looks better, the WR depth chart is an improvement, but it’s all still bad. And all of the guys who have been successful as young QB’s have had a legitimate go to guy in the passing game. I realize it won’t happen but man if Pitts slides go trade 23, 34, and Carolina’s second next year to go get him. Meinerz and Kendrick Green in the third round. Kick McGovern to guard. Dayo Odeyingbo, Buddy Johnson, Ben Mason, Nick Niemann, and Kene Nwangwu day three. Got the primary passing game option, remade the interior of the offensive line, added two fast linebackers, a fullback, a running back with wheels who plays special teams, and a big athletic edge prospect, didn’t break the day three captain rule, and still have two first round picks next year to keep building the roster. Sign Steven Nelson if you feel like you need a corner and Mullens to take a beating while the line gels. Start of a football team. My one genuine hope for Douglas and Saleh and this scheme in general is that they stop spending early draft capital on stupid positions - particularly ones the staff should be able to identify and develop. Linebacker this year is a great one. Pretty sure they have no long-term answer and there are a bunch of day three captains who can run. Bring in a couple of those guys and show me they can be starters this year or next. This GM run has been so, so bad that we’re not used to the Jets developing starters with those day three picks...but that’s what good franchises do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, no history of shoulder surgery. In what video I've seen of Wilson vs. Tennessee, looks like a scared rabbit. We're going for the car crash.
