I would really like to see him on the field..... I was never a Wilson fan but im willing to give him a chance... so far its been less tha ok for me ..... the height issue i think its a real problem. Every pass he throws is high and never in the middle so all he does is throw to the sidelines or goes deep, never a quik slant wich would be great to see on 3rd and short for example....
Really don't know where to start with this... there's so much...
OK - first of all, the game plan on offense for this team has been obvious for two and a half seasons now. Carroll/Bevell/Cable want to run the ball and make it the heart of the offense. The passing game is used to make quick strikes using play action or bootlegs. It's no great mystery. When you see Wilson going deep more often than not that is the call. I'm guessing you didn't have too many issues with this when he was throwing bombs against New England? He's not being asked to throw slants very often. In fact, when he threw a perfect slant to Golden Tate against San Francisco, Tate dropped it. Perfect pass and play call, receiver blows it.
Wilson threw high about three times in the first two weeks and hasn't thrown high since. He's corrected that quicker than anyone expected. There is very little evidence recently to suggest height is an issue so far. He's finding throwing lanes, he's making plays downfield. He's among the league's best for tipped passes - in fact much taller QB's have got worse records here. He had an issue staying in the pocket vs St. Louis but has done a much better job against Carolina, New England and San Fran since.
Your post is like a throwback to week one - the first bout of knee jerk reactions.
