some team is going to get a heck of a QB in this kid. wish it was us
|
I love Tyler Wilson and I'm an Arkansas Alumni(full disclosure :)). This kid will/could start day 1. Arkansas as a team and the coaching situation had a ton of problems this year. What you don't see in the highlight video is the beating that Wilson took this year and last year. I've been impressed with his toughness, arm, and surprising scrambling speed when he needs it. He had to do that a lot this year with only one real other offensive threat(Hamilton) and no defense.
I would be very happy if the Chiefs drafted him..Had Arkansas made it to a decent bowl game, he would without a doubt be the #1 pick. Let Reid bring Geno and Wilson in for a workout and see what they think :) |

If we do take a QB w/ the #1 pick it better be Tyler Wilson and not Geno ****ing Smith.

I have been a Tyler Wilson skeptic for pretty much ever...However, I've been watching a LOT of game film on him this past week and well....... I'd be a blithering liar if I were to say this guy isn't growing on me. Intangibles.

2 concussions |
Quote:
EDIT: found an article about it "Arkansas’ 52-3 rout of New Mexico hardly cracked the front page news on a Saturday filled with finer games (outside of the greater Fayetteville area, of course), but the No. 14 Razorbacks did suffer a little bit of an injury scare with quarterback Tyler Wilson in the first half against the Lobos. Just before halftime, Wilson scrambled for a 7-yard touchdown run and was hit hard at the goal line. While initially appearing to be fine, coach Bobby Petrino said Wilson exhibited concussion-like symptoms a short while later. “At halftime, we noticed when we were going through the script of how we were going to start out, that he didn’t have the exact focus that we’d like,” Petrino said. “So we notified the trainer and he had symptoms of a concussion. I don’t know if he had a concussion or not, but he did have symptoms and you know how we go about that nowadays, so he was held out the second half.” Not that Wilson’s return was pertinent; the Razorbacks were leading 31-3 at the half courtesy of Wilson’s touchdown run. Wilson later returned to the sidelines about midway through the third quarter, but didn’t play the rest of the game. It’s uncertain at this time if Wilson actually has a concussion, but UA plays Troy in Week 3, so Petrino’s staff could err on the side of safety before the Hogs travel to Alabama on Sept. 24." |
Although I'm on the geno train, drafting Wilson in the first would be alright by me.

With the NFL cracking down on head injuries, two concussions should definitely be a concern. Also, I seriously doubt that all FBS QB's have experienced 1-3 concussions during their career. Head injuries are nothing to mess around with. |

Want to draft Geno, but now with Andy Reid, Id be satisfied with Wilson too.

TE Chris Gragg will also be a good pickup for someone in the mid to late rounds...he was a matchup nightmare when he was healthy |

Geno and Barkley both skipping Sr. Bowl. Good decisions. Neither wants to throw side by side with Tyler Wilson and get shown up. |

Why do so many Geno fans come off as if they are threatened....?
I thought it was clear [On this board] that Geno is head and shoulders above Wilson? |

I hope Tyler separates himself. Some QB needs to

This board is completely polarized. On pretty much every subject. Don't worry about it, it will all come out in the wash. I like Wilson and would love to have him. |

If anyone has any doubts about Tyler Wilson, this will answer it. Down 35-17 at half and the kid didn't flinch at all. Watching this makes me laugh at the morons who say that Tannehill is just as good of a prospect as any QB in this draft. LMAO |

The case for Tyler Wilson: This is why the Chiefs will select him No. 1 overall
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/1...raft-pick-2013 A couple of weeks ago I wrote the case for Geno Smith as the Kansas City Chiefs No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. I added a few GIFs in the post thanks to Clay Wendler and it went over pretty well. Some like Geno, some don't, but we all agree that a new QB is in the plans for next season. Smith is still my top choice of quarterbacks in the Draft. But that doesn't mean that he's the only guy that I like. The case for Tyler Wilson in 2013 When talking about Wilson's season at Arkansas this past year it's safe to say he's dealt with a certain type of adversity. The controversy surrounding former Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino and his dismissal from the University would be enough to determine what kind of person you're dealing with in Wilson. Read about some of the things that Wilson did to keep that team together in the fallout of the Petrino controversy. There have been multiple occasions in the past couple of weeks when Wilson stood up in front of the team and spoke at times when the floor would normally have belonged to Bobby Petrino. One of those came at the edge of the tunnel before the Razorbacks ran onto the field. What did he tell his teammates? "Let's continue to roll the ball down the hill." This is one small example of many leadership qualities shown by Wilson in the time right after the Petrino scandal broke. Obviously the season didn't go the way that Arkansas had hoped but that wasn't totally on Tyler Wilson. More: Latest mock draft. Coming into the season Wilson had to deal with losing his top two targets from 2011, Jairus Wright and Joe Adams, who both went to the NFL. Then the whole mess in losing Bobby Petrino AND having to deal with John L. Smith. Fair to say it was going to be an uphill battle for Wilson either way this season. I went back and watched eight games from Tyler Wilson from the past two seasons. I watched every throw. 1. You won't find a tougher quarterback in the country than Tyler Wilson. Period. He consistently would hang in the pocket and take highlight-reel-type hits while delivering the ball down the field. The leadership and toughness aspect of Wilson's game is important. He grades out well in those areas and those who know him very highly of his football IQ. He's a student of the game and 'gets it' for lack of a better way to explain. This toughness does come with a cost though, and the two reported concussions (one of which kept him out of the Alabama game this season) are something that will be brought up as we get closer to the Draft. 2. His arm-strength is unquestioned. He has a dynamic arm and is every bit of a 'gunslinger'. The Brett Favre comparisons are apt in this case because he believes he can make every throw out there at any time. Since this is the Show Me State, let me show you what Wilson can do. Tyler Wilson Vs. Tulsa. This play will tell you a lot about Tyler Wilson. He will hang in the pocket and deliver a strike downfield -- even if it means he's going to get crushed. These are the types of throws that endear yourself to your teammates, coaches and scouts. You can't watch this play and not believe in the guy under center for your team. It's 3rd-and-3 with eight minutes left in the game when you're up by four. This ball traveled ~ 35 yards in the air, on a line, with an absolute hammer of a hit on the end. This is a game-winning type throw. Tyler Wilson Vs. LSU This was Wilson's bread and butter at Arkansas. The shallow cross. It didn't matter if it was Jairus Wright ('11) or Cobi Hamilton ('12), this was their go-to play. Wilson became very good at throwing this pass from all different angles and with all kinds of footwork. It did lead to inconsistencies with accuracy on these passes but it was still their go-to play. This exemplifies the functional arm-strength that Wilson possesses. It's one thing to just be able to throw a ball far on a deep fly-route -- that's important, don't get me wrong -- but functional arm-strength is getting the ball to a spot quickly enough to avoid the defensive back or getting it to the receiver with enough room to make a move. The ball gets there fast enough so Hamilton has space to make a move on the defensive back and pick up extra yardage. Tyler Wilson Vs. Mississippi State This play gives you an example of Wilson extending a play and delivering a strike. As you know this is something we RARELY saw over the past few seasons in Kansas City. Progressions, awareness, athleticism, arm-strength, it's all on display right here. This is your long touchdown pass. Wilson does have the ability to put some touch on his passes. It's not something I saw often but this is a good example of putting it up and letting his receiver go and make a play. Toughness and arm-strength are the two takeaways here. Mechanics One question is Wilson's "corkscrew" delivery and action he makes with his lower-half. It's not much different than what you see from pitchers as they close off their front-half to create 'torque' and power before exploding open. This creates a lot of his power but it's also very hard to replicate play after play, which leads to accuracy problems. There's no doubt he's working on it but it's one thing mechanically that kind of jumps out about Wilson. This post is more about what Wilson can do rather than what he can't do. We'll get into what they don't do well more as the Draft approaches. I'd be happy if Tyler Wilson becomes a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. I have my preferences as we all do but the Chiefs need to get better at the position and there's a lot to like about Tyler Wilson. The toughness and leadership he's demonstrated during his time at Arkansas is something you want around your team. He has the kind of dynamic arm that allows him to make passes that NO other quarterback in this draft can make. Something he tries to prove it too often. Add him to the short list of guys that could be starting for Kansas City next season. |
On board. I keep flip-flipping on Geno but have always liked Tyler. I'm on record. Wilson will have a better career.
|
I can agree with that statement Rudy assuming this past year hasn't done serious physical or even mental issues for Ty. He really got the crap beat out of him this past season.
|
We're not drafting Tyler Wilson or Geno Smith.
Depressing to think that the ONLY TIME IN HISTORY we've had the #1 overall pick and we're going to get either OT or DT. |
I'm surprised Wilson isn't ranked higher by the "experts". Most of them don't have him in their top 32 players.

Jake, Steven, and Nate ALL just said "if there's a guy there that you think is top 10, you take him at #1". Thank God there's some sane people on the radio. They just said Tony Paulino is a moron - if Geno can go at #5, he can go at #1. |

Coach Reid is trying to put together a good coaching staff. That is taking up all his time I am sure. After the FO is taken care of I am sure the answers to some of these draft questions he is being asked will take a turn and give us a better warm 'n Fuzzy
|
Really Smith and Wilson are the ONLY two QB's I'm quite comfortable with.
Not totally sold on Glennon yet and don't like Bray's maturity, Barkley is meh/takes to many chances with decent abilities or Jones lack of big game poise. |

I've been on the Geno bandwagon, but Tyler has always been a close 2nd to me. I would be thrilled if he were drafted at #1. I will let the coach figure out which one is the best for the Chiefs and I'll be buying the jersey that day. |

He said Reid may not feel like he HAS to draft a QB at #1. I said there aren't any reasonable scenarios that I can think of that justify passing on a QB with our first and ONLY #1 overall pick. |

I've just heard too much. I feel defeated. I honestly think we're gonna draft Joeckel. |
