I think Wilson's overrated.

I remember when everyone was going nuts about him being a possible late entry to the draft last year. I watched a couple of games he played in and then his bowl game - I wasn't terribly impressed.

Petrino plays a baller system for QBs. It's essentially built to allow a QB to launch it downfield 4-5 times a game and let his WRs run under it.

I didn't see him doing much in terms of progressions or finding holes in defenses. He wasn't looking guys off or firing balls into windows. To me he looked like just another good college QB.

He looks like Jake Locker to me and that's about it. That's not a bad guy to end up with, but I don't see him as a star caliber player by any stretch.

I respect that although I disagree. I see him as a legit franchise QB.

I see where you're coming from, but I also see that he has a level of talent that isn't coachable, not to mention, an absolute cannon for an arm. I saw one pass in the bowl game that went 60 yards on a line. I don't even think Cassel can throw 60 yards period, whether the less on a line.

Horrible comparison, IMO. Locker is much more mobile, tends to run more often (Wilson not at all) and is a significantly less accurate passer than Wilson. Tyler is strictly a pocket guy, whereas Locker is best used by rolling him out of the pocket. This is done to help compensate for his struggles going through his progressions in the pocket.

Locker never even completed over 58% of his passes in a season. Wilson completed 63% in his first full season as a starter and had a better TD/INT ratio, as well as a higher YPA.

Inb4 people posting about how Wilson has completed only 58% 2 & 1/2 games into the season.
