BudsOilers Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 The bottom line is that you really don't know what a 22 year old will do when they get life changing money. Clearly, Wilson went completely off the rails. We saw this with others before (Pacman, VY come to mind) but as noted those guys at least saw the field.

It’s my opinion that Wilson is one of the biggest first-round busts ever, because there’s been literally ZERO return on investment. His entire career is literally just four snaps. It’s certainly reasonable to argue that a top-five draft bust is worse since the initial draft value is so much higher. But the fact is, even the biggest busts of all time provided SOME level of ROI. Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf were world-class flops who failed miserably...but even so, they did have *some* positive contributions and won a couple games here and there. Wilson didn’t even do that. His entire NFL career consists of exactly four snaps and zero meaningful plays....which is utterly unprecedented for former fist-round picks. NFL draft history is littered with first-round busts....but none of them ever matched Wilson’s utter and complete lack of any contribution whatsoever. Woooooooo now. We did at least get to watch him humiliated on that xp. We didn't get that with dodd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to note of those four snaps 3 were in victory formation and 1 was him getting ran over on a FG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakingeek Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 What I want to know is how he can be "done" with the Titans when he was never here to begin with? I'd go after every penny I could recoup and make that dumass lawyer up and spend some of the signing bonus he stole from the team. titanskick8851, prometheus, and DallasTitan 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudsOilers Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Tony Pauline has been a hack for years. He’s never write on his draft stuff and he claims to be an insider but he’s not.

Mythos27 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 To be clear I think it's more than possible that there was serious dirt to be found in Wilson. I mean, you can't be that big of a headcase and not show ANY signs of it beforehand. I just think that if we didn't find it, it's unlikely many if any others found it and I certainly don't think we deliberately overlooked damning info just to take an OT that was generally considered a bit of a project.

NFL teams have been known to hire private investigators to check people out. They take this shit very seriously.
