Could Zach Wilson be the next QB reclamation project?


Recommended Posts

Pretty interesting article from the Denver beat writer.  A year sitting under Payton may parallel Darnold doing the same for a year in SF and Mayfield having a cup of coffee with the Rams and McVay.  

 

I'd argue Wilson has more elite traits than any of the QB's in the draft.  He certainly should be in the veteran option discussion.

Wilson already plays for the Titans.  He just goes by the name of Will Levis.

The scene all over Nashville just now...    

I've seen some speculation Gardner Minshew might be a cap casualty. By no means is he great, but I've seen him play enough that I think he can fill that veteran bridge QB option and not be a total tra

In the old days, he'd only just now be getting a shot as a starter. I wouldn't rule it out or be against it.

Something either Brinker or Borgonzi said about sitting QB's as well as consistently developing them kind of made me wonder if a guy like Wilson could be an option.  I guess you could throw Daniel Jones in there too although to me the upside of Wilson is far higher than Jones.

If we draft Ward, I do think it's a strong possibility he sits. We've seen it play out across the league with guys hitting later in career (Darnold, Geno Stone, Baker to an extent) and we've seen that Mahomes and Love absolutely benefited from redshirting. Recent QBs have struggled early--some exceptions like CJ Stroud.

Always liked the sitting concept. Teams are mostly impatient and the rookie salary effect doesn't help.

Wilson does have more natural talent than Will Levis and was a higher regarded prospect coming out of college.  The Jets being a trainwreck certainly wasn't all on Wilson.
