Wilson can be a coach-killer.
Someone like Bill Walsh would script a number of plays, some of which were designed to do nothing more than to show a look they would later go back to with a different play called. Basically they would create "tells" for the defense to pick up on, and then exploit the defense later by giving a "tell" and doing something different.
Wilson tries to make every play work, and will go off-script early and often. It almost doesn't matter what looks we show, because any look results in Benny-Hill scrambling and an improbable pass down the field. The OC can't set things up for later, or really even get much information from plays that are designed to see certain reactions.
Part of Wilson's maturity will come from simply running the play by the book when he needs to, so that the OC can actually do his job.
That factor alone may reduce his MVP status for some people, and I can completely understand that. Improvisation is great, but in a chess match played by masters, you kind of have to follow where they tell you to go because every feint has meaning.
To be fair we haven't exactly had masters calling the shots, and at times I wanted to see what the offense would look like if we left the play calling to Wilson from the outset instead of calling some fail pass play from the sideline that will only work if we queue up the kazoos.
So while I get what you are saying, I don't agree at all. not much else can be said given there was no link or anything to support the thought. Also the Idea he can be a coach killer is absurd. I could easily argue if he needs to improvise so much the coach should be fired.
There isn't going to be links to support what he saying but if you really understand the game
it is much more than you see on tv right?
There is also the fact I will add that due to RW height there are plays that cannot be ran that
other QB's can do all the time such as quick slants..Passes right up the gut- the kind of stuff
that Brady and AR can do in a hairs time to wipe out blitzes..
Do I need links to support this?No because it is clear as day when you watch the Hawks enough
to know that our QB has weakness just like any other QB and sure he has strengths as well
so don't take me wrong ..I just think some refuse to see reality some times when it comes to
RW..
I agree all QBs have strengths and weaknesses to include Brady. I am not sure I agree with some of what you say, as I have seen him through quick slants many times. To me one of his weaknesses is sometimes he falls in love with the long ball too much, just as sometimes Brady falls in love with the short ball too much. My request for links was his comment about what Bill Walsh did. There has to be a link or something saying he did this, otherwise no one can say for sure he did. Pete has said and there are links I have seen here you cant win in the 1st or the 2nd or the third, so we know that is true. He has said he likes to play it conservative in the first half, so we know that is true. We do not know if Bill Walsh did what was said since there is no supporting evidence. Oh and FYI I have either played, coached or refereed football for over 40 years, so I do understand the game very well. I think some here like to harp a lot or only on his weaknesses making them out to be far bigger than they are, while downplaying his strengths.
