Maybe the struggles have nothing to do with his height but what do ya think? Has he hit a ceiling?
Without question his height limits him. But there's so many other things he can do that makes up for it. When he does those things, that is.
Asking him to play tall and run an offense ala Brady or Manning will rob him of greatness. I know someone wants to throw the name Brees at me...please don't. Wilson's passing, awareness and presence is not close to that of Drew Brees at this time. And why would it be? He's a 2nd year man. Drew Brees wasn't Drew Brees in his sophomore year, either. Wilson will continue to grow...but he won't grow any taller. He just needs to regain his confidence and start letting the ball fly along with some well timed, safe runs. Like he did all day last year.
