i thought he played in Wisconsin
He played 3 years for NC State...O'Brien, who was the head coach at the time, forced Wilson to make a choice between baseball and football...wanted him to be focused on football full time and Wilson decided he would transfer. He had already graduated so he didn't have to sit out the year, went to Wisconsin and led the team to the Rose Bowl I think. Best QB to ever play in Wisconsin lol. Not saying much.
Tom O'Brien is no longer coaching anywhere that I know of.
Lets not get all Wilson is great, he would have taken Miami to the super bowl, crazy though. Seattle's offense is centered around Marshawn Lynch, it has always been centered around Marshawn Lynch. It also has a ridiculous defense. Anyone here think that if our defense would have come up with 3 turnovers on the Packers we wouldn't have won that game? Cause I'm pretty sure if our defense would have played as well as Seattle's defense against the Packers we would have blown their doors off. Wilson gets looks on offense he would never have gotten here because we don't have beast mode, we also don't have TEs that are basically rocked up WRs or an offensive line that can form a pocket. Seattle's O-line is a little soft on the edges but the interior is solid...Max Unger should have been a Dolphin (that's who we should have taken instead of Pat White...stupid Ireland) forget Wilson.
People forget that Wilson was almost benched his rookie season cause he had a stretch of games where he was really bad. He also had a number of games where he was flat out awful but his team still won...14/28, 126 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT against Dallas (ok that was a loss), 20/32, 199 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT against Carolina (won 13-9), 17/35, 179 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs against Oakland (won 30-24...how do you score 30 without the QB throwing a TD?), 10/17, 172 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs against the Giants (won 38-17...again broke 30 without throwing for a TD), 12/24, 168 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT against San Francisco (won 17-7). All of those games except the Carolina game had him with a passer rating of under 70...do you know how bad Ryan Tannehill would have gotten killed for games like that? Well I don't need to tell you cause Tannehill is getting killed and he's the only QB in the league to not have a game this past season with a rating of under 70.
Once again the focus and credit goes to the QB when it should be the team. The whole team, as a unit, how it functions together is what wins games. Wilson had 4 games with a passer rating under 70 and his team went 3-1 in those games.
