Zach Wilson I Still Don't Get It - Ewers Maybe?

[kingfin23]

Let him learn. I will not judge him yet.

Though I know Wilson has to royally mess up/look bad for him not to get the backup position. Rooting for Ewers, inexperience and all, hoping something clicks with him moving to NFL from college. Just don't expect much from Wilson.

 

[cullenbigcstill]

Oh no he threw interceptions in June minicamp, let's all freak out and whine about how the sky is falling lmao

 

[Scrap]

Confuse the defense by throwing it directly to them….. Mike McDaniel is a true mastermind.

 

[Good_Dylan]

Panic not…
Anybody back there… including Zack Wilson is > Skyler Thompson

Like most NFL teams, the drop off from the starting QB is too much to make any kind of difference.

 

[The Goat]

Joe Burrow was born December 10th, 1996. He was 23 when drafted and is currently 28 years old.

Tua was born March 2nd, 1998. He was 22 when drafted and is currently 27 years old.

Zach Wilson was born August 3rd, 1999. He was 21 when drafted and is currently 25 years old.

I’m not sure what point you’re making, other than literally doing the math for what I stated.

 

[Mystery Guest]

Has anyone else been successful other than Tua as QB in this offense? It’s a one read pass, at least for Tua.

 

[DrMultimedia]

No way I'll judge a single player at this point of the off season. At least wait until the kickoff of the first preseason game.

I think McGoober likes shiny objects. He likes big shiny watches, Capri pants, highly drafted QB's, expensive Edges, fast squeaky WR's, and temperamental DB's. I also think his ego makes him think he can control this mess and teach this kid how to play well in his system. It does not look good so far but maybe Tua stays healthy until the light turns on for Wilson. I would not bet on it.

 

[Tuaffinity and Beyond]

Has anyone else been successful other than Tua as QB in this offense? It’s a one read pass, at least for Tua.

It most certainly is not. You can literally watch Tua go through his progressions when he has time.

 

[Scotty_P]

I'm sorry, but the OP is missing the big picture here.

Whatever Wilson was doing before and whatever his previous coaches were doing....it didn't work. So yes, we should be teaching him a new skill set and how to operate THIS offense. Not coddling him and catering to his below average play. That's the definition of insanity.

It's call growth and development. And despite people's beliefs about McD...he turned Tuas career around. Trust the process.

Zach Wilson is 2-1/2 years older right now. Today.

Joe Burrow was born December 10th, 1996. He was 23 when drafted and is currently 28 years old.

Zach Wilson was born August 3rd, 1999. He was 21 when drafted and is currently 25 years old.

I’m not sure what point you’re making, other than literally doing the math for what I stated.

@The Goat says Wilson is older
@AMakados10 says younger



I'm not sure of the point.

Wilson, like all other backup QBs during Tua's reign, isn't the right man for the job because the scheme won't allow it.

It's not because of his age or his failure with the Jets.

The coaching staff has nowhere to go if Tua goes down.
Unless the OL has finally been put together and the team can make the run game a weapon,
the backup won't be able to effectively match the timing needed to succeed.

The QB in this offense needs to not only hit the timing throws ...
More often than not, he has to move from his spot, eliminating the timing routes, find the open receiver, and most likely throw from a less-than-ideal platform or angle.

If a backup could do that consistently, he wouldn't be a backup ... or at least, he wouldn't be available.
If Tua could do that, we would only have to worry about him staying healthy.
And the problem in the secondary wouldn't be as glaring.

Until McD can give a different QB a fighting chance by scheming to his strengths,
Tua's health is the ticking time bomb on offense for the team.

Here's to a rejuvenated OL that not only leads the league in not allowing pressure but also keeps Tua clean all season.
And a second shout out to the run game that surpassed 2000 yards as a team.

Perhaps these are the challenges that McDaniel thrives in by transforming a qbs confidence.

If he doesn’t make it as a head coach maybe we can keep him in as our Qb coach

I give Mcdaniel very little credit for Tua's success.

Tua was a highly touted prospect and high draft pick for us. ANY head coach should support their starting QB. I will not over praise McDaniel for doing something so basic.

If McDaniel was able to maximize our other back up QBs in all the games Tua has missed then I would give Mcdaniel more praise. But our QB play outside of Tua has been absolute trash. therefore, McDaniel is no QB miracle worker. His analysis so far for identifying QBs to run his scheme has been very poor.

In some ways, I think Mcdaniel is holding Tua back. the scheme with pre snap motions and McDaniel taking 10 years to call in plays, prevents Tua from changing plays at line of scrimmage based on defense looks and Tua has zero time to try to decipher anything.

Snippet below on what Zach Wilson is doing in camp so far and why. This is what I never understood. The Dolphins offense is very different from Zach Wilson's skill set and style of play. It seemed to me like they were trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. This rarely works, and if it does, it takes time. I could understand drafting a high potential rookie with this profile as a 3rd QB, but I do not understand signing a backup with this profile. The job of the backup is to win games now, not in two to three years, after they develop and learn the system. It appears they really are asking Zach Wilson to do things entirely differently than he has, when he wasn't even good at doing it his way. Maybe Quinn Ewers is more cut out to play this way, I do not know enough. But I still struggle with the choice of Zach Wilson as the backup, assuming our goal was to win games if Tua gets hurt. For the now, I still think there were many better choices of backup.

New Dolphins backup quarterback Zach Wilson threw three interceptions and two near-interceptions during the two minicamp practice sessions last week. But Wilson offered context afterward, what served as perspective that should ease some of the concerns about the flurry of turnovers. Wilson is working on throwing how the Dolphins want him to throw, even if it leads to practice picks. “When I first got here, it was trying to find completions, trying to do how I normally play ball,” he said. “But here, it’s ‘No, we throw into space with time and anticipation’ [and] truly trust what they’re asking the quarterback position to do. “You see Tua [Tagovailoa] do it all the time. You almost need to say to yourself, ‘OK I’m going to throw this ball with absolute conviction and I trust they will be where they need to be and I’ll learn from the mistakes.’ As I get used to it, that’s almost more important to me [during minicamp] than trying to get completions.” Wilson noted that he threw an interception Tuesday “because somebody came out a little flatter than I was anticipating, but I ripped it with conviction. The ball sailed over his head. That’s the trust factor. Now I know he is going to run the route a little flatter and I still have to throw in that timing. If I had waited, maybe I still would have completed it. “But that’s not what this offense is asking. [What coaches are asking] is throw it on time in the scheme so these fast guys we have can catch it and get some yards after the catch.” Though Wilson’s career has been disappointing for a No. 2 overall pick, he said this is the first time in his career where coaches have told him he’s throwing late at times. Mike McDaniel, asked about Wilson last week, said that’s a common proclivity for quarterbacks who have strong arms, like Wilson does. “I’ve never been told before at past places, ‘hey you’re late.’ But here it’s an entire step above and with good reason. They want these balls out before our guys get to whatever their landmarks are because we are throwing to speed... Sometimes I’ll go to the right guy but it isn’t fast enough. From a coaching standpoint, that’s not a good rep.” Wilson has thrown 25 interceptions (compared with 23 touchdowns) in 35 games, so reasons for concern are valid. But at least there was a method behind the flurry of turnovers and near-turnovers last week.

You don't get it, because it is "ungettable"! Zach Wilson sucks. He's a choker and should have no place on the Fins. But as usual, Grier and McMoron think they are smarter than everyone else in the league. Oh yeah and they gave this loser $5million dollars to boot!
