Message: <blockquote data-quote="tynimiller" data-source="post: 1034837" data-attributes="member: 6578">After just one season to lock in a comp of a guy that's just not appropriate in my opinion. Also I wouldn't honestly expect a RB3 behind two for sure guys ahead of him to only get 20-30 or so carries in a season unless a massive injury issue happened. Also you have to remember Patrick Taylor understood and knew the offense immensely better and is why he got over 30 snaps where Wilson did not and truthfully year 1 no one is surprised at that.Wilson is either a Patrick Taylor or more - small school guy that showed no flinch in year one - a TON is going to be known this year about him. If the game slowed down even more, if he got his body refined even more, if he shows an even more fluid ability to block, read, set up defenders he for sure will continue to hold a spot and the Taylor comp will be a thing of the past. It's about as justified as any person on the roster right now to say it truly is a coin flip year for him.Jarveon is a PS guy in year one, and is quite similar to Wilson from the expectations in year one. Wilson showcased far more than anyone thought he would in year one, and I know for a fact the staff knew likely would be nabbed by another team if not part of the initial 53. That alone for me shows that football people see it in him, it was for sure utterly raw back in year one - but you could for sure see it in his cuts, his body control, balance and ability to digest the attackers. To me Wilson's biggest hurdles are maturation of all the little things a RB has to be able to do; block, know positioning, route spacing when needed and things like that PLUS just his physical make up ceiling. I know he's been working a LOT on his burst this off season, he's never going to be a LONG speed type guy (neither is Jacobs), but that burst is what sets a defender route off a foot and sometimes you get that foot is the difference between a 3 yard gainer vs a 10+ first down run.If he doesn't illustrate an ability in year two to mature inside the offensive role of his position and have pushed his physical ceiling a touch higher - there is a good chance they test the risk of not making him part of the 53 in hopes of PS. I however STRONGLY bet we keep four with Dillon being that Deguara type role often at times in the game...and being a FB/RB positional value guy.</blockquote>
