Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 459312">I'm not sure what adversity Wilson could possibly be encountering...he's not even out of his first preseason and expectations for him were low coming in.  A projected outcome from the start whereby he'd be riding the bench on the inactive list his rookie year would hardly qualify as adversity. I was thinking more along the lines of what many rookie QBs encounter...they have some bad games, the season starts to slide away, the press and fans are calling for a benching, rumors are circulating that the front office or coaching staff is on the bubble.  Maybe you have to play with some dings, maybe some knucklehead vet is questioning your leadership, maybe the talent around you is not very good.  That will test your mettle. Or in the case of Flynn, he walked the trail that Harrell is walking right now...repeated chatter over multiple years that you're not NFL material...like Chinese water torture.  Wilson barely has his feet wet. Wilson is certainly a talented guy, bright, an engaging personality, but this ain't college football.   The NFL eats its young.  He could end up being a fine QB...but he is entirely untested.</blockquote>
