The Wilson hype is interesting to watch...along with what another posted about his height affecting his short/mid range routes.
In his SB seasons...he rushed/scrambled for around 700 yards...last year, in 14 games, he had 180. His game is predicated on buying time and taking deep shots...or running if it's not there.
He was killing it for the first 8 games in the 2020 season until he got the Mahomes two deep safety treatment...then their offense fell off a cliff.
He took 43 sacks last season in 14 games...by comparison, Mahomes took 17 in 17 games. That says he is holding the ball too long looking for the deep shot...his 180 rushing is the lowest of his career.
If his mobility is declining, which it appears it is, he's not the same QB anymore. Denver's OL ranked 27th in pass protection...so this isn't a good combination...coupled with one of the most sacked QBs. If he's no longer the rushing threat...that takes big part of his game away.
It'll be something to watch..if Wilson can see over 6-3/6-5 lineman and develop his intermediate game. Teams are going to play him with 2 deep until he shows he can beat it.
Doink's OL has got their starting QB hurt every year going back to Manning....
Wilson started five 2021 games in which they scored 17 or fewer points...including his first ever shut out. He had two in 2020...
