0 pressures AT ALL and one difficult throw, again I don't ding people for things that aren't their fault, but I do try to project to a Sunday and this game (so far) tells you NOTHING about him as a pro prospect.
There was one snap I thought was a pressure, but it was a screen!
Are we really critiquing games that he should have went 14/14 with 3 TD passes to start the game? You are right that He didn't face much pressure in this particular game. Also, in 3 of the 4 TDs he had in that game the WRs were very open. But he still made the right reads and threw accurate footballs. If he never faced pressure before I might be concerned. He did though and played well while being pressured. I think Wilson had way more time this season to throw than Mac did, But Fans do not seem to even care about it when it is someone other than Mac.
I mean he didn't play worse then Fields when under pressure, which was about half as much.
Highest-graded draft-eligible QBs under pressure last season:
— PFF Draft (@PFF_College) April 9, 2021
1. Zach Wilson - 76.8
2. Justin Fields - 69.8
3. Mac Jones - 69.2
4. Kyle Trask - 68.6
5. Davis Mills - 63.8 pic.twitter.com/4CNc261nG0
and while he had some pretty nice deep balls when guys were wide open, he had no problem throwing some stinkers all the same...there's under throws to be found in his limited film and it showed up on his pro day as well.
Back to back plays, couple of Jimmy balls. Stats lie! Here's what I was saying @eric_crocker pic.twitter.com/DMYDZMTFcy
