However, he got threw into the fire and did a heck of a job.
He really just needs to play disciplined. Don't force anything, let the backs carry the workload and trust the play action pass.
He showed genuine improvements this offseason, that made me root for him again. The kid was drafted raw, the mentor NY picked for him passed away just before the offseason picked up, and then he was thrown to the wolves with no O-line.
Unfortunately, I don't think he's an NFL starter yet, and only time will tell if he can get there. But it was a bad situation to thrust the kid into, and just when I thought we were setting him up to succeed long term...he's back in the fire.
One thing that I will note though...I think the change to OC Nathaniel Hackett has had a bigger impact than it's gotten credit for, since this has been the Rodgers show all offseason. Hackett and Wilson have much more rapport than I'd seen with others, and I'm hoping that expedites his development.
The other brightside is that we're getting our First Round pick and if Wilson struggles again this season, we'll be in a position to draft a new QB of the future for the umpteenth time (Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Bryce Petty, and even Christian Hackenburg yikes).
