There was a solid piece on him on some AM show yesterday. Comparisons we're being drawn on what he really looks like and where he could end up.
Various names were thrown around, basically all guys that could manage a game and win behind a stout defense and that was their accepted role. Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and even Flacco (ironically given he is the current back up) were brought up as guys who knew they had limitations but were mentally stout and accepted their weakness and were fine being sort of role players on winning teams. None of the analysts thought he had that kind of temperament. So strike that, that sounds very similar to Wentz.
Then they started comparing him to some modern guys that started slow but have emerged as really solid QB's. Ultimately they gravitated to a comparison to Derek Carr. At that point someone pointed out Carr had 53 TD's to Wilson's 13 in the same span to start a career.
No, this guy is not any good and given his demeanor, he is never going to be good. He could very easily be Josh Rosen V2.0.
