Michael Wilson: Players Who Could Make a Leap in 2024

[slanidrac16]

Should be noted Wilson and McBride are doing this with opponents knowing we have no threat of running.

If we demure on a Wilson extension, because we have to extend a Harrison a year later... only to watch Wilson go ham on another roster, and Harrison to stay generally mediocre... that would be a disaster.

And a continuation of the cardinals culture we all know and "love." Pay Wilson what his performance is dictating and make Marv earn his next contract.

Letting draft position dictate playing time fits far too well for a organization that tends to let the draft be its high point of every season.

The team will start two WRs and a TE who will get 70% + snaps almost every week. Trey is the #1 option and the other two will battle to make plays off of the coverage McBride pulls. Both get moved around a lot. What does it matter who is #1?

The Cardinals have the best TE in the league and two good WRs (even if they are a bit redundant). The only issue is finding ways to get them all involved. Petzing sucks tho and doesn't seem capable of that which is why he likely is not an OC in the future.

I guess my question is: is McBride really the #1 when MHJ is out? Hasn’t Wilson gotten more targets, receptions and yards than McBride over those three games? If so, it causes me to question McBride being the #1. That’s not denigrating McBride. He’s absolutely the best receiving te in the league right now. But legit asking, if he’s the number receiving option when we’ve seen a different fact set and he’s not.

They said on the broadcast Sunday that Petzing told them he has to make McBride the primary target on 60% of playcalls (may be wrong about the exact number could have been 40%). Yes Michael Wilson is getting more looks because teams are scheming to take McBride away.

When MHJ is there maybe he’s getting 30% of the first looks?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s what they’re doing with Trey McBride and why he only got five receptions yesterday my man

So it begs the question, why isn’t MHJ producing at this level when other teams attempt to do so to McBride also?

Good question

Because when MHJ was playing we were also running the ball more, is my guess. Fewer opportunities to go around in closer game scripts

That's part of it but IMO Wilson just gets open more often and when he's not open he's better at just getting the ball. If Marv was as competitive going for the ball as Mike is he'd be an elite WR, he's just not competitive.

I think Jacoby just knows what open in the NFL is. Kyler refuses to throw on time/rhythm, or throw anybody open. If he doesn't see them open he's not throwing it, and by then their not open any more. IMO

90 catches
1130 yards
5 TD's

looks like thats how Wilson projects to finish the season. possibly a bit higher because the season averages are based on the entire season and not just since kyler has been out or Marv has been out.
roughly 24 more catches at about 11.3 yds per catch...and likely 1 more TD

5 years, $110million?? $40mil guaranteed?

could just be QB preference. Many view the TE as more of a safety net and not a primary target...
because they havent spent a lot of time playing with a guy like Trey

How certain people fail to recognize this and indeed often rail against this reality is astounding.

How did you come up with 1130 yards? Wilson currently has 766 receiving yards, so he would need 364 receiving yards in 3 games. That would be about 121 receiving yards per game. He's currently averaging 54.7 yards per game for the season overall.

IIRC I think I took his average per catch of roughly 11.2 and multiplied it by his average catches per game over the past five weeks of 8 catches per game then multiplied it by the number of remaining games...and averaged it all out because it was head math

24 catches at about 11.2 yards per catch...268 yards...added to that 766....1034 yards....thats calculator math
