Michael Wilson: Players Who Could Make a Leap in 2024

[cardsfanmd]

Not in my case… was never negative on MW. I am definitely negative on his counterpart who was picked with a top 5 pick. Was lauded as the clear best WR in the draft by most pundits.

Am I crazy for thinking that MW is walking proof that it might be a tad early to write off MHJ?

Crazy? No anything can happen. But so far he just doesn’t look to have a dog in him when I watch him. He doesn't come back for the ball or fight for it imo like he should. Especially someone with his pedigree and hype and draft status. Every single less touted (still good) WR coming out of OU the last few years has easily outperformed him.

Define irony- Bunch of people acknowledging and appreciating a player they previously prematurely labeled negatively while also prematurely negatively labeling a younger teammate of his who had 400 more yards over his first two seasons as a bust.

not me... I repeatedly commented that I never understood how Wilson looked so promising with someone like Dobbs throwing him the ball and then could disappear like he wasn't even on the team with Kyler and believed that was more a function of Kyler's inability to see/throw the ball down field than it was a Wilson issue.

not crazy at all. But Harrison at times doesn't even look like he knows how to play the position (ie. jumping for balls he has no business jumping for and then dropping them). he's a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, within a conundrum.

Michael Wilson had roughly as many targets this season (126) as MHJ did last year (116).

yeah the book on Mike in college was he was great at getting the contested catches in the air, he just couldn't stay healthy.

The book on Marv was he was so polished, had great size and could really run. It turns out he's nowhere near as fast as we thought, which is why he didn't run pre draft. And he's just not competitive. Mike goes after it like Dennis Rodman, Marv is like Reggie Theus.

Possible, but there are tons of examples of guys putting up numbers on bad teams due to injury in limited settings.

I'm just saying that people expecting Wilson to suddenly become a legit #1 WR are setting themselves up for disappointment. He has no elite skills.

I saw some great route running during this run

How can you not love this kid?

And the ability to go up and high point a ball on deep throws and muscle it away.

new head coach gonna have to break the bad news to marvelous

How much is it gonna take to resign him? He’s eligible now correct?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

How much is it gonna take to resign him? He’s eligible now correct?

Next year yes. 23 million likely

 

[Russ Smith]

Yeah that guy is legit

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

How much is it gonna take to resign him? He’s eligible now correct?

im not that guy but probably over $20 million a year right?

 

[Shane]

Next year yes. 23 million likely

Isn’t next year year 4? Do you really want him going into the season as a lame duck and risk losing him?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Next year yes. 23 million likely

Scratch that, the franchise tag is a whopping 28 million.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Isn’t next year year 4? Do you really want him going into the season as a lame duck and risk losing him?

We are saying the same thing. He should be extended this next year otherwise you have to use the franchise tag on him

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

im not that guy but probably over $20 million a year right?

Christian Kirk is getting 18 million. You basically have to figure it is close to the franchise tag

Uh, celebrating what? 1000 yards at this point is not a big accomplishment - that's averaging less than 60 yards a game! It would have been way more odd if they actually did celebrate it mid game.

 

[JohnnyCakes]

with Trey McBride making what he makes and Wilson ( hopefully) getting a 80-100 million dollar contract that really singles out Marv.

Dare I say....trade his ass

I’ve always thought 1000 was weird even in 16 games since 63 yards a game is the bench mark. I’ve always thought the mark of greatness as a receiver and a running back should be 1200. But alas, the world we live in most everybody still seems to think 1000 is the mark.

wilson missed the first 5 games - or should i say kyler missed him
