In reply to: I don't see him as a runner in the classic college QB sense posted by Jvan

Physically small for the position, above average arm strength, average speed for a mobile qb. The only think he lacked last year the Wilson had at NCSU/UW was aggressive decision making, something that many here feel was more BK than EG.
With his NFL success, people seem to forget that RW was not an all-American QB in college, just a good to very good one. EG was above average last year, running and throwing, if he can become more aggressive (especially over the middle) with success, he can be very good to great.

        Those are very fair points - irishaddict 2013-03-07 16:57:26
aside from the 25 lb weight differential? - ACross 2013-03-06 21:38:05
- You've got to get over the height thing... * - IrishintheD 2013-03-06 23:18:21
  - It means he doesn't have a strong arm - SEE 2013-03-07 04:55:45
    - Is that what it means? * - ACross 2013-03-07 10:55:25
      - It did to you last year. Remember that insightful - SEE 2013-03-07 11:41:30
        I do remember asserting that there is a general correlation - ACross 2013-03-07 11:46:30
        I remember you saying exactly that. - ugoirish 2013-03-07 16:54:36
        Golson has a strong arm for any size. He throws 35 yard - SEE 2013-03-09 03:52:34
- Wilson was 201 a RS Sr. and he's shorter. Which of these - SEE 2013-03-06 22:14:17
  - I don't know that he is shorter - jt 2013-03-07 00:52:47
    - You sayin Wison's shorter than 5'11"? - SEE 2013-03-07 05:05:21
