Ill accept that

That is correct, I live in Draper where he grew up, 20 minutes north for LE stadium. This is a HUGE college city (SLC), with Utah (best NFL prospects), Utah State and BYU all about an hour so so from one another.

Now, I am not saying a QB from a college program with sub par competition has never been successful and I do not deny he has upside at all, nor am I totally against drafting him.

However the generally consensus around here is that he is not NFL franchise QB calibur, and a team will reach for him, thus unless we spend a top pick on him it won’t happen and I’d rather NOT do that.

If that does happen though, I’d feel more comfortable if he sat behind TB next year. He’s just played garbage competition in my eyes.

Curious as to why it would matter to those around there when you can just watch his games on youtube.  Its not like living close to someone can give you some special insight to him unless you are implying he is a bit much off the field.

Tepper himself better be there to see our future franchise QB.

That is not what I am implying.

My point was the general consensus of the community around here, as I stated a huge college area, like die hard of all die hard. They follow these guys weekly. SLC as a whole is millions of people either Utah vs. BYU, then the occasional Utah state fan. They watch more of Wilson than anyone on the forums and probably more than anyone in the entire nation...for obvious reasons.
 

So I put more stock into their opinions and views more so than the general random poster who watched a few highlights and read talking head reports.

For example living here and telling people I am from Charlotte and a Panther fan I have learned some very interesting things about Steve Smith, Jordan Gross, and Star Lotulelei, who call came from Utah - stuff that I never knew in Charlotte. Personal and professional.

It’s like comparing the conversation and insight talking to a passionate Panthers fan who is also an avid huddler vs. a casual fan you see randomly on the street wearing a Panther cap.

I think we all have experienced this sentiment.

Hope he falls to us because with CMC coming back, even though we are 0-3 with him playing, has me worried we’ll play ourselves out of a top 10 pick.

Ugh. This is better than nothing but sucks they won't schedule a real P5 team. I get they're ranked but at the end of the day how much NFL talent is on coastal carolina's roster

It's not about talent it's about players believing in one another and the coaches system.  Kinda like Rhule at Temple and Baylor.  CCU plays hard and fast I would not be shocked if they beat BYU.

I'm not talking about any of that. I don't care about either of these teams or who wins, I just want to see Wilson play a legit P5 team with NFL talent. If we're going to potentially look at this kid, I really wish we could see some film this year of him playing NFL caliber guys. CC does not have that.

this is the craziest thing I've ever seen.  Come all the way across the country in 3 days with no prep time and play a ranked team on the road.

Hats off to BYU.  ESPN College Gameday will be there, so they get a chance to make a push (they won't win) for a playoff spot.

They have to do it - they've played nobody so far. They're desperate for a relevant opponent. 

Admittedly Coastal Carolina haven't played anyone either, but they've got that number next to their name.

They won't schedule a P5 team? Dude, those P5 conferences aren't allowing non-conference games or basically limiting them to one. How is that BYU's fault exactly?

Plus, ain't no decent P5 team trying to take on a very good mid-major on short notice. That's all risk no reward.
