Interesting take on QB Zach Wilson from Alex Smith

Whether this is true or not, who knows....but I think we can all agree that it certainly happens where a great QB prospective goes to the wrong team/organization/coach and the table is set for that person to fail.
But I personally agree with Smith's statement here: "There is a different mentality, from my career, when you play for an offensive head coach that wants to light up the scoreboard and outscore the opponent," Smith said. "There's a different mentality you have, especially as a young quarterback versus a defensive head coach, when really the (coach's) mentality is 'Hey, don't screw up, don't turn the ball over, don't put us in a bad situation.' ... That's a huge difference in a mentality and a mindset for a young quarterback, especially if it's a bit rocky to start."
We saw that with Zimmer and Case Keenum. And Cousins to an extent. He loved Teddy because he was a game manager....although he's thrown 47 INTs against 75 TDs in his career, so although not horrible, not great either.

No idea, I dont really read or listen to much he has to say.
