I'm surprised that Pauline listed Wilson as a 'Slider' and Cousins as a 'Riser' from the Senior Bowl.
I came away from his article like I watched a different game.

Was the difference between Wilson's and Cousins game wide enought for one to be listed as a 'slider' and one a 'riser'?

Wilson was 4-7 with 1 TD:
His 3 missed passes or as Pauline stated: 'sprayed his passes all over the field' only missed 3 passes

o 1 was a poor decision throwing where he didn't look off the safety and threw late down the seam that got picked

o another was a slant that was a little high but the receiver got his hands on

o he also missed on a corner route, but it looked more like a timing issue then an accuracy issue as he his throw hit the back pylon which is exactly where you want it but it got there before the receiver

o Wilson actually avoided some sacks and used his mobility and poise in the pocket to handle 2 horrible snaps that hit the turf

I saw a completely different performance from Wilson then Pauline.

I agree, but were the two fan board posters and he's the one being credited and paid, so I think he knows a lil sometin'-sometin'

Sometimes that doesn't mean much.

I hated the sack he took from Upshaw. He has to step up into the pocket in that situation. That is, if he wants to have sucess at the next level.
