Yeah. Reason to hope he's a player? Sure. Thinking we've found a #1 corner? Whoa there.
2021 4th round pick is Marco Wilson CB

I don't think anyone has said he's a #1 corner. All I've seen is people discuss potential and the hope we might get a decent contribution from a lower round player.

Literally four posts above mine.
See above.
I mean, I get it. Blind fan optimism. I'm just not a blind optimist. Am I happy he looked decent, and do I hope he develops? Absolutely. Reserving judgment for the time being, is all.

Blind fan optimism? BAH HA HA!
The guy balled out in his first preseason game. PFF gave him an 83 grade, and if you are familiar with their grade system, over a season that's a near Pro Bowl level performer. Nothing blind about having optimism from an ACTUAL PERFORMANCE.
Sure there is reason to be skeptical being that it was preseason game one, but the kid did play really well. The PBU he had were it looked like he was beat but he closed on the ball and broke it up is the type of plays that good corners make consistently in the NFL. You don't see Jace Whitaker making that play.
When you walk buy a bed of flowers do they instantly wilt? Total buzzkill!

I saw every gator game. Has talent but was inconsistent in focus. Needs to keep his head in the game. He could have come out much more prepared but didn’t seem focused on skill development either. If he matures rapidly he might be an asset.

Dude all game long you were slaying posters for being concerned about third string defensive linemen and now you’re crowing about one preseason game where Wilson played well (other than giving up 4th and 10, yeesh) against backup wrs. Maybe some perspective? He looked good. But people trumpeting him as a #1 at this juncture is pure unadulterated silliness.Blind fan optimism? BAH HA HA!

Reread the post in reference to calling Wilson a #1.
Kudos to Keim on this one... the Cardinals actually might have drafted a number one corner in the later rounds
might
That's not the same as saying they drafted a #1 in the later rounds.
might
might = a possibility. Which Wilson showed that in game one.
I guess some people live to **** on others sunshine.

Get over yourself. A nice showing against backups in a preseason is a little early for even a “might” on a #1 corner. And the only ******** on anyone else around here seems to be you.

If he performs well again in the next game, I would make him a starter.
It's better to start getting a young guy experience from day one if he has potential than rely on some old vets that only have a year or two left in the tank if that.

Hmm last time we did that with a training camp stud rookie was a total disaster. Brandon Williams anyone?
At the very least he should be part of a rotation, or the dime DB. If he continues to show promise. Rather him than rentals like Dennard or Worley. But it's early days yet.

Ouch, Ouchie. I'm hurt.
I just don't see the point in going after people's view when they aren't totally crazy. It's not like the guy said "we have found our #1 corner in round 4!"

I doubt Worley makes the roster based on what we've seen.
Guaranteed roster spots based on what we know: Murphy, Butler, Alford, Wilson. There are probably two more spots available and I'd bet Dennard gets on and Gowan the other.
Yeah we just have to wait for the inevitable Alford injury.

Wilson has the athletic ability, he showed instincts and the ability to knock balls away at the last moment textbook without a PI, and was drafted in a odd COVID situation where it is possible that talent could slip. With that in mind, it's possible he could be a number one corner and Keim finally hit on something... Keim has thrown enough darts in the dark to eventually hit something lolOuch, Ouchie. I'm hurt.

If he continues on this trajectory he’ll earn his playing time. No need to force it unnecessarily.

It's about "winning" games, and I'll go with the proven until it doesn't work.
There are a number of sub-packages where he can get his initial experience.

But he’s entitled to his football take as is the guy who said he might #1 cb. Why attack him?Ouch, Ouchie. I'm hurt.

we need a type of poll that is just a "truth" button and you hit it when you think a new player is the truth.
I would've hit the truth button on K1 right after 1st game rookie season vs Lions. That 2nd half comeback convinced me he had the talent and mental fortitude to be our QB for 15 years. This forum was MISERABLE to read waiting for everyone to get on board with K1 until like 5 or 6 games into the season they just couldnt deny it anymore.
I'm close to hitting it on Marco. Let me see game 1 of regular season though.
