Please, please, no Ohio State QBs. I can't remember the last one that became a franchise QB. Hurts, Fields, Haskins Caldwell Jones etal are or were average at best. Great examples of good college QBs on great teams.Young could be the exemption! With young QBs it's always a crap shoot. Trading for a proven veteran ala Denver is less risky.
You made a good point, it just so happens to have been his first game, which you couldn't have known. I've definitely docked a lot of QBs in the past for not knowing (RGIII, Lamar, Carson) when to take your yards and give up. Wilson was a master at this.

That was the first game of his career. I think he probably learned not to do that again, haven't seen him do it since that I can think of.
