Did anyone else find Tyree Wilsons performance on Sunday to be insulting?
I’m not trying to pile on or hate just to hate, but watching Tyree Wilson on Sunday honestly pissed me off more than it impressed me. Yes, he had a career game. The numbers were great. For one afternoon, he finally looked like the guy we were told we were drafting.
But context matters.
He waited until we were 2–14, the season was completely over, and then decided to show up against Kansas City’s backups. A third-string quarterback (who I still don't know the name of lol) and reserve offensive linemen. That’s when the urgency finally appears?
What really bothers me isn’t just that it took this long, it’s that it reinforces everything fans have been frustrated about. The talent is clearly there, which makes it even worse that we haven’t seen it when games actually mattered. When the season was still alive. When Crosby was getting doubled every snap and desperately needed help. When effort and impact could’ve changed outcomes.
Now fans are going to convince themselves this is who he really is and that he’s turned a corner. I’m not buying it. One good game after years of minimal impact, and it comes in a meaningless situation against backups. That doesn’t erase the body of work.
If anything, this performance makes him look worse in my eyes. It shows that when there’s no pressure and nothing on the line, he can dominate. That’s not what this team needs. We don’t need a late-season stat line. We need consistency, urgency, and effort when the games actually count.
Thanks for finally showing something, Tyree, but it’s too little and way too late for me. I still see him as a draft bust, and one breakout game against backups doesn’t move the needle.
