Sure. He could also turn out to be a fantastic QB, and the best we've had since Young.
There's a reason Kyle traded up for Trey....imo, Kyle sees him as the potential ultimate QB.
A QB that can play in the pocket... protects the ball/doesn't throw many INTs.....and can extend the play if need be. Elite arm strength. Good character.
Sure Wilson has shown most of those abilities, but Trey is 6'4 and 230. There have been plays this year, actually this past week, where it seemed like Russ couldn't look over his line...when the pass rush started swarming him....and just turtled up. Maybe a seasoned Trey can still make a pass in that scenario.
Some get offended when others compare Trey to certain QBs.
He "looks" like Kap because of the skin tone with tats and Size...Strong arm. Confident... can take a run to the house.
He "looks" like Watson because of playing with his jersey untucked, having a single digit # close to #4, and moves/shows agility around the pocket JUST like Watson...and runs just like him, even keeping the ball out exposed. Seriously watch Watson running around highlights and it looks like Trey.
But also looks like Josh Allen...
But forget all that... if Kyle can get a QB that can hit every part of the field... and also compliments Kyle's own dangerous running game, by keeping a defense honest.....protects the ball, like Trey did in college.....runs for key 1st downs when needed (like Kap would, and Mahomes does now)
If Trey can show the ability to stay healthy (and protect himself, which he needs to work on)... Kyle could be happy for a long time.
Imo this is why he wanted Jimmy starting for as long as possible. Wanted to make sure Trey was ready, before being throwing out there. This is a long term thing for Kyle. If Trey can be the type of QB Kyle thinks he can... then it won't matter in a few years if don't have an elite defense..or elite running game. We will have a pretty good chance to win on any gameday.
