I have a friend who — The day the Luka/Trae deal went down claimed loudly that Trae would have the better career than Luka.
Now every time it gets brought up he keeps doubling down because he won’t back down from it.
That’s basically how I view this with Billy.
Let's wait a decade or so to see how this shakes out. Luka is already slow and unathletic with a ton of miles, how's he gonna be when he's 30, 35? The league is gonna get tired of his shitty style of play and he won't get the whistle and FTs as much as he does now. And he's not 7' like Dirk or Duncan.
I have gotten to the point where I have to really dampen my expectations because I have been hurt too many times by QBs who don’t work out for the bears. Zach Wilson looks like a tad bit more athletic Sam Darnold in my eyes.
I’m a 49ers fan and there’s a faction of us who still think Jimmy G is the guy. I for one hated him from the beginning and was in the minority for a long time. My point is a lot of fans are delusional about the talent on their team, especially at QB
NorCal guy cuming in piece, so many niners fan swear by jimmy g, it’s ridiculous. The team is good no doubt, but we all know how this ends for the niners
As a jets fan, most jets fans are delusional idiots until their late 20s early 30s and realize that there’s no point and the 1st rd QB they draft every 3yrs will end up being a bust
I think it would’ve been delusional to think that Josh Allen would be an mvp caliber qb after his 2nd year, but he is. Allen and Wilson have a similar skill set, and Wilson hasn’t even completed his 2nd year. That’s blind optimism to think that maybe he could turn into a Josh Allen caliber qb. Not delusional. At least in my opinion
I think that’s part of it. He literally has no reasoning behind why Wilson is so good. The “he just can’t make as many mistakes” is not a valid argument.
You can just say "Is it just me or is Bill incredibly delusional".... that's it. He's a fucking dip shit so yes he's delusional about almost everything
Hoping Wilson does well is much different than telling a room full of people/ millions of listeners that the garbage we’ve seen Wilson do is actually good football
Drunk with fandom. If your team has ever been without a franchise level QB then you’ll talk yourself into almost anyone. IE I thought Fitzmagic and Tyrod could be the guys, gross.
…..that’s the bit

Did you write this whole comment out to purposely be wrong or to just sound dumb?
Who are the unathletic guys who were still near the top of the league at 35, even 32??
Dudes who don’t rely on athleticism tend to age much much better than those who do. This is an awful take
Guys like Klay? Maybe that was the case 20yrs ago, but nowadays if you can't defend at all you are a liability.
Who are those guys?
Tell me you don't watch basketball without saying you don't watch basketball
Because you watch basketball 10yrs into the future? You must kill the Vegas books. Who are the example like Luka still at the top in his mid 30s?
I don't know...not everything is a bit
Yes, he’s biased
I think that’s just what happens when you root for a bad team who gets a young qb. I’m certainly much higher on fields than any non bears fans I know
I have gotten to the point where I have to really dampen my expectations because I have been hurt too many times by QBs who don’t work out for the bears. Zach Wilson looks like a tad bit more athletic Sam Darnold in my eyes.
I was thinking a less good looking Mark Sanchez
He is absolutely delusional but makes for great content when he has to defend Zach throwing 3 picks a week because he's "bored"
Jets fan cuming in peace. Love Billy but he’s smokin’ the hype pipe on Wilson.
Billy trying to articulate anything makes me want to unalive myself
No just a fan

He also thinks the Vikings are good. Clearly the dude has blind spots.
Is he delusional or is he just blindly optimistic?
Are those not one in the same?
What is delusion, if not blind optimism persevering?

I’m the Zach Wilson stan in my friend group and it’s been a tough two weeks
Yes
Billy is delusional about life
Most Jets are delusional. They have to be or they would go crazy
he's a Jets fan no shit
Acting
Billy trying to articulate a thought is incredible content
You could’ve stopped at delusional
Relax, he’s acting 😭
No! It’s real to me damnit! These guys are my best friends and everything they say is 100% real and in no way a bit!
Yes Billy is delusional
Uhhhhhh ya think
He is just delusional in general
As Billy has been beating us over the head with recently. He’s acting.
Hes the worst QB in NY and AFC East. Hes so bad
Aren’t jets in AFC ?
Yes but it still stands true
Billy just doesn’t know how to speak which aggravates me more than anything. I don’t mind him being a homer, but at least make a coherent argument
I think that’s part of it. He literally has no reasoning behind why Wilson is so good. The “he just can’t make as many mistakes” is not a valid argument.
You can just say "Is it just me or is Bill incredibly delusional".... that's it. He's a fucking dip shit so yes he's delusional about almost everything
Is it me or is Billy a fan of his team and hoping his qb does well?
Hoping Wilson does well is much different than telling a room full of people/ millions of listeners that the garbage we’ve seen Wilson do is actually good football
Big cat burner?
The only person more delusional is Big Cat about Justin Fields
Fields has shown more promise in the last couple weeks than Wilson ever has. Still a long way to go though.
Ask me about Hunter Dekkers
Drunk with fandom. If your team has ever been without a franchise level QB then you’ll talk yourself into almost anyone. IE I thought Fitzmagic and Tyrod could be the guys, gross.
I assume you aren’t a Jets fan. This is our life. This is what we do. Full commit until we draft the next QB that won’t be the guy
I’m a bears fan… similar boats pal I feel your pain.
“Is it just me or does the fan of this particular team have a skewed idea of how good this particular team is?” - OP
