Glad you posted this.

Upon reading this, I wanted to get a chuckle so I read the Jets board. They didn't let me down.

I take a little solace in the fact there hasn't been wholesale panic here because TL had a bad practice.

Of course we all want TL to succeed wildly. But having the occasional bad practice is part of becoming successful.

First off the stop up from college to pro is considerable. The speed and athleticism is higher in the pros. What may be considered covered in college might be wide open in the pros. The windows close much faster.
QBs making that leap have to learn what they can and can't get away with.. It's practice. Defense have seen the same guys running the same guys run the same plays running the same routes since June. There will be plays they guess right. Furthermore, because of the time and preparation disparity between college and the NFL, there are far more defenses and coverages an NFL QB has to face.

To me, it's better QBs make the mistakes in practice rather than in games.

I want TL to do well today. But I won't panic if he has a bad scrimmage. For that matter, I won't gloat because Wilson struggled.

Okay maybe a little.
