Frequently Asked Questions About George Wilson
How does Quinn Ewers compare to George Wilson?
George Wilson and Quinn Ewers? Night and day—Wilson's a one-year AFL footnote from '66, scraping together 764 yards, 5 TDs, and 10 picks in a 2-5 starting stretch for daddy's Dolphins, while Ewers is out there slinging it weekly as Miami's starter, chasing rings in the Super Bowl era. Legacy? Wilson's a trivia dart; Ewers is live ammo.
Is George Wilson in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
Nah, George Wilson never sniffed Canton—his '66 Dolphins stint was a blink, 41% completions, more picks than trophies, and poof, traded and cut by '67. Hall's for Grieses and Marinos, not journeyman QBs who handed off the rock more than heaving it downfield.
What is George Wilson doing now in 2026?
George Wilson passed in 2011, so no 2026 gigs in broadcasting or boardrooms—he'd be 82 if kicking, but instead, his legacy lives in Dolphins lore as the coach's kid who notched their first win, a gritty 24-7 over Denver. Family carries the torch now.
How would George Wilson perform in today's NFL?
Wilson's legs might scamper for chunk yards in today's pass-happy NFL—137 rushing yards on 27 carries ain't bad—but that 41% completion and 10 picks? Modern DBs and blitzes would feast. Rules favor gunslingers; he'd be a gadget guy, not a starter, like a '60s version of a mobile backup.
How does George Wilson compare to Bob Griese?
Wilson vs. Griese? Both Dolphins QBs, but Griese's 58.41 rating towers over Wilson's measly 42.4—perfect spirals and '70s rings for Bob, while George scrambled for 137 yards and five TDs in a lost AFL season. Franchise pillar meets warm-up act; no contest.
