I don't think these old guys respect a guy who gets it done with his legs as well as his arm. It's like if you don't play the game the way I want you to your a "running quarterback" and you can't win. Despite being the MVP you illegitimate. PRODUCTION in any form is what counts at the end of the day. I DONT care if you run for 100 yards every game as long as you scoring touchdowns and moving the sticks. Are rushing touchdowns worth less than passing touchdowns? Get the job done is all that matters.

Plateaued at mvp? Sure that's good.

A guy who has absolutely no choice but to gamble.. because a tackle isn't going to win you 5-6 more games.. think about it. You either going to take a shot or settle for a snails pace which Rhule can't do. It's the exact same gamble naggy had to make the bears last season with Fields.. unfortunately he got fired anyway.

Dude won a MVP.. and you comparing him to Dilfer... OK you clearly have an outdated model of qb perception. You can't win the highest offensive honor in the league beating out Brady mahomes and so on by being dilfer.

Who says he will sit for a year????? That's all opinion. The way coordinators scheme up offense. If he is accurate why wouldn't he play?

Exactly... last year this class was good. We heard about Howell and tank for how Willis name came up some.. a few others.. this was viewed as a good qb class.

According to who? Your job isn't on the line.. and everyone in the world of drafting and scouting have a different opinion than you so clearly your wrong.

That draft LT and wait for qb next year is the perfect plan. But with Rhule basically already one foot out the door does he have another year he can not win and draft a LT and wait for a QB? I don't think a LT gets us to the playoffs which is basically what rhule needs. I honestly think it's QB or bust for rhule and only that because rhule needs a big season to secure his job. That type of change won't come from a lineman but the most important position in football.

Those 3 in any order is a win. And that's how it should be

Stop it with these god awful comparisons

He's just small.. that's his whole deal. Great talent.. if I could get in thr back of the first or second awsome.

Thank you exactly.

The franchises job isn't on the line. The franchises will go on with or without rhule. Tepper has made it very clear how he feels about marquee quarterbacks. If darnold is as as bad as he was last year it doesn't matter who is blocking for him. He won't win enough games to get another chance at drafting a qb next year. I think we as fans might want a tackle and rhule might a well. But honestly does Evan Neal make us challenge for the playoffs? If not rhule is fired...

I think most likely those who are hoping for a tackle are probably going to be disappointed. I don't see how a "tackle" saves Rhules job. He probably knows that. Getting even the best one and rolling Ole Sammy boy out there equals an early out to rhules contract.

I don't think fits can sit still with the amount of picks we have B all day.

I think putting a for sure number on anyone's potential or draft grade is impossible. But it's someone's job to do it because choices have to be made. If I'm going to take a guess on a guy because I have 2 it will be a educated guess with numbers to back it up. That's all this is.. someone educated guess which I think is better than a gut feeling or the Ole he looks good with the eyeball.

Oh I agree he's a much better athlete than Jones. I was only commenting on I guess arm talent? His arm might be better than Jones but it's hard to tell the difference at this point. If I had them side by side I go Pickett..

It's not specifically for Pickett. But I think it sounds a lot like him to me. Yes Brady is doing amazing but he is the needle in the haystack.. he's the goat.. he's the I don't know what you do well but it works guy. Brady has elite processing I have always believed. Few guys him and Payton manning have that. Do we think Pickett has that? Chances are he doesn't. If I could trade down... and get Pickett I'm all for it. Pickett at say 25 sounds awesome. It's the top 10 for me.. top 10 just bring good at most things isn't enough. Top 10 I need something you are immediately a threat with. Your arm, legs, processing, accuracy whatever. I think Pickett is the safe middle grounds of all those things. Does he defeat Mahomes for you with that tho?

Oh I agree. Not trying to say he's a 3rd rounder. Just on his skillset. The things I can put a value on..he doesn't have the biggest arm. He doesn't have elite athleticism.. he does have elite accuracy except* on down field throws.. like he has his ceiling lowered because of those things. I can't see myself drafting a limited prospect top ten. Top ten you have to shoot for a guy who can defeat mahomes. If your running a patriots like offense he's your guy no doubt. That system works for guys like him and Mac Jones. A west coast like offense. He's a older guy and dang near a finished product. Not much room to grow and if he already almost as good as he is going to be and that still isn't enough to be the unanimous number 1 qb... why do I want you?

Basically this..

He's a system quarterback. If I'm taking you top 10 you have to be able to fit into any system. You have to have elite traits... what makes you a first rounder? If not.. why can't I get you in the 3rd round? His arm is meh and we seem to have a team full of wrs who need the deep ball to be a thing. He really isn't a good fit for us. People just like mocking him to us cause rhule and temple. If he is so great,how come he isn't being mocked to anyone but us? I have seen Willis at 2.. I have seen Willis at 6.. seen him to the falcons and Pittsburg. Nobody but us seems to want Pickett.

He is a boom or bust prospect most definitely. But how many people said Derrick Brown was a sure thing 2 years ago and look what that got us. I swear he is holding on to his starting job by draft position and upside only. Like Matt said at some point you have to take a shot inside the top 10. Honestly if I'm him and I draft a LT and keep darnold does that save my job? If I lose next season as well but I show flashes with an exciting young qb of the future back there tepper might cut him some slack. Thinking about it logically I think the only thing Rhule can do after nissing Watson and so on is draft a qb..

Chris trapasso has Willis number 7 overall on his big board with this write up

I just gave you a list of massive under achievers... your picking the needle in the haystack to define your argument. Brady was a 6th round pick all the pocket passers with the God given talent I just made a list of failed.. if cam under achieved most first round pocket passing qbs under achieved. Running qbs have always been around plz.. not to the extent the ways things are ran today. The league tried to make guys who could run into something else or force them to play like a pocket passer. What we are seeing today is a evolution of the offensive system that is maximizing those gifts instead of putting them in a box and saying play like Dan marino.. yes the measure of a quarterback will always be his ability to make throws but that doesn't mean having more options isn't better. Give me a guy who can make the throws and escape over a if it isn't there I'm screwd qb any day. The league knows it college knows it and that's why you don't see as many pocket passers.
