Eff this noise:

 

Liberty redshirt senior QB Malik Willis completed 24-of-46 passes for 305 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in Saturday’s 31-16 loss to Army.

Willis (6'1/215) is one of the top prospects going into the 2022 draft, but he's had a rough couple of games, and that continued this week against a good Army defense. One of the better run defenses in the country, they needed to keep him one-dimensional, and they accomplished it as they held Willis to just 37 rushing yards and a couple of big tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Willis threw a touchdown to Noah Frith early in the third quarter, but Army still held a three-touchdown lead. Willis was finally able to break through on the ground with a garbage time rushing touchdown in the last seconds of the fourth quarter. It's certainly been a rough last stretch for Liberty as they end the season with three straight losses. Willis and the Flames will wait for their fate in the bowl season, and he'll have one more go before he begins his road to the NFL

I think fans and scouts have to be careful about trying to force the next great thing.

You try to convince yourself that Willis can be the next Lamar Jackson.

Same thing happened with Zach Wilson, you see some of the same type of off-platform throws that Mahome does so you start hoping to find that.

Trey Lance and Josh Allen is another example.

Recently successful players heavily influence scouts on what they start looking for in future players, but that can be dangerous.  Willis might be as fast as Lamar, or have as strong as an arm, but that doesn't mean he is going to develop the same way.

This QB class is garbage.  Roll with Cam, keep Darnold as the backup (doubt any takers in a trade) and keep Morgan as a project QB.  Let PJ test FA.  I doubt there will be any takers, so we could always sign him back if needed.  See what the 2023 draft holds for QBs, because this ain't the year to waste a draft pick, one of the few we have remaining, on some scrub out of perceived desperation.

Please don't let Sam end up in Detroit... or here unless we're firing Rhule and Brady, for that matter.

 

Seems like more and more have Howell as a 2nd round pick or later. IMO, he has a higher probability of ending up a successful NFL QB sitting a couple of seasons to work out the kinks.

It does suck we don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick. I wouldn't mind taking a shot at a better depth/developmental QB there.

Howell strikes me as a more accurate version of The Golden Calf of Bristol.  When your QB game is more centered on how well you scramble, then that's not the QB I want.  Mobile?  Absolutely, but as not the top attribute in my preferred QB.

I think the running is more of a this year thing. He wasn't this run heavy his previous two seasons. I think he will dial that back in the NFL. That or his career will be pretty short. He is a stocky guy but that kind of running will get you killed at the next level.

AHAHAHAHA!!! 😂 😂 😂

Howell didn't run AT ALL prior to this season. He's running this year because we suck and he has to because we only have one receiver.

I've been doing quite a bit of research on Desmond Ridder lately and I'm more impressed than I expected to be.

I keep hearing that he's got accuracy issues, but I don't see it. He's got some consistency of accuracy issues at times, but he absolutely can throw an accurate ball. The inconsistency can be worked on.

I won't be surprised if he ends up going in the 1st round despite a lot of talk about him being more of a 2nd round prospect.

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
