Pickett checks all the boxes but Willis isn't even an option? Man ten years later and this stuff still hasn't changed

Sorry, I forgot what a powerhouse Liberty QBs are. My bad. They are even better than the SDS QBs. Just ask the 49ers. C'mon man. Not sure what 10 years you're referring too but I'm sure it makes sense to you.

Yeah, that's why he was third string at Auburn.

What’s your argument? Cam Newton was The Golden Calf of Bristol’s backup at UF and Justin Fields couldn’t beat Fromm at UGA.

Jarrett Stidham is definitely no The Golden Calf of Bristol. He wasn't even a Fromm. Bo Nix was trash and that's the guy who ultimately made Willis transfer. Willis couldn't beat out Bo Nix.

He had one good rushing game game against p5 opponents in the past 2 years. 

Yeah by tough to bring down I'm not trying to imply that he is a good rushing QB. He lacks the speed to be a rushing QB type, but he is hard to bring down compared to your typical QB due to his muscly build.

At this point, just draft him. At best he looks legit but we lose enough for Rhule to get canned. At worse, he’s the reason chinless lasts minimum 2 more years.

Yeah, he doesn’t have the gravitas that a Cam or big conference prospects have, but might as well gamble for him rather than an average floor/possible bust with no value type in Pickett.

You would be doing Willis a grave disservice to start the kid year one. He is in no way ready to play in the NFL.  No amount of pixie dust is going to magically turn him into a pro ready qb in one training camp.

He's a long term project that has a slim chance to work out on well coached team. He has zero chance here.

So he fires Rhule? Draft his ass

It certainly wouldn't decrease our odds of drafting in the top 5. But seriously, do you see any of these kids having a chance of success starting year one under a lame duck coach? 

I just can't see how McAdoo can pull that off while installing a new whatever bs offense he can pull out of his ass. You know he rolled Rhules play book up and threw it in the trash as soon as he was hired.

I don’t but it looks like our route to go. Sometimes you’ve passed all the on-ramps before the tunnel.

Tunnel? Sir, that's a cliff up ahead.

Cliff or tunnel we’re shoving our poo in it or over it brother

Go back and watch Fields dismantle Clemson's defense in the playoffs and then honestly try to tell me Willis has a higher ceiling. Y'all musta forgot.

Then put that tape on side by side with Willis versus any P5 team.

I like Willis a lot. IMO, he is probably the guy I would personally take in this draft.

For SURE not in the first round, though.

He's too short. He's more in the Johnny Manziel, Geno Smith class of QB's. I would be livid if we drafted him at 6, especially with 3 generational OT's at the top of the draft and one of them is slated to fall to us

Whoa dude.. all 3 of these guys aren't generational. Matter of fact I haven't heard one of them mentioned as generational all have flaws.

this really smells like a smokescreen to me
