Just another example of an NFL trend:  we'd rather accept lower odds high ceiling / low floor guy than bring in a guy with a lower ceiling / higher floor.  It's one of the reasons the NFL is having the QB crisis that it is.

We've started looking at Kirk Cousins, David Carr, etc as stat padders, failures, not good enough.  It's the wrong way to look at it.  Consistent, winning franchises don't necessarily need Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes to compete.

A lot of this has to do with playing in the Tom Brady era.  A lot of teams got stopped short by Brady.  Not just in the Super Bowl, but in the playoffs.  Since 2001, there have only been seven seasons where Brady didn't knock at least one team - if not more - out.  Overall, Brady has knocked 30 teams out.

Never before has a QB so dramatically affected the outcome of the league for such a long period of time.  This is what teams are trying to fight.  They need someone who can beat the GOAT if called upon.  QB play overall has suffered because teams are trying to hit home runs instead of getting on base.

There are no QB's without risks. We are attempting to trade the farm for one who has looked everywhere he can to avoid settling for us. If we take a shot on one in this draft he is and should be a top option.

I like when people throw out the mediocre numbers and poor outings against elite college programs...

NEWSFLASH!

LIBERTY ISN'T A COLLEGE FOOTBALL POWERHOUSE.

Do y'all think it's harder for Liberty receivers to get open against better comp?  Harder for Liberty lineman to block elite college athletes?  But, I guess Malik is just supposed to block and catch for himself.😂

I want to know what the hype is on this guy. Very mediocre numbers playing bottom level FBS last year. 
 

2800 Passing yards 27 TDs 12 ints 

Vs

sam Darnold last year USC Stats 4100 yards 26 TDs 12 ints

I see mediocre, low yards, and lots of turnovers. Outside of an arm, what am I missing?

He is hyped because he is the best of a weak QB class. It's like being the prettiest ugly girl. He is extremely boom or bust and even more of a risk than when Cam came out. At least Cam showed that he could elevate his teammates around him and win a championship. I don't even remember a single offensive player on that Championship Auburn that has made it in the NFL. Nick Fairley was on defense but he busted too. I think that shows how much Cam carried that team. Willis hasn't accomplished any of that and scouts are just trying to report on something positive.

I'm just saying in response to the argument that he struggled against "better" schools.  If you consider them better, that's on you.  I know a few years ago, both of those schools were far better than Liberty.

Liberty wasn't even an FBS school until 4 years ago lol.

In my opinion, he is a shorter, less experienced and unrefined version of Donovan McNabb.

Willis is barely 6 foot. I'm all for taking the upside pick, but lets stop acting like this is a Cam scenario. You have to be exceptionally talented as an NFL QB at 6 foot tall, and I just don't see it, especially since if we take him, we will suck and be in line for a top 3 pick, and next year has 3 really good quarterbacks

      Look at the WRs in recent drafts around 19

      By Basbear · Posted

      2016 Corey Coleman (No. 15, Browns) Will Fuller (No. 21, Texans) Josh Doctson (No. 22, Commanders) Laquon Treadwell (No. 23, Vikings) 2017 Corey Davis (No. 5, Titans) Mike Williams (No. 7, Chargers) John Ross (No. 9, Bengals) 2018 D.J. Moore (No. 24, Panthers) Calvin Ridley (No. 26, Falcons) 2019 Marquise Brown (No. 25, Ravens) N’Keal Harry (No. 32, Patriots) 2020 Henry Ruggs (No. 12, Raiders) Jerry Jeudy (No. 15, Broncos) CeeDee Lamb (No. 17, Cowboys) Jalen Reagor (No. 21, Eagles) Justin Jefferson (No. 22, Vikings) Brandon Aiyuk (No. 25, 49ers) 2021 Ja’Marr Chase (No. 5, Bengals) Jaylen Waddle (No. 6, Dolphins) DeVonta Smith (No. 10, Eagles) Kadarius Toney (No. 20, Giants) Rashod Bateman (No. 27, Ravens) 2022 Drake London (No. 8, Falcons) Garrett Wilson (No. 10, Jets) Chris Olive (No. 11, Saints) Jameson Williams (No. 12, Lions) Jahan Dotson (No. 16, Commanders) Treylon Burks (No. 18, Titans) 2023 Jaxon Smith-Njigba (No. 20, Seahawks) Quentin Johnson (No. 21, Chargers) Zay Flowers (No. 22, Ravens) Jordan Addison (No. 23, Vikings) 2024 Marvin Harrison Jr. (No. 4, Cardinals) Malik Nabers (No. 6, Giants) Rome Odense (No. 9, Bears) Brian Thomas Jr. (No. 23, Jaguars) Xavier Worthy (No. 28, Chiefs) Ricky Pearsall (No. 31, 49ers) Xavier Legette (No. 32, Panthers) 2025 Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State | Tampa Bay Buccaneers Round 1, Pick 19 Matthew Golden, Texas | Green Bay Packers Round 1, Pick 23     JJ was the best WR for a couple years, JSN was 20th and just signed a 42.5 million per deal. Ravens love Flowers. Egbuka was a strong OROY pick   Seems like a great spot with these recent picks.......Best value has been WR....

      Is Chubba on the Trading Block?

      By Basbear · Posted

      false rumor, he's a team leader.  No clue what he is worth.....Rico came off the streets for 2.5million and put him to #2 for weeks. I doubt a team would give much more than a late rounder. Like Frank said above, 5th would be tops and very lucky.  He's got a fair contract and is well liked by players, coaches, and FO. No reason to trade.

      Biggest bust for every draft since 2000.

      By Coheed · Posted

      Set us back a few years but..a decade? lol what are you smoking man.   only 2000s move that’s come close to actually setting a team that far back wash owns trading for Deshaun, thankful we didn’t win that “sweepstakes” at least    I know hyperbolic commiseration is all the rage here but no team in the NFL is more than a few years away from competing if they go about things right (“right” being the key word here) just in the last few years see: Lions, Patriots, Broncos, Colts (pre DJ injury)
