The same people that don’t want Willis wouldn’t have wanted Allen.

Very similar situations with what was around them and while neither had elite numbers (especially Allen) both have elite talent and physical traits.

This is an exhausted and incorrect take.

Josh Allen is 6'5

Malik Willis is barely 6'

They both don't have elite physical traits. Willis and Allen have completely different frames and upsides.

It’s not an incorrect take, the mobile QB has made size irrelevant. It’s more about how intelligent a player is. Size was always used to shame smaller QB’s by saying that they wouldn’t be able to see over the LOS. The way football is played now makes that irrelevant, it’s all about limiting hits.

Cam is a physical specimen and his body gave up on him. Russell Wilson is 5’11” and still playing at a high level.

With that in mind, their frames have literally nothing to do with it. They both have rocket arms, they both came from small schools, both are very mobile. The only difference is their bodies which I just pointed out above is irrelevant.

Nice try though.

spoilers: the same people who never want a QB will never want a QB

they live under the delusion of the perfect storm hitting us, just one year away, annually.

”let’s build an elite roster and get the 1st pick in the draft!”

It’s a fundamentally broken approach that, at best, will leave the team in Titans territory, good enough to pick 20 each season, but never good enough to compete for a Championship-and for some of them, this is okay, as long as the team is CHEWING CLOCK AND POUNDING ROCKS.

this time last year there was a desperate push to just wait one more year, it’s a strong QB class next year, just wait, get hog mollies, get a bellcow back, get a CEREBRAL linebacker, just wait, get Howell or Ridder or Rattler next year 

 

here we are. Same posters.

it’s not about the players.

But it isn't irrelevant. Russell Wilson is an exception. There are so many more examples to support the smaller framed QB will fail. Nice try though...

It took 2 seasons of planning and coaching to get Allen to where he is today. Do you see rhule having that much time and having the ability to develop him?

Almost every elite QB is an “exception” in some way or a rare talent that the stars will line up for like Cam/Luck. Tom Brady was a 6th round pick, Russ was a 3rd and too short, Allen was a raw prospect with bad college numbers, Mahomes was a system QB, Burrow was a one year wonder, Herbert was disappointing at Oregon, Jackson was too small to run like he did in college. IF you land an elite QB, it would more than likely be an exception. They all have risks.

Most QBs struggle their rookie year. It’s just part of the process. There are always exceptions, but even last year’s loaded class struggled as a whole. 2 years to get a QB to elite play should be expected…

      How is Charlotte FC doing?

      By DeSim · Posted

      You wanted to be educated, get prepared… What @MillionDollarCam said about Kahlina and the defense, we’re currently tied for 2nd for fewest goals allowed, with a current streak of 4 straight shutouts.  Positional thoughts… GK - Already mentioned Kahlina DEFENDERS - Back four have been solid, even more the central defenders, Malanda and Privett.  We knew Malanda had potential and he’s living up to it so far this season.  Privett, even though solid last year, his potential was never clear, but this season he’s showing his true potential.   Fullbacks, Byrne and Uronen also solid.  Uronen currently injured (not sure how long) and hopefully not too long cause the current backup, Joao Pedro has been a liability these last 2 games when filling in.  Byrne’s backup, we still have Lindsey who fills in nicely as a sub or whenever starts to give Byrne some light rest.   Other backups, Diop and Tuiloma. Diop has yet to play this season I believe and Tuiloma, below average to average.  MIDFIELDERS - Ashley Westwood is top notch, nothing bad at all to say about the guy, imo.  Box to box midfielder, takes ownership of the defensive midfield area when opposition has the ball and support upfield when Charlotte is in control.  Diani seems like a similar player as Westwood, but obviously not as good.  Petkovic,  Bronico play a bit more upfield but Bronico being more defense focused.  Same as Arfield and Urso, Urso a bit more defense focused.  Then there’s Djaegere, who even though he’s the no. 10 and should be the playmaking outfielder, just looks lost out there most of the time, and unfortunately he’s been out there plenty.  Cambridge and Bender (injury) have to played so far this year. WINGERS - Because of injuries, Djaegere has been asked to play there plenty and I already mentioned my thoughts about him.  Maybe playing out of position is why he looks lost but he makes the simplest mistakes and awful passes at times.  Main guys are Vargas and Abada.  Abada has been bc of injury almost 2 months I think? I believe returns next game against Philly.  But when he’s in, oh man the attack level picks up a lotttt.  He knows how to time his runs perfectly to get open.  Vargas is a threat to get into the box and get open as well but sometimes he misses the easy passes (idk if it’s bc selfish or just doesn’t see it) and decides to shoot, needs to work on his vision.   FORWARDS - Swiderski is currently out on loan in Italy, but Italy could buy him at the end of the loan, which may happen. Iuri Tavares, back up, his natural position is forward but has been playing this season mostly on the wing since we lack players there and injuries.  Below average to average, has his moments winning one-on-one.  Even though he’s no longer on the team, he needs to be mentioned  Enzo Copetti…brought in as a DP who never played to that form last year but not really “bad” either. but oh man this year… Horrible, I don’t even know how else to put it.  After 2-3 horrible games to start the season, Dean Smith started to played the back up more and more   And that leads me to Patrick Agyemang.  When he started subbed in for Copetti, such a difference.  Easily better than Copetti, which is insane if you think about that he came through CLT through the draft last year (which usually doesn’t yield good players quick) and Copetti was a DP.  So that led to Charlotte selling Copetti, he went bye bye and now it’s Agyemang’s spot and deserved. So in summary: Defense: STRONG Midfield: Outside of Westwood, needs work..starting with getting Djaegere out and finding a true playmaker   Wings: Solid when healthy, need depth Forward: Agyemang average but still growing, and is just going to get better. With Jozwiak out during the past transfer window and now Copetti, there’s 2 DP slots open for Charlotte to get some real good players. And seeing how Dean Smith has evaluated players this season, I trust they’ll get the right guys. Dean Smith, he’s done amazing for what he’s been dealt with and he’s not afraid of playing younger players over experienced ones.
