lol look at his blockers (and I use the term loosely) chasing their guys from behind even on the brief highlight GIF. 

Everyone on that field is terrible. Willis is just the most physically gifted among them. He's an NFL caliber athlete playing against and with low level college talent. He's a man among boys. I could be wrong but I'll be shocked if it translates to the NFL and I definitely think you're setting the kid up to bust if you play him as a rookie.

He did good against VA Tech which I would imagine had superior athletes. I really like his maturity level and he seems humble. His arm is a strong NFL arm. I think he checks a lot of boxes if we can develop him right.

He checks a lot of boxes physically but hell, so does virtually everyone in 1st round consideration.

There’s no point to not tank and by tank I mean don’t make temporary 1 or 2 year deals meant to help you in 2022 only. Beating Washington in 2020 cost us getting SF’s three 1sts. Playing the AFC South (3-1, 2-10 against the others) in 2019 cost us Justin Herbert. I still get annoyed when people say draft slot doesn’t matter.

Whether Rhule will do it, who knows. If we lose Watson and go for Jimmy or Baker, we are just setting ourselves up for a few more 5-12 to 8-9 seasons.

A healthy CMC keeps this team out of the top 5 draft picks next year. That's part of the reason he has been sat when healthy at the end of the past two seasons IMO.

That dude is the Jake Delhomme of college football. Everybody wants to doubt him but when it's go time dudes a gamer.

He's not a good NFL prospect. Too small. Too many games where his numbers were propelled by short, safe completions. Same crap they did there with Tua. We better hope Stroud is legit or someone else emerges.

From what I’ve read he seems humble and is a hard worker. Give me that with those physical traits and it’s definitely worth a shot. I get the hesitation, I was also high on Trey Lance for similar reasons. You can’t coach/teach those physical traits and they both seem to have the intelligence and work ethic to be successful in this league. I would be ok with an OL as well, if there isn’t a QB we like.

I don't think he's an NFL prospect either but as a college QB? Yeah, the dude is underrated. I underrated him too. I thought he'd be the reason UGA ultimately came up short.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
