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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
