For the Willis isn't that fast crowd

Wasn't targeted at you. Simply trying to point out he's a much better athlete than he's been given credit for. To many people are saying Pickett and Corral would beat him in a foot race.

Got ya, my bad wasn’t meaning anything towards u. I just want to stay away from Willis or Pickett

I'm one the people who made comments about Willis not being as fast as some seem to think. I still haven't seen anything to change my mind. I'm not disputing that he's probably faster than Coral and Pickett (Not sure if he's as fast as Ridder...maybe). I watched some tape (not as much as Luke K., or even as much as some of you) and noticed he was run down a few times from behind when scrambling. That worried me because I didn't watch a ton of tape and noticed it several times. Old Dominion and Gardner Webb linebackers tracking him down. It bothered me. 

I guess I expected to see him really dominating with his arms and legs at that level and I didn't see it. He's talented, there is no doubt about it- but I worry how athletic he'll look during NFL competition. He reminds me a watching PJ Walker in his XFL tape for some reason.

Read somewhere he was running 4.4/4.3.

Regardless I don't care about how fast he runs. I just care about his 1 read tendencies and bad judgment calls. Also his height concerns me slightly. 

I saw a post that reported he ran a 4.37 at Auburn. 

If he is anywhere close to that He should have run at the combine or his pro day. His draft stock would have really shot up with some teams.

I agree with you concerning the other issues. He has a high ceiling I think- but he's a project that could go bust IMO.

    • How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.
    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
