Been seeing a lot people who seem to think in terms of speed Pickett or Corral are on equal footing as Willis. Since there has been no official 40 from Willis who's to say who is right? For the last hour I have been asking the talking heads to see where they have him in terms of speed

Why are you so dead set on having a QB running the ball?

That's what RBs are for.

Because that's such a old school mindset. Having more than 1 way to attack a problem or situation is nothing but good. If the defense has more to worry about there is less they can throw at you. That really isn't debatable.

Like I said in the other thread he has elite quick twitch that will transfer to the nfl level escaping defenders in and out of the pocket to make plays. Basically he’s shifty as hell. I have not seen him have elite straight line speed tho. He’s also not small. He’s built like a linebacker. 6” 225 and people were saying his playing weight was at 230. Massive legs.

This the type of talk that makes me lean towards guys like Pickett. Dont know how things like this become more important for a QB. If you can process information, make smart decisions, read coverages then i want you as my QB. The athleticism is just a plus long as you dont have a weak arm to me. Mental game and strong enough arm to make all the throws is what checks out for me.

If he could run a 4.3, then why not prove it and get a guaranteed top 3 pick selection. That again is millions in the bank more if hes able. 

He ran a 4.3 at Auburn…..30lbs ago. So nah he’s not running sub 4.4 anymore. He’s prob not running sub 4.6 anymore.

I don’t give 2 shits how fast he is. I want a qb to pass the ball accurately. My qb doesn’t need to be running all the time.

Strongest arm in the draft. Can effortlessly throw off the run and hit the WR in stride. 

6'3  225lbs  4.4 40

Rocket arm

Great stats vs top of the p5 teams

 

I just dont get the appeal of drafting willis when we past on Fields last year.  I think you guys are just chasing your tail here.  Add to the fact that he is universally slated to be on the bench for a season at the very least.  I just dont see Rhule going this route

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
