How dangerous is Willis as a runner? What makes him special?

Accuracy is most important going forward for Malik. Not running. At 6'0" 219 running should not be his bread and butter. Linebackers are just as fast if not faster and carry more weight and will light him up in the open field.

We saw what happened to Darnold trying to run in the NFL, CMC. Running backs need that extra weight and extra gear to do what they do. 

You can't be sure if his running at Liberty is sustainable in the NFL. You can't realistically draft him to be a runner. Mike Vick was that size but he was a 4.2 guy.

No, basically teams with throwing RBs have never and will never win in the NFL. It's a passing league now. You can't make a duck into a chicken. You are the one living in the flat world if you think the answer is running the ball with your QB. Should we bring in the old Wishbone offense?

Playoffs?

Success is Success... that's as consistent as winning gets in the league I'm pretty sure there are a lot of playoff team in those 37 wins. Seeing has they never missed the playoffs since he has been their quarterback. 

Do the Ravens win in the playoffs? Haven't yet but how much of that is on 1 person vs the entire team. If he's good enough to win you 37 regular season games and only 12 losses in 4 years during the season he's probably not the problem.

Looks like he has one win. That’s one more that pocket passer Stafford until he turned what? 33? Then he went to a loaded team and won a Super Bowl.

I agree. I'm not sure why his regular season wins don't count as winning. Seeing as we as a franchise has never done that in back to back seasons... why do we get to look down on the ravens and Lamar who walk into the playoffs every year he has been under center. 

Bro, we lost as many games last season as he has done in 4 seasons. But you can't win with a "running quarterback"

They don't count because they don't support the argument of the people arguing against him.

All the "RuNnInG qBs CaNt WiN" people are just butthurt that the game has changed.

I get what you are trying to say about the game changing however if anything the game is changing in favor of the throwing qbs with all of the rule changes.  Just look at all of the accumulated passing yards the past decade or so.   But I get your overall point about qbs being a dual threat.   Personally I just think that is overrated.   I mean damn we just had the best ever and couldn't do poo with him.

You mean make it to the super bowl with Ted Ginn as your number 1 wr? Who was a bust by all standards until then. Never really having a decent wr supporting cast. Unless we counting Benjamin? Dude had us lose 2 games that whole 2015 and won 3 division titles. If anything we failed him not the other way around.

If not for that busted shoulder injury we are talking about a hall of gamer and greatest duel threat of all time. He would still be under center. His injury happened in the pocket and not running by the way.

Well we were one dumb coach away from having a "running QB" with a Super Bowl ring.

It's the classic nonsense argument of *insert thing that can't be done* has never *insert thing to do* that always gets made. Until it does happen. Then that just disappears

He was/is a bad passer that never had back to back winning seasons.  Make all the excuses you want but those facts.  

 

I thought you were ignoring me

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
