Good God our fanbase is dumb. Willis apparently sucks cause he couldn’t lead Liberty to a win over Ole Miss with exactly 0 NFL prospects on his roster.

Willis is being judged completely different than the likes of Lance of Allen because he went to Liberty… put your bias and hate aside of the school and actually watch the kid.

The traits are there and an NFL coaching staff can coach him up. If Hugh Freeze can do it then just about anyone might be able to.

Spouting off that you were right about a prospect who hasn’t played a single snap in the NFL makes you look a fugging fool.

I like his highlight vid. Fun to start there. 

 

The full games clip vids? There’s a lot of trouble with those.

It's driven by what fans are saying.  It's all fan regurgitated hype.

If you read the anonymous quotes from scouts/FO people and listened to guys that actually played QB in the NFL, they were all down on this class. I think the amount of first round grades were limited.

It's not the fanbase that's dropping him in the draft.

Yeah they were also saying that the reason there’s a big run on these wide receivers is because the cost of a free agent wide receiver is going up and it’s a better idea just to go ahead and draft one y to get them cheap for five years.

Unlike running backs, receivers aren't a dime a dozen.  These teams are taking up a bad strategy if they think all these receivers are the same as number one talent at the position.

It's possible, but becomes more and more unlikely the farther he falls, statistically speaking. Anything is possible and it will be interesting to see where these QB's are in a year or three.

If Willis was their guy a trade would've been made, I think their choice has always been Howell..

Probably waiting on a run for QBs, Willis, Ridder, Corral...then we'll make a move, one can only hope.

When you don't have a second or 3rd I think your hands are tied. They don't want to end up in the same whole next year morgaging future assets so here we are I think.

That doesn't mean anything. We just proved that with Josh allen. What important is traits. What can a guy do well does it translate and so on. Our own jersey chinn is from no where and still plays at a high level.  

Josh Allen was a huge, prototypical QB with a big arm and good touch that struggled with accuracy but threw receivers open, had a quick release, and kept eyes downfield as he was scrambling in the pocket. Malik is a short QB with poor touch that doesn't throw people open and tends to just take off when there is pressure. There is a huge difference between the two

I mean he’s not being drafted to play right now. In the third round there’s a tonnnn of value though. It’s cliche but the scouting reports between Allen and Willis look identical other than Allen being more physically gifted.

    • And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year 
    • That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.
    • There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
