If that's my 3rd round rookie QB in his first live NFL action I'm pleased. He didn't look overwhelmed and showed a legit NFL arm and plus athleticism. Overall, I'd consider that a positive preseason debut. Anyone expecting him to be running around like Lamar Jackson or Michael Vick just wasn't being realistic. Yeah, he can run a little bit. But this guy got ran down by some small school LBs. He ain't Lamar or Vick.

If I was a titans fan I would be happy as hell watching that quite honestly.  I just hope corral gets as much playing time tomorrow

Honestly his running is like a Cam Lite. Strong runner that can run through arm tackles and quick enough to escape trouble. 

I thought he looked a great deal like cam.  From the running and escaping in the pocket to also the bad mechanics and strong arm where he overthrows due to just slinging it out there.  If they can work with him to get his feet correct he has a chance.  I suspect though he is always going to play with that high energy and make some incredible throws but also some "Wtf was that" as well.

Your numbers are off. He was clocked at 21.19 on an interception return and his 40 time was a 4.66, a time he improved to 4.57 at Coastal’s pro day.

I’ll give it to you that clocked speed isn’t the best indicator because the further the distance the more time to build up speed. But just taking a look at the clocked speed list, all of the guys listed are guys that you’d consider to be some of the fastest in the NFL (https://www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/nfl/news/nfl-fastest-players-2021-tyreek-hill-lamar-jackson/bhytiud9irwa1094y4kt7bqfl).

I’ll also mention that a QB hitting a time over 20 MPH is a pretty good indicator of their speed because most QB’s aren’t breaking long runs where they have time to build up that speed.

Willis isn’t as fast as Lamar and Vick but he’s still very fast. In reality he runs a little clunky which probably appears slower to the naked eye. All the numbers seem to indicate that he’s still a very fast player.

I was adjusting for the pro days being stop watch timed and the tendency for them to be .1 to .2 seconds faster than combine times but your point is valid.

Haven't we all generally agreed that a single preseason game doesn't tell you everything you need to know?

Willis might turn out to be good or he might not, but I'd say it's a little early for anybody on either side of that debate to start crowing that they've won.

I don't think anyone is saying that.  I think some people are just impressed he looked pretty decent in his first action considering how raw of a player he is.  He also showed he can be somewhat elusive at this level that is wasn't just him running over D2 players.  Vrabel seems to be doing the right thing.  He wants him to grow as a passer so he pulled him for not passing enough.  I like it.  Honestly there isn't going to be any winner or loser in this debate anyway.  It all will come down to if their staff can develop him properly.  I seriously doubt ours could.

He hasn't shown any of that it's pre-season its a practice without customized game plays situational play calling against mostly backups... Heck even last year TMJ was being touted as the better of the LSU receivers in PRESEASON. Jumping to conclusions from pre season is silly heck if I remember correctly Cam was horrible his first pre season.

Twitter seems to think he was really good.

His debut was probably closer to somewhere in the middle but he did some nice things. Obviously his escapability translated to the NFL and he showed off his elite arm strength... but definitely needs to work on processing the game quicker, knowing when to live for the next play, and not taking needless hits.

Decent debut though:

6/11 / 128 Total Yards / 88.1 Passer Rating / 1 rushing TD

I’d take those same stats from Corral and be just as content.

 

Sounds just like someone who used to play for the Panthers.

TMJ issues have been injuries.  I think he can be a good WR if he can stay healthy.  Plus our whole offense imploded after a couple games last year.  Again no one is jumping to conclusions just impressed with his first outing.  Moving around against backup NFL players in still impressive vs D2 college players.  He still has a long way to go (as stated his coach did pull him for not throwing enough).

Quick Sam Howell clip...

Damn that's good ball placement 🤔

Sam has been talked up a good amount. McLaurin stated that he really liked what he was seeing out of Howell which is kind of an odd thing to say about a late round QB.

Wouldn’t totally shock me in the least if this QB class is better than people think. I think all in all that Pickett, Ridder, Willis, Corral, and Howell can be capable backups. One or two might even come out as good starting QB’s.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
