He was literally the worst QB under pressure by passer rating in the draft. I watched enough of Willis against Ole Miss, Louisiana, Louisiana Monroe, and Troy to know that he is going to struggle in the NFL as a passer. Sure, he can run, but he can't throw guys open and he can't handle pressure even with his escapability. 

As Steve Young said, you can't teach accuracy. Willis doesn't have it. Sorry. 

Give me Grayson McCall over Willis, Howell, Pickett, Ridder, et. al.

Josh Allen is an exception to that.... That being said Josh Allen is almost as physically talented as Cam was Willis isn't even close.

I think the secondary and linebackers deserve some credit for covering WRs to the point that Baker and Darnold had to go to second and third reads. Burns batted down one pass at the line and seemed to be playing with some big-time energy.

That said, yeah it's still kinda strange to see Fan Fest be a glorified practice (with a cool fireworks show) as opposed to the old days of full pads and tackling everybody but the quarterback. But who knows? Maybe we'll get some pride stickers on helmets this year, and we can redshirt Corral to buy another year of contract control.

we trying to big dick parenthood or something?

Well I'm the boss of my own company and work less than both of y'all and still have time to be a pretty house husband.

Just skimmed through the last 30 minutes. Darnold looks bad/the same as end of last year. Either we have an elite secondary or our offensive was just not clicking at all. Maybe the D knew there was no rushing threat so they just sat back and locked up the WR's. Doubt they'd be that protective over training camp footage just to turn around and run actual plays on live broadcast

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
