I didn't see the game as a judgement on Willis as much as it's an indictment on drafting tons of players on defense and treating offensive skill positions as an inconvenience and QBs as a luxury for next year.

TEN's WRs and TEs are non-existent and didn't catch any of the few balls Willis managed to get to them. They may be the worst WR room in the league. Locking KC down to 9 points for 3.5 quarters should be a win everyday if you have an offense that can score. A lights out D with no offense is near useless in today's game.

My bad I thought he was drafted two years ago. He really didn't look terrible for a rookie then. This year was dog poo for QBs. 

Unfortunately, Fields was awful as a rookie. His QBR was dead last, even worse than Darnold’s. In fact, Fields had the worst QBR since 2018 (Josh Rosen).

I think it just goes to show that you can’t judge a QB based off of one game or even one year as they can progress as long as they have tools to work with, Fields obviously does.

Most definitely. I do like that the bears got a lot faster than we did. You can't turn a runner into a passer early in his career. It has to take time and you have to fit the scheme to the QB.

I think it's that their D is playing really well and they're trying to protect their rookie QB. He wasn't supposed to play this year. He was a developmental pick. They're honestly probably playing with a significantly pared down playbook.

Right, and his rawness really showed on that OT drive where he tried to do way too much scrambling around. If they weren't counting on him palying then they probably should have had another veteran backup but that's how it goes in the NFL. Can't make any real judgments off of a handful of games like this.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
