I think its hilarious and awesome tbh lol
You are definitely not the lone voice with this opinion. I said it on draft day. If Willis was truly a dominant player, his stats would have been way better at Liberty. And for those who want to challenge that opinion by saying he didn’t have elite talent around him, I would counter that he didn’t play elite defenses either.
I just thought that was gas.
Fixed.
Not going to sugarcoat it, Willis looked awful and clearly is still a project. Even his running ability isn't scaring anyone at the moment. Obviously he has great mobilty but he doesn't know how to use it properly. Vince Young wasn't the fastest runner, but he was always a threat because he had great vision and was good at waiting for his blocks to open and follow them. Willis is just out there running in circles right now.
we won, derrick went off, and we gave O'hara plenty of tape to dissect and work through with Malik.
He cuts off whatever angle he has trying to get away sometimes -- what could have been a fall forward 6 yard gain, turns into 2.
to be fair, this franchise has NEVER had the footing to test 'future qbs' --- they've always been thrown in there and left to rot....
who???
McMVP sat for 2 years
For many of the same reasons. A bit early to totally give up on Willis, but he clearly has a very steep hill to climb.
Dual threat QB needs to learn to throw and needs to learn to run. Def failed the eye test.
maybe the game speed will come to him but he was crippled with hesitation and bad decisions.

I did love it at #86. It was worth the risk, but now that I’ve seen him in action numerous times, I can tell you he’s not going to be a successful QB in the league. See how that works? You all always say I’m negative, but I always try to be positive and give them a chance from the start.
I don’t understand why everyone has been hating on him so much give him a chance to develop. Part of me Does wonder if our coaching staff can help him develop though.
I’m not sure it’s hating on him as much as very low expectations. Given his college productivity, (good, not great) and current state of inexperience and extremely raw skill set, it’s probably a fair assessment given the overall success of 3rd round or later developmental QBs. Hope he makes it so we don’t have to spend a high draft choice or try to find another Tannehill , but not expecting that to happen.
It's interesting to read this thread on Monday morning. Everyone predicted Willis would put up bad stats, and everyone underestimated how bad they would be.
With T17 due some money next year, we don't have the luxury of developing a QB. At this point, it looks like we're paying T17 and drafting or signing another QB.

Failed the eye test. Supposed to be athletic QB. He did not look athletic at ALL yesterday.
If you can’t hit a wide open receiver and you throw an INT behind your receiver, you are not even an NFL caliber back up. And if choose not to run to a wide open side of the field, you don’t have the mental composition to be an NFL “dual threat QB.
