Need that spot for OL most likely. Don’t think we can carry 3.
Y'all quit bustin' Willis's chops. We're leaning on our run game as usual, even with Tannehill. IF RT goes down, we'll TE the chit out of throws, maybe a downfield and using Willis like a Lamar Jackson to get by. He's struggling right now because they are TEACHING him something new that he hasn't done. We won't do that if we are relying on him to win games. They'll design plays/scheme to his strength.
Calm the F down. People. Now, Woodside- he doesn't have any natural skills and he apparently can't even game manage. He can hit the f-in bricks.
And in regards to holding the ball chart above, he is also at the top of target distance yards. So he's throwing downfield. The guys on the bottom right (short yardage delays) are the real chits on holding the ball.

I’m in the middle on this one. Woodside is poor and I have always thought so. Willis is miles away from being ready and I wish the FO would be more proactive than reactive at the most important position on the team. If Tannehill goes down we would then sign a capable back up. I wish we had groomed one a few years ago. We are equally screwed if Woodside or Willis have to start.
Woodside will be cut, he's hot garbage. Willis should be the #2, in today's NFL you can't maintain a roster with 3 Quarterbacks.
Arm talent+elite athleticism >Game management.
Is possible to learn how to manage a game.But is impossible to teach talent.
Wills should be our numer 2.

Yeah, it seems pretty clear that Willis is getting all these reps and playing time to get him up to speed quickly so he can be #2.
If they put Woodside on practice squad, probably won't lose him.
Willis would be gone on PS. Too much potential.
Not gonna carry 3.

Disagree if we’re talking about ability to help a team win the SB.
Game manager > a strong arm and ability to run around.
of course the best QBs can do both.
If keeping woodside eliminates either Kern or Stonehouse, gonna be mad.
I’d rather teach one of them to throw.

I love Kern, but gah I don't want to see us keep him over Stonehouse. Stonehouse going to be a weapon for the next 10 years.
Tbh who cares who the backup is? Willis isn't ready, but he's not going anywhere so he's likely the backup because we aren't going to carry three QB's. We're fucked if tanne goes down. Same goes for most teams if their starter goes down for a substantial period of time.
now we're arguing severity of "rawness"? How many "pro-ready" high draft picks bust? Most of them. It's a crap shoot either way. Nothing wrong with taking the gamble with a 3rd rounder instead of the 1st, even if statistically it's worse odds.
I do to think anyone was suggesting that drafting Willis was a bad move, it’s the calming of the hype train he’s got going so early on without doing anything to justify a hype train. If anything, hes played well enough the train should be slowing down.
It is a crap shoot either way lol
At best 40% of first round QBs are successful. Number declines significantly in subsequent rounds.
By your criteria, Aaron Rogers would have been cut instead of being a backup. Same for Mahomes. Neither were starters and neither were vets. No place for them on your team?
Both Rodgers and Mahomes were first round picks. Neither were "project QBs".
So you keep them as a third string qb?
But second string should only be reserved for a vet… per OP.
or is he just saying he would have started them and not given them the year or so to learn?
We change game plan to match Willi’s strengths if we have to rely on him. We’re going to run primarily with RT anyway.
As long as he isn’t playing pitch and catch with the other team.
