From NFL Total Access
And I think many are missing the point....is it his 'job'? No but as a leader he needs to choose his words better....Willis no doubt will learn from Tannehill but Tannehill should have taken the professional leader approach as it came across as if he doesn't want to or won't help Willis..which I'm sure is not the case.
Unfortunately Tannehill is under scrutiny since the Bengals game so different words would have helped.
We will just have to agree to disagree on this. After the draft is over we are in the part of the offseason where there is very little news worthy stuff with regards to the NFL, so the talking heads have to almost create their own stories just to have something to talk about on the football related shows. I think that is all this is, people creating a story so they have something to talk about.
T17 was truthful in its not his job, but stupid for stating it openly
it is MWs job to apprentice in the QB room and the QB coachs exact job to mentor all QBs there
it would be better if T17 was open to being a mentor, and he did not say he would not do so, but not required
McMVP fled to murdermore rather than mentor The Diva & Chandler was less than receptive about mentoring McNair. This attitude is not uncommon

Favre said something similar when they drafted Rodgers, and obviously Rodgers turned out ok, so I dont get the outrage over this. As you say, this isnt something that is uncommon.
not in the least... Buss Cook engineered the departure exactly like B11s agent engineered his departure
Buss Cook did the exact scenario with GB & farve but msm called BC/Farve out on it
Sad panda.
The more I watch him, the more I feel like we've found our franchise QB.
I've watched 3 Liberty games today, including the one down in Ole Miss.
One thing I've learned is that he's not as inaccurate as people claim he is. He literally has defenders in his face on every play, due to a weak OL. His WR's dropped a lot of bullets and his offense was just depleted of talent.
My only concern with Willis is that he does go down very easy for someone his size, therefore he doesn't remind me of McNair at all. Guy is built like a Stallion and has calf muscles are the size of watermelons.
There's no denying in his arm strength, he definitely can sling it.
He doesn't remind me of Vick, McNair or Mahomes like some people say. It's not a popular opinion on here, due to the fact that a lot of people didn't like him, but he reminds me a lot of Jake Locker. Locker was blessed with talent galore, but was surrounded by bums and awful coaching when we drafted him. I was a massive fan of Locker and if he could've stayed healthy, he probably would've still be our QB right now.
Willis will be our franchise QB. Book it, folks.

Hopefully these GMs are wrong about Willis ..getting him in the 3rd hope will get a steal... Seattle passed on him at 72 as well...not worth a 3rd to them?
Here's why the Seahawks passed on Malik Willis and other 2022 QB prospects in the draft, per report

Seattle passed on him, because they know they are entering the Bryce Young and CJ Stroud sweepstakes.. They are basically letting the world know they are tanking for either of them.
The Seahawks are done with Pete Carroll after this season. Shocked they didn't get rid of him already.
Full tank mode for them, therefore they will get their top QB in next years draft. Main reason they passed on Willis.
Willis going to make them pay, because we all know how Alabama and Ohio State QB's pan out in the NFL.

If T17 leads Titans to POs he will be only Titan/Oiler QB to lead team to POs 4 straight years...
I could see the Jake Locker comparison. I agree he doesn’t remind me at all of McNair.
He reminds me of Deshaun Watson but he’s got a LONG way to go before he’s on that level.
