Willis has a cannon. Mac had a good arm but Willis is in the league with Elway, Allen, and Mahomes. Willis best attribute is his movement in the pocket and he is a gym rat. I hope he makes it but I think TN left a lot of good players out there in 3 for this project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Seriously though, I never thought they used the read-option/wildcat stuff on short yardage plays with Henry in the backfield enough. nine, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate to basically just try to replicate Baltimore’s offense down the road - that feels like a dead end. rns90, IowaOiler, kgsTitan, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but a supposed first round pick with supposed "elite speed" should have done much better than a longest rush of 17 yards and throwing 3 interceptions. People think he's a homerun hitter but he's not. He's elusive and has a thicker build but he's not a guy who's gonna pop a big run at any moment, he is not that type of athlete.

Yep hsrd. to judge those things when they play bigger schools the line can’t hold up. . I remember watching Ben Rothlisberger throw 5 pics against Iowa, Josh Allen throwing 5 pics against Nebraska.

He plays like him too, except he has an absolute cannon and is actually more accurate. I think Murray reads in the pocket a bit better, but Murray is a good comp. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he’s a “film rat” like Tannehill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Has anyone really seen his passing analysis? He was 3rd string for Auburn before he transferred, he threw like 14 passes Look it up, and remember this is in college. He doesn't read defenses, he's got poor pocket presence, he has accuracy issues, even more so on the run BTW, he flees the pocket rather than steps into it. He has a cannon but not passing ability as in ball placement, making reads etc..... The idea this guy is going to develop into a pocket passer is beyond wishful thinking, I don't believe the Titans do think this. And I also think people referring to him as a gadget player are also off. He's going to get a lot of snaps imo. Vrabel has a hard on for the run game and for mobile QBs, all defensive coaches do. rns90, oldschool, titansfan, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not uncommon in college, but it makes it harder to evaluate QBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will attempt to create something new out of the kid with the 4.4 speed and monster arm who throws with really good accuracy. If they can’t he won’t be the starter they design the team around. He won’t be anyways most likely, but he is a player with a lot of upside if you teach him how to read and manipulate defenses. It’s honestly easier to do that if they’re intelligent than it is to teach accuracy. He isn’t like Lamar Jackson. Kyler Murray is a good comp.
