OILERMAN Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 3 minutes ago, BlueThunder said: So they are going to carry a guy on the roster that is not even a backup? What do you see for him? Special plays? Special teams? They'd be more than willing to make him the 3rd QB inactive all year. Otherwise if he wins the back-up job and is active I'd guess he'll play in some packages on some short yardage plays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points wise, he did that in the first preseason game. But he’s still gotta throw the ball. I think there’s a 30-50% chance Willis gets cut. He’s getting the opportunity but also he needs to perform. Running around with his head down against base defenses isn’t all that impressive. Better odds than you being right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree 30-50% chance of Willis getting cut is too high, but I don’t really care. Willis is battling Woodside for the backup spot. That’s a 50/50 battle for sure. Say it’s also a 50/50 chance Titans keep 3 QBs. Are mixed probabilities multiplied? Ie 50% chance winning #2 x 50% chance to carry 3QBs = 25% chance of Willis getting cut. Maybe that’s a better number. I just think it’s greater than “0% chance he gets cut” and I don’t need to be an ass about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way they traded up to take the kid without having the intention of keeping him. Is there a chance? Sure, but outside going full on panda he makes this team.

If there’s a chance a 1st round pick gets cut, then there’s a chance a 3rd pick gets cut. It’s greater than 0%, even if the safe bet is on him being on the roster.

Simply because the odds are better that no one will claim Woodside vs Willis getting claimed immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume he would have to play ST, instead of just holding a clipboard. He might actually be a viable option for a RPO on 3rd down lined up as a back. Too soon to tell. Did you just say a QB has to play ST to make the team? Lmfaooooooooooo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a 0% chance unless something off the field comes up. They didn't draft him thinking he was anywhere close to being a starting QB and they knew exactly how far behind he was. The stuff he has to learn (Taking snaps under center, calling plays in the huddle, going through progressions, footwork etc) is not going to be fixed in one off season and they knew that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O my bad on the ass part then. Also I just went back and looked at every draft going back to 2010 and every 3rd round QB made the team, quite a few as number 3 qbs. Just was curious so I thought I'd add that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiscotitansfan Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Holy fuck there are some dumb takes in this thread, but unsurprisingly by the people you'd expect. 0.000% chance the Titans do anything that could even lead to Willis not being on the roster this year or next year barring legal issues.

No1TitansFan Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Wouldn't surprise me in the least if they give Woodside first crack Saturday night and more snaps and then give Willis a majority of the snaps in PS3 when the roster will already have been pretty much decided. Given that they're having joint practices with 2 different teams, RT is probably going to get very little work in PSGs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
