I guess I can pull the reverse card as a black man myself. Is there some bias from annoyed posters because he may have been drafted to somehow replace Tannehill? Sure. But has he shown us much? No. He may open the run game a bit as most runners do but that's it. So honestly the "haters" are allowed to tee off on him.

VaTitan Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 But when is there any need to “tee up” on a 3rd rd rookie project QB? Most ppl like him are expected to bust out….unless you are super sensitive about your QB who shit the bed when he didn’t have his security blanket….

We get you don’t think Tannehill is good. That doesn’t mean Malik is going to be your savior. rns90, VaTitan, and JT2000 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we could be comparing him to Mariota and the opinions would be the same. Willis stinks.

Number9 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 10 hours ago, ctm said: Part of the problem is that a prospect with Willis's lack of development belongs as a #3 QB, not a #2. He was then thrust into a role he clearly wasn't ready for. If the Titans had a viable #2, there would be no criticism of Willis at this point. Makes sense to me.

I did not say this lightly. I asked, when has any third round pick received a bashing before he took the field. If this is normal, then surely some Titans player has received this type welcome. Whether you are willing to see it or not, dumping on a 3rd round p-r-o-j-e-c-t pick before he takes a snap is well outside normal. If it was normal, in 20 years of rookies you should have some examples. One Example? I doubt you can find this kind of B.S. anywhere in the NFL.

The people posting here are knowledgeable of this. They know he's a P-R-O-J-E-C-T. There is a certain amount of character I strive for and bashing any kid for getting drafted in the 3rd round isn't on my bucket list. Maybe if Willis was white, I'd shit on him. Bull fucking shit. I just expect more from this board. Their responses sound like the people who said in the 1960's, "Our coloreds are happy with things just like they are." Treat others as you would like to be treated. You have to reach a level of empathy to do that, first you have to understand you are treating someone worse than you would want to be treated. You have to have a high enough level of consciousness to realize when you are taking shit too far. I do not say these things lightly. This is my group. You are my Titans family. I will take any kind of pushback I get because I try to live my truth. Yes, it's a football message board. Wrong is wrong, no matter the flimsy excuse.

OzTitan Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 The bashing was proportional to the hype he had. He was also among the most well hyped 3rd round picks across general NFL coverage in recent memory. pat, and TNTitans 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he start before his rookie training camp? Did he spend time bringing his name up after a big win that Sanders didn't even play in? I suspect the answer would be, what sense would it make to even do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 We don’t hate him because he’s a bad football player. We don’t hate him because he has an irrational view of religion. We hate him because he’s Hispanic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
