    Pretty sure if THill was accused of stealing QB playbooks, it would be a giant nothing burger. If Goodell sent his hired henchmen in to look for his college accolades, I have no doubt the largest of “news” sources would jump on it bigly and pretend it’s a bigger story. Might even try finding ways to attach it to other stories blown out of proportion like Brady’s deflated balls.

    I don't believe anyone HONESTLY believes Willis has a shot at being an NFL starter at all. Most are just so ready to move on from Tannehill that they're hoping to polish a turd in to a diamond.

    I agree mostly. History shows you can’t expect any 3rd rounder to ever become anything, exceptions to the rule weren’t expected.

    That said, tons of fans are so hyped on what a draft day “steal” he was, that he’s considered a first or second to many so expectations are certainly higher.

    Personally, not only do I hate the term “steal” in reference to a draft pick that was predicted to be a certain pick level by people who are often wrong (even if less than the avg Joe) so there is no “steal” until they outperform their draft position.

    I also was immediately lost on all the comparisons, right or wrong, to the previous failed QBs who are really RB, ie LJ, Vick, or the other usual suspects. To be successful at all outside an occasional exciting run, he must, must, must, learn to throw from the pocket and make a couple reads.

    What i saw, was that he has a long way to go. Hope he does well and learns the NFL game.

    How many so-so run oriented QBs come in to the NFL, change their game and become quality NFL QBs? I'd almost be willing to bet Willis will be lucky to be a backup in 3-4 years, much less a starter. I'd love to be wrong but at this point he'd have to be a complete different QB than what was in college and what he is now and that's asking a lot.

    I just don't see what other people seem to see. I don't see a Michael Vick, Steve McNair etc etc etc. Yeah, he obviously likes to run around... But it doesn't look all that dazzling to me. Just a guy running around when he should be slinging the ball, mostly.

    No matter where he was drafted, I just don't see "it" in him. Nothing that jumps out as he could be special.

    Developing a QB from nothing to an NFL QB just doesn't happen like people pretend. You have to have something more from the start. These players don't play football from peewee through college and then get in the NFL, change their game and become great all the sudden.

    I really disagree with this I do see the "it" factor .

    The iq is just not there though and idk if it will ever get better.

    But to say he doesn't have "it" is kind of crazy.

    A friend of mine knows the AD at Liberty (Ian McCaw) and he texted me when we drafted Willis telling me we just got the best QB in the draft..take it for what it's worth, time will tell I guess
