    Our current OC is clearly not someone we should trust to develop a cold much less a super raw rookie.

    I think too many people are confusing inexperienced and raw with bad. To me, bad means you can’t do it regardless of how much experience you have, but the raw guys like Willis, have to be cultivated first. If we had thrown McNair in his first season, the results would probably be similar to Willis’s. The learning curve is steep and history is against him, but a bit too early to toss him. He may turn out to be a great gadget guy if nothing else. Only time will tell.

    Finally some sanity. He has the tools, he's just raw as **** and in a terrible situation. He could at least be taysom hillish

    Robinson isn't what he used to be since the injury. Etienne is the far better back.

    And you're missing the point. We can't keep counting on the ineptitude of the rest of the AFC South.

    Manning/Brady/etc were/are amazing QBs in the regular season. You can choke in the playoffs periodically if you're routinely one of the best QBs in the league.

    Tanne is a mediocre QB at this stage in his career.

    That's nice. But the point is we can't keep depending on the ineptitude of the AFC South teams.

    Nothing. I'm not saying we need to start Willis the rest of the year. We clearly won't win many more games. He isn't ready. But that wasn't the argument. The original poster mentioned giving Willis the starting gig next year.

    Willis may never amount to anything at all. But we're getting nowhere with Tanne at QB1, so that's why I'm willing to give Willis a shot next year. If he fails, then so be it. We'll have a top 10 draft pick in a QB draft class that should be very deep.

    I mean his stats are better across the board from last year. He's tossing TDs more frequently, turning it over less, more yards per attempt, higher completion percentage, etc.

    I will say, you be hard pressed to be worse than Urban Meyer at developing players at the NFL level. And maybe his improvement is simply him not being coached by literally the worst NFL coach ever. But there's no denying his performance this year has been night and day better than last year.
