    And on a lot of plays the Titans use only one ILB

    He certainly can’t do worse than Woodside. At least Willis has a ton of upside which Logan does not.

    My complaint is he's not showing to be any better than Joe Blow who won't be on a team tomorrow and people are acting like he's something to be proud of.

    It's not about expectations...it's about what I'm seeing on the field versus the hype he's getting. It just isn't deserved.

    Wouldn’t hype and expectations go hand in hand??

    What you’re seeing on the field is a raw talent getting his first taste of pro ball. You can’t expect a prospect that’s been drafted as a project, to be a polished and finished product in his first few pre-season games. Especially behind a line that’s near equivalent to the one he was behind at Liberty.

    Edit: I’ve probably mis-read/understood you’re mention of hype here. But I haven’t seen an absurd amount of people anointing Willis our savior or calling for him to take over for Tanny. While I have seen plenty of posts ignoring the potential he’s shown to be able to grow into a NFL caliber QB.

    I'm not saying anyone is anointing him the starter. But there's certainly hype from the media and fans. I haven't seen this "potential" that everyone keeps talking about. (He did play better tonight at least) I've seen a dozen other nobody QBs around the league play as well or better than Willis has and they aren't getting the same hype. Really the only reason he's getting any mention is people expect him to be better than a typical 3rd rounder. If he wasn't projected higher in the draft etc, no one would be talking about him. That's my point.

    Here’s what I see that I believe are special traits to be developed more but he’s shown flashes of beyond Joe Blow:
    1) Very strong arm
    2) Able to make off platform throws
    3) Good wheels to add that running dimension

    Now, he needs much more work in processing his reads, timing, footwork - gotta stop slinging that right foot when he throws. He might get all that down and become a consistent threat, he might not. I think the promise is there and I am hopeful.
