But is he worst than PJ Walker? If that is the line, I think he makes sense for us. Outside of that, absolutely makes zero sense.

Yes. That is the point though, this game is not a great test of any of these QB's.

I would take him in the 4th-5th. He is a very good #2 QB. But, not for a team like us.

This isn't a good platform to judge Willis. Too much vanilla stuff.

Well...about that....

He has an attitude that you want in an offensive lineman. So he doesn't fit with Matt Rhule's philosophy. Nor does Neal or Cross or Linderbaum. We don't want nasty OL. We want "versatile" OL with poor technique and soft AF.

It's funny coming from the 1-15 season but this is so clearly the franchise low point.

We won't. Smart people make smart decisions. That isn't our franchise

It is funny that the more people look at this class the more they say the same thing. It isn't a good QB class. Period.

Agreed. Willis is the most talented guy, so it wouldn't make sense for Rhule to like him. I am curious to see how bad our team gets in another offseason.

And watch Darnold 2.0? Willis needs a lot of development and we have a staff that doesn't understand that concept at all.

At this point I expect us to trade up to take Pickett as all other 31 teams have him as a later first rounder at best. That's where I am at.

Keep in mind that these are projections. Combine and workouts haven't happened yet. These boards will get more accurate as real scouts start talking to reporters. All the media scouts.....well.....

It's also a has barely played QB thing. Remember that he just sort of accidentally ended being a QB in HS.

Yeah, there are no perfect solutions because there are no perfect people.

I think Flores made his bed when he took on the NFL. I think he probably knows that, as well. He was upset enough to likely never coach in the NFL again. But, he can make a bunch of money coaching in college, so there is that.

Exactly. AA is no different. A very imperfect system but it exists because of historic abuse in hiring practices. People may not like the idea of forcing hires or forcing interviews because it feels unfair. It isn't purely merit based. But that is also a very unrealistic viewpoint. Employment and advancement is rarely purely merit based. After all, regardless of any sort of race/gender/creed/religion how many people see naked and obvious nepotism in their fields? Happens ALL the time and all over. So if we throw out this false idea of a purely merit based employment system, these are why these checks(although at some level fundamentally unfair) exist.

The spirit of the Rooney rule is basically to force NFL teams to simply give opportunities to interview in the hopes that experience alone would start to change some hearts/minds and eventually black coaches would be given more jobs in the league. Mixed results so far but far less impact than I am guessing the league thought. Ultimately, it's going to take a lot of time. Owners are of an age range where you can expect certain attributes. Similarly, they are of a wealth range where you can expect certain attributes. If they hire enough similarly minded people, it makes it tough to change that culture. IMO, if the numbers of black assistant coaches, position coaches and coordinators keep increasing, the change is inevitable. The NBA had to go through similiar at one time. In rather typical fashion, the NFL is one of the slowest to change.

He is going full "woman scorned." Not even saying some of what he is saying isn't accurate but suing all 32 teams is a quick way to being permanently out of the league. I have no idea what poo-bird lawyer got in his ear but.....ooof.

Looks shiny and golden.....likely pyrite.

He is the only QB with elite talent level. Also potentially the lowest floor.

Missed the 3rd period due to fatigue(drinking and cooking until 2 AM the night prior). Glad to see we eeked it out.

I am okay with either of these teams winning. Looking forward to enjoying a Super Bowl without a hated team.

Would like to see Stafford/Donald get rings. After that a close second with the Bengals. That fan base deserves it. Then the Chiefs. Last is the 49ers. Don't dislike them but they have won plenty.
