Nothing I have said is embarrassing except you don't like the guy.. you are closed minded and can't seem to grasp the concept that Willis has generational skills... even if it doesn't work out having elite running ability and top 10 arm makes him intriguing. He won't get out of the top 10. Rhule has said it everyone seems to see it but you boomer.

He's no smaller than Hurts who is a dangerous runner... I m not asking him to run over defensive linemen but to break tackles which he lead the league in. Vick broke tackles in the pocket and if needed challenge corners for a first down. You don't want your qb taking hits anyway so sliding will usually be what he does anyway.

It is speculating... but it looks a lot like what San Francisco did last year to aquire trey Lance. If you want to say Daniel Jeremiah doesn't know poo... that's fine. But it's easy to see someone falling in love with Willis's tools.. there is NO better option this year.. if you need to gamble on qb why not gamble on the biggest arm and fastest playmaker. Doesn't mean it's right or the right choice but it's definitely tempting..

This isn't the same line as last season. You signed 2 guys Bozeman and the rams guard. If you plug Christensen in at LT you basically have a decent shot at already having upgraded...

OK I see you using this Tarkenton, Staubach defense with good success but let's look at those guys.those guys were the "runners" of there day and my response to that is they aren't even in the same stratosphere as vick or cam as a runner. With 60 carries being the most either has had in a season neither even getting 500 yards.

Hurts, Mariota, RG3 are failed examples. But my point is the success of the aforementioned lead to coaches trying to find their own version. Even if it was a cheap knockoff. The reason I can't say Luke changed the game at linebacker because he played the game exactly the way it has always been played but was very good at it. You can't say that at Cam because, look at the deigned runs, the RPOs used to fake defenses into thinking his patented power goalline rush was coming and instead he throws. Things like that you weren't really afraid of with Brady or Stafford whoever... you don't defend Cam in the readzone the way you defend those other guys. I think that difficulty absolutely made coaches say I want 1 of those. Do you think people stopped being born that can't run and throw from the pocket? No... in college anyway, it's easier to win with a guy who can run and throw vs a guy who can't move at all. That has infiltrated the league. The pocket passer is now that the mobile qb use to be.

I think Vick.. Cam Newton those guys what they do with the ball is generational. Would both go number 1 if their classes could be done over again? Probably. Why we don't see more vicks and Cams is because they are generational talents. You can take a fast guy and put him at qb but can he throw it 80 yards like vick? Or a big guy at qb but can he run like Cam? Or as fast? Those guys Changed the position because they made scheming against them headaches and nightmares. Even if you defeated them you could just play them like any other qb.. they needed their own specific template. I don't think you get to Cam Newton without Vick opening the door to the dual threat.. You don't get to the rise of the RPO dual threat system we see all over the league now. Without Cam does RG3 go number 2 the following year? Guys like Hurbert who were seen as runners in college, Lamar jackson, Marcus Mariota, Jalen Hurts all these guys don't go as high as they did in the draft without the success of Cam Newton. That's what I mean by changed the position.

I feel like people seem to underrate Willis's ability as a runner... I see lazy comparisons to Johnny football guys who run a 4.7. People have a hard to comparing Willis to a guy because we really have never seen a guy with his blend of skills. This writer has him top 5 all-time as a runner from the position. If your that good at something that makes you special. He's not Vick or Jackson elite speed,but he's faster than Josh allen and Russell Wilson. He runs with a power neither of those guys can come close 2(vick and jackson).Willis was second in broken tackles last season with legs like tree trunks its not hard to see why.
