My question is why I would want a "right-handed Michael Vick?"  Vick could run....but he was not accurate enough of a passer to hit the broad side of a barn if he was standing inside the thing with the doors closed.

And I would want a right-handed version of that to be my QB?

Not a bad question

Sorry but Pickett can't sniff this level of play. In one year Strong threw more TDs than TWO Pickett years COMBINED.

STRONG 2022

...i'm starting to lean that way...

I've just seen him get ran down from behind by random small program LBs too many times to believe any 4.3 talk. You don't see guys with that type of speed playing Liberty's opponents getting caught from behind hardly ever.

Do you really think if he was could run a really impressive time he wouldn't do it? 

My honest guess is that he is actually a 4.55-4.65 guy. I think he is far less fast, hence why he didn't run.

Which....honestly who gives a fug? He isn't a WR. If he has a crazy arm(he does) AND he is able to read the field, who cares?

Vick in a modern NFL offense is a scary thought. Don't kid yourself.

Josh Allen is faster than Willis. His running is comparable to Jalen Hurts.

I will pull for him as I pulled for teddy etc, but I will not hesitate to point out we have now fuged up 3 straight first round picks

 

I just dont see rhule taking a developmental qb at 6 with his ass on the line and willis not going to play

Drafting our next QB should have been in motion as early as 2020. You can talk about developmental as much as you want but rookie QB's are getting starting time early now. Whomever we take this year or next will not just be riding the pine regardless if Rhule is still the coach.

He’s a second rounder at best and likely a third rounder in general.

He really could be worth a chance in my opinion. Could still get a big time offensive lineman in the first as well or a big time anything except for a QB is we went the Strong route.

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. 

Interesting read up on QB1

So he's basically being compared to his draft class.  Earth shattering!
