Because he's basically just Bryce but with probably better physical traits and not quite as good of a mental side of things, which in the end would be a wash. Willis just lacks the potential upside that you'd get with a number of other options. Either go for a lottery ticket guy like Hooker, or maybe a real long shot on someone like Joe Milton or Trey Lance and see what happens. I'd take any of Hooker, Milton, or Lance over Willis if we're going that route next year. -

They took Hooker in the 3rd before Goff had that season last year and they signed him to a monster extension of $50+ million a season. Through no fault of his own because Goff has been healthy, Hooker hasn't done anything to let the Lions ask for the same draft pick return on him that they used to take him, let alone to get a better round pick. Their offense is built to work with a game manager QB, they could easily go out and get a vet QB as a backup that would be just as effective for them, if not more so than Hooker, as if Goff goes down and they need someone to step in, a vet QB with years of experience is probably going to give them a better chance of staying in contention. If Goff were to go down next year, turning a SB caliber team over to a 3rd year guy who has thrown less than 10 passes in his career seems like a scary proposition. He's a better project QB for a team still trying to find their future QB than a backup on a team with legit SB aspirations and needing to step in for an injured starter mid-season. So for me, trying to get someone like Hooker is the best way to not completely punt on QB next year without going all in on a new QB which would take us out of the possibility of taking one in the 2026 draft, it's the best of both worlds. I'd also throw Joe Milton into the mix there as well (I swear I'm not a Tennessee fan lol) as the Patriots have no need for him and he does have a legit cannon for an arm, see if you can harness that and improve his decision making to turn him into something legit.
