    Beaten out for the QB job at Auburn of all places.
    Transfers down a level.
    Never has a dominant season in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

    Yup, sounds just like a future NFL superstar to me.

    And there will be many more in the pros. He won’t have any problem with that. Made everyone look silly at the senior bowl same as he always did.

    You’re reaching. His ability to run is not in question and the competition angle is overblown.

    Which he showed in the Senior Bowl game.

    Questioning if he can learn to do the things missing from his tape at Liberty in the passing game is a legit concern, questioning his running ability is just silly.

    So you post a bunch of Tomlin bashing then disappear for months and then come back just to post a Tomlin bash

    Pathetic

    I'm not reaching at all. Simms had it in the analysis you posted. He pointed out that Willis did not look nearly as good as a runner the times he faced top competition. He wondered if Pickett and Corral could have done similar things against such weak competition. One great run is just that, one run.

    Sure, Willis will probably be an effective runner, but he's not Lamar Jackson. For one thing, he doesn't have that kind of speed.

    Correct some people do like the pick and alot don't. That's why he wasn't some can't miss prospect like you're stating. Never said some don't like him but I said there was no consensus on him. The main thing I saw across the board was everyone saying he's the most nfl ready. But being the most nfl ready doesn't mean you're going to be a great qb.

    I don’t like the Dalton comparisons, hope his ceiling is higher than that.

    I don’t know what to expect from him, when I watch him nothing jumps out as wow but he gets the job done, makes the throws he needs to make, makes the plays he needs to make, so as long as he keeps doing that who knows how good he can be.

    There was nothing wow about Tom Bradys college tape either. Not saying he will be that good, just pointing out you don’t know until he gets out there and we see how he handles the pro level.

    It's valid to respond to the sissy whiners in here. Especially when you come on here for news and good conversation and then the 10 to 15 yahoos on here who have to cry over everything and anything that happens. These are the kind of men who likely are told what to do by their wives all the time and need to vent on some message board with a bunch of dudes on it in a projected way using sports as their outlet.

    I'm not a trained psychologist but I know pansies when I read or see them. And we have a lot in here. And most know who they are. And I think it's important to make that announcement regularly to either help change them into real men or make them go away. We are here for the few who are good sources of info and knowledge, not the pu$$ies.

    Please find the post in which I suggested he was a can't-miss prospect. It will take you a while. I'll give you a hint. It doesn't exist.

    Who knows more about being an NFL quarterback? J.T. O'Sullivan or Kurt Warner?

    Pickett's senior-year tape was a lot better than Brady's, but that doesn't mean much. The thing that makes Brady truly special is his mind. He is about as driven an athlete as you will ever encounter. He just seems to be able to process the game faster than everybody else. I certainly don't expect Pickett to be that. I think his upside is more like Burrow than Brady, but he's a longer shot to get there than Burrow was coming out of college.

    Willis checked his daily Bible verse app the day before his official visit to Liberty in Lynchburg, Virginia, and the app displayed 2 Corinthians 3:17.

    Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.

    The next day, when Willis walked into Liberty’s facility, he saw the verse on the wall.

    “I’m like, ‘Ain’t no way. Ain’t no way.’ I ain’t even tell nobody that,” Willis said. “I just kind of like kept it to myself. But I knew right then I was like, ‘Yep, this the place I’m supposed to go.'”

    I could see this happening ......if it wasn't on a app.
    If He was looking for a sign.
    More likely it was the only place He had a chance 2 start.

    And Brady wasn't doing that early on. That's something it took him years to master.
