    How ironic is it Josh Dobbs is staring in place of an underperforming Willis? Hahaha

    How ironic is it Dobbs will possibly make the playoffs and play in a playoff game before Mason Rudolph(probably will never) and Pickett ?

    Last time I checked...Pickett is a rookie and didn't start until week 5. :facepalm:

    When Dobbs leads his team back from 10 points down, TWICE in the 4th quarter, like Pickett has...then we will crown Dobbs.

    Dobbs melted like a popsicle at the equator in the second half. SDOT has gone into hiding.

    Instead, he turned the ball over three times. With one last chance to pull the game out, he threw a fourth-down well short of the line to gain. So much for Dobbs starting a playoff game this year.

    It’s in the same realm of irony as Bubby Brister having two Super Bowl rings, I’d say.

    Willis the next great of the NFL couldn't even start over Dobbs.

    The fact that someone can truthfully say “two-time super bowl winner Bubby Brister…” is proof that the universe has a sense of humor

    Interesting read I saw this pop up today. I know a lot of fans were on board with drafting Malik instead of KP last year. So many draft boards had us taking him, and I'm so glad that's not true.

    I'm a fan of KP, but I know he has work to do. I'm hoping to see a lot in the way of development this year. But what a bust it would have been had we taking Willis instead.

    I think it's too early to write off Malik Willis. Everyone knew he was a project.

    Not only is it to early to call him a bust, he wasn't drafted till the 3rd round. By the 3rd round a player that doesn't work out might be a disappointment but doesn't qualify for bust status.

    I think the Titans are realizing he is even more of a project than they thought he was when they drafted him. Every concern I had heard and read turned out to be true. Maybe he will figure it out at some point, but his rookie season showed that he has a very long way to go.

    I still think his path to sticking in the NFL is in a Taysom Hill kind of role.

    Will be interesting if they grab Levis. 3 hour drive down I-65 from Lexington to Nashville.

    That is possible, which is a big part of why I was so relieved when the Steelers didn't spend a first-round pick on him.

    You can tell who wanted Him. LoL.
    Just goofing, but I never wanted Him. I'm glad We didn't.
    I still don't understand how people expect most Qbs that have played a certain way from 6 - 21....all of a sudden will change when they get to the NFL where it's harder.

    My whole thing also is ....When is too long to say it won't work for Him???
    I mean people say well He's a project....well when is He not a project??? When his contract is coming up, and You have to pay a guy that is still a project??? It makes no sense, and there is another just waiting to go even higher this year. LoL.
    Since when how a guy can run, do backflips,and jump.....have anything to do with playing Qb.
