    He looks pretty damn good and we could have had him in the 3rd round...

    He does look good but he just looks like an injury waiting to happen to me, kinda like RGIII. We will see I guess.

    Titans look to be using his ability to run, taking the heavy burden of Passing away.

    There he goes throwing an awesome comeback pass to get to the goal line.

    Also they have a pretty good O-Line and an NFL Offensive Coordinator!!

    Lamar Jackson has proved pretty durable even though he runs it more than any other QB

    He has. Just the way Willis looked to me live when I saw him last year.

    Willis looking good, but dont forget tenn has an awesome run game with Henry.
    I wanted the Steelers to draft Henry, I also was excited when we got Najee. Henry much quicker than Najee, Najee dances too much.
    Before anyone comments about our lack of offensive line, Najee doesnt run with conviction.

    Also, the Titans punter Stonehouse is amazing...and he was signed as a free agent. No draft pick required.

    Because they didn’t listen to me.

    This is how we should be developing Pickett. Strong run game and not having him throw it 50 times. I know, Henry helps but still.

    Willis is built like a RB. RGIII was frail.

    He's averaging 54 yards a punt, that's crazy.

    Harvin's averaging 44.5...26th best in the league. And he cost a draft pick.

    We punt ALOT, so it could be fatigue.

    Come see Me when Willis wins a SB....until then ....whatever. Because like I see on here every day just having a winning record, and making the playoffs mean nothing (or does this just count for Ben, Tomlin, and the Steelers) only Championships matter.....Right....I mean....Right???:shrug:
    That's what I hear on here every freaking day....the rest is pointless...right???:shrug:

    Let's start with the QB just winning a game...something our 1st round draft pick has yet to do...

    Him and Ridder were my first choice considering they were forced to draft a QB.

    Tomlin would’ve wasted our 1st on Willis if allowed. I only say waste because the rest of the league viewed him as 3rd rounder. He might end up being better than Pickett.

    The right decision last year was no QB. If one falls then take a chance like the Titans did.

    That’s the whole reason why we got Mitch so we weren’t forced to draft a QB. Yet, they still reached.

    Let's not forget Tennessee has a very good defense, a complete stud at RB so that can make Willis look a bit better vs Pickett running for his life a second after the ball is snapped or a playcall of a 2 yard pass on 3rd and 7.

    At this point in the game, Willis has thrown 20 passes this season. Pickett has thrown 165 passes. For 5 games, that is averaging 33 passes a game.

    Willis last week proved exactly why it is lazy and inaccurate to judge quarterbacks by team wins and losses.

    He has made a couple of nice throws in a situation that couldn't possibly be easier with a dominant running game and great pass protection. Put him in the same situation Pickett has faced and the results would have been ugly.

    Winner....kinda...LoL.
    I honestly believe wins, and losses are a type of Qb stat.....other than that....
    I agree.
