Willis is pretty good

Post by TimmayLake » Sun Dec 28, 2025 3:19 am

I remember many mocked me when I said we should have drafted Willis a few years ago. He sucked on the Titans but suddenly he looks pretty damn good on the Packers.

He can be a legit starter on at least a half dozen NFL teams.

With Pittsburgh not being one of those teams. Coaching matters

Reread your own post then rethink what you said.

He would have sucked here too.

Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

I am still not convinced Willis is any good. I don't want a run first QB. They don't win in the long term, though that might be perfect for NHALS. Win 9 or 10 games a season because your one-read running QB is fast, then lose in the playoffs. Sounds like the perfect Tomlin QB.
