Really hits the nail on the head.

How many years did he start? Do you think he needs to sit a year or two?

He's not year one ready. Maybe can be year two ready.


He's got to learn...

-Understand passing windows
-Anticipation throws
-multiple reads
-go through progression faster
-reading defense

I say one year minimum. He can play year two, but I say he would struggle like Josh Allen and I would invest in an elite QB coach.

Footwork is the least of his problems, but he's brewing with a lot of raw talent.
 
Malik Willis in a nutshell is...

A prospect that bad team should be extremely worried about ending their executive careers early and a prospect that good teams should be salivating to get.

I just don't see how a bad team is going to have the patience to let him grow. We aren't in a position to be patient with him either.

The one read thing is very concerning but the athleticism jumps off the screen. I agree he looks more like a 2 round prospect when you consider the level of competition.

Drafting a QB this year and starting him will shorten Allen's tenure quickly. The best option is still Jameis but outside of injury, I don't see them beating him out in the next couple of years.

Let's see how the Bengals effect hits the draft 1st. You could see a lot of Pass catchers value surging and we could be stuck at 18th with early 3rd round talents.

Drafting a QB is in the realm of possibility. Reaching on Willis or Howell isn't that egregious.
 
Willis has great physical abilities but I don’t think he’s a NFL QB. IMO he’s going to be a Michael Vick type, strong arm, great speed and evasion ability, but a low completion percentage QB. He’s not nearly as polished as a passer as Hurts or Fields were coming out of college and they’ve both struggled badly. Yes they tend to make big plays at times but they’re not efficient QB’s.

I agree they could draft a QB if someone they like falls but I think the safest route is to try and bring JW back, bring in a blue-chip 1st round WR, and maximize the talent you have on offense.

His accuracy seems okay but the one-read thing is a cursed label for any athletic QB. Nevertheless, you are right Fields and Hurts were much better passers coming out against elite competition. I still don't know why the Bears hired a defensive coach.

That’s the most ideal offseason. I have very little hope that plays out and we end up in situations of being forced to draft a young QB prospect.

I like his coachability. So, I'm not exactly worried about it. He interviews extremely well for me.
