I don't quite understand why Pickett's standards for a high ceiling are so high (and unattainable, how good would he be with all of that?) but Willis just needs to be an extraordinary athlete and his ceiling is high.

    He created a roboquarterback.

      Drew Brees didn't have Drew Brees like accuracy his first two years in San Diego. His ceiling was in the basement at the time.

          Every topic is a chance to go on a "woke" rant.

          What does Willis' upside have to do with wokeness? Players are drafted every year and the talk of upside is discussed every draft but somehow its woke when it comes to Willis? What about the hope people have for for Mitch Trubisky after a year off? Is that woke too?
          I get it.

          I just see it as silly and pointless.

            What is the FOOTBALL point he making here?

            Even OTHER PEOPLE who don't like Tomlin legitimately (Windy City even Maniac) are getting uncomfortable with the bizarre rhetoric of some.
            I'm not disagreeing with you at all.

            There is no point. I see it as silly/ridiculous.

              In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

And next year the 3rd QB taken will be view more favorably than he is. It was a weak QB class. Yeah this year we had the pick of the litter but it wasn't a very good litter. We took out shot. Yep. I'm mixed and wanted Lloyd in round one and Corral in round three.
                Pickett in Rd 2 or 3 is pure speculation. And if you ask the mocking world, he wasn't going to last to the end of Rd 1....

                And if you ask me I would prefer to miss out on a future all-pro Lloyd than miss out on a potential franchise QB.

                  last year we were the first team to pick a RB and then there was a run on RB’s.

                  I’m sure if there was a gap after we picked Najee they would say he would’ve been available in the 2nd.

                  We got who we wanted and this is after trying to move up to get him. What more do people need to realize Pickett was our guy?

                    The most common refrain I've heard re: the draft was that Carolina was going to take Pickett, but they couldn't believe that they could have the best OT on the board.

                    Might Pickett have been around for us in the 2nd? Who knows.

                    But if we really believed that he can be a franchise QB, I think it would have been foolish to cross our fingers and wait. If you think the QB of the future is there you pick him. You even trade up for him (which we tried to do).

                      Calm down Einstein, my comments never mentioned anything about mobile QBs. You went from thinking you're a genius to imagining I said something that I did not. In the process you skipped a bunch of logic, reasoning and critical thinking skills. (Post #33)

                        Should I go tell all of my black neighbors in my affluent Chicago neighborhood to stock up on cardboard?
                        Don't lie. I never mentioned that Willis was going to live in a cardboard box. Your imagination is hilarious! (Post #33)

                          Inflation is good for woke people like you. Now you need just $600,000 more and you can live in a house too. Although, you'll still be a low class person and NEVER as good as me because you're a chronic liar!

                            and when people see someone using language that implies ignorance and bigotry the last thing we need is someone trying to “flip it” to shield that person from taking their medicine.
                            Taking their medicine, from you a liar?

                              Bingo, flippy you got it. There was no point to my comments other than to trigger the woke gang. Gotta admit it proves my point about them. They keep imagining the terrible things I've said, which were not even in my comments. Hilarious.
