Malik Willis debut

gogiants : 8/12/2022 10:24 pm
Willis played the first half of the Tennessee game on Thursday. Looking at some highlights and reading about it, it sounds like He is what they said he was. He demonstrated his ability to run with 38 yards on 5 rushes which included a seven yard touchdown run. He showed his strong arm with a 48 yard completion. The longest one so far of recorded preseason stats. (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/stats/player/passing/nfl/preseason/all/.

On the minus side he was pulled from the game by coach Mike Vrabel for not passing the ball. This on a play that he ran for a first down after picking up like 17 yards. He supposedly held the ball long and was too quick to run. However he did walk away with an 88.1 passer rating on 6/11 passes.

He will be a fun guy to follow in the preseason and how he develops. On the depth chart I believe he is listed as the third string QB. But behind Logan Woodside I don't think that will last that long.

People defended Atlanta Mike Vick's play right up to the dog fighting incident even though he was an awful passer. People love QBs that make flashy plays with their legs.


Vick had a winning record in Atl and won a couple playoff games there too.

How about people like plays being made, flashy is subjective. If my QB makes plays to win games, call it whatever you want but it’s a bad argument point. He never developed into a very good passer, that doesn’t mean he was a scrub.
He played like a rookie

Some good plays, some bad plays. From all reports, he seems to be a player that wants to get coached and get better. I think he will be in this league for some time. Will he be a tier 1 QB? No clue. But I feel he is in the right organization to let him develop and find his game. He wasn't drafted to be a Week 1 starter. And as it stands, he wouldn't be ready to start anyway. He was drafted where he should have been.
