[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1086871, member: 17987"] Thanks for this. This is essentially what I've been thinking but couldn't figure the best way to word it. I like Willis. He seems like a really cool guy, and he legitimately HAS improved a lot with us, I think. He will (and should) get starting opportunities elsewhere. But I simply can't look at his extremely limited reps with us and assume that can be extrapolated long-term/over the course of a season with the same level of success. I think Willis often benefits from A.) still very limited "tape" of him in our offense; B.) often entering into scenarios where defenses have predominantly schemed/gameplanned for Love; C.) a simplified offense/much more limited playbook and favorable "on-script" situations I mean, we have pointed out in this very thread how comparatively immobile Love is. Imagine if you're a DC and you've spent all week planning to face Love. Or you've got seasons worth of tape on Love to plan off of, while you've got like....3 games worth of tape on Willis in LaFleur's offense to go on. And at the end of the day those are just two radically different players to account for. If you are planning predominantly around Love but play Willis, he will probably run all over you. But on the flip side, I would suspect if you had a team primarily planning to face Willis and wanting to contain his mobile threat, if Love enters that game he probably slices them apart in the passing game. It works both ways IMO. Also lest we forget, Willis is only a year and change younger than Love. Love sat for three years, Willis was bad in Tennessee to start. But I would not look at the two and assume that Love has already peaked while Willis is still a young ascendant player with a much higher ceiling to reach. Willis certainly have more room to grow but I am not convinced we have seen Love's final product either [/QUOTE]
