By far a more dynamic runner than Joey Gatewood?



IMO, yes. Gatewood is a bigger guy with good movement and can lay some guys out. He's more of a Cam style guy. Still, dynamic, yes.

But I'd say that Nick Marshall was more dynamic than Cam. Malik is more of a Marshall or Lamar Jackson type of QB than Cam.

If you watched MW offensive snaps from A-day till the end of the season, you can see how dangerous he is with the ball in his hands.

Malik Willis will be just as dynamic as Nick Marshall, if not more because he is a better passer than Nick was.

Marcello is alright... it’s his partner in crime Mike Nizolik who is a constant baby back bitch about everything... he’s always negative.

I want to see Willis drop back and pass, not these RPOs.

Wait... you think Willis is more “physically gifted” than Gatewood or Nix????

Remember the UGA game with his late pass to McClain, on a running play? Reminiscent of Marshall to Coates? Like Marshall, Willis has the unique ability to think really quick and make a decision, and the athletic ability to adjust quickly. These things can't be coached. Some players naturally have that type of talent and others don't. Willis is just waiting his turn to become Marshall 2.0..

Better than Gatewood? yes. He is a better athlete than Nix, maybe not a better QB.

Huh? Based on what?

I think we all need to step back on the Malik Willis hype.

Dude has barely played at all. Definitely hasn’t seen any passing time against a real defense.

You didn't like our offense in 2013? That running offense, with our updated passing schemes incorporated into it, will be hard to stop with Willis at the wheel. It will feel good to stay ahead of the chains again..

Slow the frick down. Marshall was bigger and faster than Willis. I know most of us remember all the bombs that were overthrown by him, but that was really the only pass he struggled with a ton. He wasn't Tom Brady by any means but he also wasn't some triple option QB.

What he's saying is he wants to see Willis throw to someone who is not wide open by 20 yards because the corner played left them to play the run.

He just is. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. Just wait and see. Marshall was a great QB but don't act like he was a great passer or he would be an NFL QB. I don't want to critique Marshall's flaws because it is undeserving but Willis is a better passer.

Yeah, and Justin Fuente was recruiting Willis as a DB to Virginia Tech. Your point?

He's had 7 passing attempts. I think the verdict is still out on his ability to make quick decisions and ability to adjust.
