OK, it IS Willy ...

With respect to Willy keeping his helmet on: I brought this up yesterday and a friend said it's so he can hear the plays and follow along. Not sure if this is accurate but it makes sense to me.

At this point Charles Manson could be throw bombs for us I don't care who is doing it as long it results in W's.

I've lost all hope in Willys ability to make the quick decisions needed to be a productive starting QB in this league. His confidence has been shattered and I can't help but think that he is suffering some effects related to concussions. He just reminds me of Pierce near the end of his career. Dazed and confused. When he has the ball he just seems to either not be processing quick enough or he is second guessing way too often.

It didn't seem appropriate to "like" this post but I sure do agree with you. Poor Willy always had to play behind the putrid O-line. Poor guy never got to play behind the one Nichols is playing behind now. Nichols was getting all night to throw.

The however part for me it sure does feel good that we have Willy to come in if necessary. Depth, Depth, Depth. 

I dunno. Willy could be the new Brohm, at $410,000.

yeah I have to say that it isn't a coincidence that the offense started playing better once Mr. Bond came on the scene.  And that happened with the emergence of Mr. Loffler as our new star safety giving us the roster flexibility.  Would Willy be doing as well as Nichols if he had three Internationals starting from day one instead of Pat Neufeld at tackle?  That is an interesting question.

I think it's because we got Willy from Saskatchewan and Nichols from Edmonton, has to be something in that ...

No doubt the Oline improved once they started 3 Internationals.  Which coincided with Nichol's first start, lucky him.  But a lot of the sacks Willy has taken over the years are on him (taking too long to progress through his reads, getting happy feet, not recognizing the blitz, not throwing the ball away, etc) and not the Oline.  Nichols does a better job of getting rid of the ball and avoiding the pressure than Willy has over the past couple of seasons.  Even when he does get sacked, I have faith that Nichols is taking it to protect the ball and not because he messed up or didn't see it coming.  I don't have the same faith in Willy these days. But I hope Willy can figure it out when and if his chance comes again.

Who are safer drivers? Men or women?
