From the episode

Malik Willis looked. Well, okay. This is the number one thing I don't care about in the preseason. Is the Malik, is, is Malik Willis looking good on a sample of like nine plays on a scripted drive against preseason players?...My question remains, can this guy actually do this in a real dropback situation over the course of a full game?

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Willis efficient in scripted sample but real-game ability remains unproven.

Willis looked efficient on a limited scripted sample of nine plays against preseason defense, but the source emphasizes this is not meaningful for evaluating his actual NFL performance. The source notes Willis is 30% more efficient by EPA per dropback than Lamar Jackson in limited samples, but questions whether he can sustain this over a full game with real dropback situations. The source was more impressed with subtle mechanics—back-foot plant, looking off safeties, getting to first read without staring—rather than efficiency, noting these are things he wasn't regarded as doing well in college and questioning whether he can process without LeFleur.
