That should never happen.
STACKED’s take
Willis's 29-of-50, 417 yards, 1 TD/1 INT, 9 sacks reflect play-calling, pocket patience, and inexperience.
Through two games, Willis has completed 29 of 50 passes for 417 yards, one touchdown and one interception while being sacked nine times. The Phinsider attributes his struggles to multiple factors: in Week 1, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik moved away from De'Von Achane and forced Willis to throw Miami back into the game, which should never happen; Willis appears to be trying to prove he can be a pocket passer by waiting for receivers to get open rather than escaping pressure; he has made poor decisions running out of bounds looking for receivers instead of throwing away; and he is still inexperienced with only eight career starts in his fifth season. The Phinsider believes Willis will be fine as he grows into his role but questions whether he is the franchise quarterback Miami needs, noting coaches hope he is so they can use their first-round pick on an edge rusher.
