It seems like the people who rag on Willis the most are some of the biggest JP defenders.
It is humorous that some people feel compelled to trash Willis in an attempt to deflect blame from JP. It reminds me of what Mularkey tried to do.
I watched the show last night. Willis did say that he had a feeling that he was going to get hurt during the OSU/Terry Porter game. He said that the OSU players were going for his knees. (In fact, that is how he got hurt). Although Willis did not say this last night, some of you who have called him a "moron" probably do not know that he actually took out an insurance policy before the game that would have paid him somewhere between $2 and $5 million. Pretty smart if you ask me.
He said that he cried and did not think that he would be able to play again. He said that he comes from a Christian family and that they all prayed. He decided to have the surgery the next day rather than wait two weeks as most people do. He started rehab almost immediately after he woke up.
He is grateful that the Buffalo Bills gave him a chance. He likes Dick Jauron and thinks he is a nice man. He thinks that he is one of the top backs in the league, but not the best back. Stephen A. also thinks that he is one of the best backs in the league.
Willis did not go out the way to trash JP or anyone else. Stephen A. kept on pressing the point that the Bills need a QB. Most of the people in the world agree on this point. The QB play last year was nothing to brag about. In the end, all Willis said was "I know."
It is quite apparent that those of you who do not like Willis will continue to look for reasons to trash him. It is a wonder that Willis has been as productive as he has been given the poor offensive line play and the lack of QB production. How many times did other teams stack the line because of our lack of passing threat. How many times was first contact behind the line of scrimmage. If the offensive line and QB (JP, KH, CN, or someone else) play up to Willis' level, the offense should be pretty darn good.
