My goodness, can this kid's talent be this far off or Titan's system is a complete misfit......
It's impossible to evaluate Willis based on last year. It's unlikely he can come in and game manage like Rush, but long-term he still has better upside.
There's only way to find out. The mistake would be to bring him in, because of his draft status, without competing.
Rush has earned his position on the roster, so I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to replace him unless someone beats him out for the job.
With no selections of a QB in any round of the draft, nor a UDFA signee afterwards, the Cowboys basically have declared the starting
quarterback for the future was not in the plans this year (despite what Jones said during Senior Bowl week).
Rush's performances over the last two seasons - no matter how tedious and unmarkable most of his games were - cemented his position to remain the backup QB. Except for that 5-month hiatus back in 2020 (when he was released when Dallas signed Andy Dalton, and was with the Giants' practice squad), Rush is tied with Jourdan Lewis for the sixth longest time in a Cowboys uniform. (Only Tyron, Martin, Lawrence, Prescott, and Anthony Brown have been there longer.)
He will turn 30 y.o. Thanksgiving week - five months after Dak does this summer.
Will Grier just turned 28 five weeks ago; it appears the FO is content with he being QB3.
Keeping the status quo signals the team is satisfied with their QB room for 2023.
Perhaps the prospects likely eligible for the next draft will be appeal to the Cowboys more.
