[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1040175, member: 10086"] Malik will need adjustment time. However id rather him than Pratt. Malik was jumpy in his first 2022 season, but seems to be settling down some. He finished the 2024 preseason 20/27 201 yards 2TD’s 1 INT. The part that’s under the radar is his Run ability. He’s dangerous once out of the pocket. Maybe not Michael Vick or Lamar Jackson, but he’s 100% the top of the next tier behind Elite. Call him Near-Elite. Just this Preseason he rushed for 11-99 yards (9.0 per carry) In his college career he tied Lamar Jackson for forcing the most missed tackles since the 2015 season. Malik put up ~300 yards in PS when the ball is in his hands. So while it was Preseason, accuracy is accuracy. Now we could argue the Defense wasn’t as good, which is true. Yet he still has to land his throws to get over 70% completions on a full game worth of sample. So he’s obviously getting comfortable. Even 3 Camps and Preseasons is a substantial help. If he was a Rook I’d be sweaty palms Let Malik sink or swim, but let’s put him in the best available packages to protect him and adapt to his strengths. He has a cannon arm so I wouldn’t be afraid to give him latitude to test it and let him lead Watson on a bomb. His first start in GB will likely be nothing more than adaptation and getting film on him. Similar to Loves KC or Detroit starts, he’ll make some mistakes. Even then it’s about shaking the nerves and becoming a Starter. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he impresses inside 2-3 weeks. We need only steal 1 maybe 2 games to stay alive. We don’t need to win the world over. We need to play field position and our D and ST and Run blocking need to step up. [/QUOTE]
