Gotta think he is good for an extra win this year and AT LEAST an extra win last year!

Welll....Looking at those box scores and games kind of silly games being played down there.
I'm not saying he probably wouldn't be of use... but those statistics are way skewed.
All I have to say about Willies is way to go. You blew an opportunity to be a part of a B10 team that's going to compete very well in their division. I imagine he's looking back with regret right about now. Even if he joins Texas Tech and has a decent D1 career they aren't going to do anything in the B12.
It's especially funny when you look at how much Kirk has changed. The offense is lining up with CJ in shotgun and 5 WR's with no TE's at times. They aren't showing any hesitation in letting CJ make plays. Young man made a really bad decision.
To be fair to Willies, NOBODY saw that coming.
Wish we still had him but I really don't judge Kirk or the staff on personnel issues or things of this nature because I have no insight into the program. I have no idea who is a good teammate, who works hard at practice, who is a leader.
As fans there are so many intangibles or things we don't see/understand. For example, sure it's easy to say CJB would have won more games last year than Jake but for some reason Kirk didn't pull the trigger last year. Call my crazy, but I can't see any reason why Kirk doesn't want to win or would intentionally play guys that he feels don't give him the best chance.
So anyways, I know it's fun to speculate but I guess the above is just my personal theory.

Nobody doubts that Kirk THINKS he always plays the guys that give him the best chance. However many believe he's sometimes wrong in his judgment. (last year's QB being exhibit 1A) He also THINKS playing "not to lose" is the best approach. Once again, this year has shown that it's a game for play makers...not play avoiders. And though it's a bit late, he deserves credit for apparently seeing the light and making changes.
While it's true that Willies bailed in midseason, which is bad form... one has to wonder
1.) would he have stayed if things were done more last year, like they are this year. and
2.) was his departure among the contributing factors to Kirk's big change (I say it was, perhaps indirectly...Willies leaving mirrors pretty closely how many fans were reacting to the program's direction)
That said, he's gone. Fine. I hope we get to see one of our other promising young WRs (J Smith or Ogow) play Saturday. We've got some talent.
