No, I'm saying that once they have some film on Willis, the better defenses in the league would soon find all the ways they need to exploit his weaknesses, and once that happens, I think the team would struggle to score enough points to win games consistently.

And no, it's not a one-man game... and yes, they are certainly better positioned to win with a "less than top 1%" QB than they were five years ago, when you really could argue that w/o Rodgers, they were a top-5 draft pick type team (heck, we saw it happen a couple of years...).

But the question was about 'make the playoffs'. In my view, that means, winning about 10 games. If Jordan Love suffered a season-ending ACL at Family Night next year, I think that opposing defenses would be able to seriously load the box and handcuff Jacobs enough to hold down the GB scoring offense, and Willis wouldn't be able to do enough to stop that from happening. A team can only do so much to hide a sub-par QB, and the longer it goes, the more that sub-par QB gets exposed. You can get away with it for a couple of games (which we saw last year), but over a whole season? Nope. Nuh-uh.

The real question in my view would be: has the defense improved enough since 2024 to win a lot of 10-7 or 14-10 type games. If they have - if they've suddenly become the 2000 Ravens - then it's a different story. So ok - maybe not 'zero' chance. But until I see a pretty big improvement on the defense, I won't be willing to say they could consistently win games without a better QB than Malik Willis has shown himself to be. If they have to rely on a Malik Willis led offense to put up 30+ per game in order to win, then I stand by my 'zero chance' opinion...
