How good have coaches been developing players

The vast majority of kids coming out of college are not NFL ready where it comes to fundamentals and technique.

This is especially true with quarterbacks and skill position players.

Pro ready quarterbacks are getting harder and harder to find.

The vet was once a rookie who was taught by the coaches also.  

There is always  Master & Apprentice  apsect in just about everything in life.  

 

Did someone read a Fortune Cookie?

 

Or did Captain Obvious stop by?

Guys like Josh Norman and Greg Hardy are good examples of coaching developments.

 

Star was supposed to be this good.

I don't remember if it was at the combine 2 years ago, or the Pro Bowl. Gman, and Ron were saying that it is getting harder and harder to find kids that are close to being NFL ready out of college. And with the new CBA, they don't get a whole lot of time to work with them either. So it puts pressure on your draft to find those kids that are at least close to being ready.

 

If you have skills in college, coaches find ways to use them. Practice what you do well, and try and work on what you don't do well. So kids are coming out under developed.

 

 

 

 

 

This is what I originally wrote. I thought is was a tad long winded. So I  pared it down to the above.

People have been going gaga the last few years about all the young QBs coming out. Hellz, I find myself doing the same thing. But the truth is, very few start fast, and of those, few stay that way. We see the immediate flash, and say "Hey, maybe this kids got it", then he loses it.

 

It is just too dang hard to be a quality NFL QB. Cam is uber talented, and he is just now getting it, well, maybe last year was his first real QB year. Stafford has been around for 8 years, even though he has a poo ton of yards, and TDs, the last 16 games has seen him playing as well as anyone. Carr 4th year.

 

WR is the same way. A few kids lately have come in and played well. Or so it seems. Because all we see are the splash plays. We don't see how they block, or how much of the route tree can they use, how many WR spots can he play? As with QBs, it takes years to learn how to play against NFL level talented Defenses.

 

Sure the kids can play. Can they play consistant NFL football? That is the question. Can your coach absolutely trust you? For most kids the answer is not yet.

Player progression is a area where Ron really excels in.

Good examples there Goob. You are defiantly hoping that high of a pick will turn out to be a Stah.

He had the talent but he didnt have the teqhniques and pass rushing moves.  In college he was using bull rush to dominate OLs

Well, she did say something about bit(h slapping a snot nosed 12 year old at the Piggly Wiggly today. She said the mother had been wanting to do it for years, but was afraid of the consequences. People clapped, and cheered. The news came by. All in all the wife was treated like a hero. All because she slapped the snot outta you.

I asked her "trick or treat " she wanted "treat" so I gave her frosting for her Krispy Kreme  donuts.

 

of course I was wearing my Captain Obvious costume.
