ProFootballTalk-“Matt Rhule: “very urgent” to have a QB who makes plays in crucial situations”

So, let me get this straight.

The OP quotes our coach who was speaking about getting a QB who can make clutch plays in critical situations . . . then goes "This is why we need Mac Jones."  Seriously?

The one QB in college football who NEVER had to make a clutch play?  Who never played from behind.  Who was never in a one score game in the fourth quarter?  The guy who only started in 2019 because Tua got broken?  That guy?

Ooooook.  Thank goodness we have a GM.

Jones is like every other ALA QB, product of the environment. And for those acting like mobile / athletic QBs can't deliver the ball that is just an ignorant perspective. 

Lance, Fields, can deliver from the pocket, the athleticism and mobility is just a +

I don't want a 1-dimensional QB, outside of Brady / Brees / Rodgers, the most successful teams have a guy that can move and extend plays at a high level + turn the corner on a defense. (Mahomes, Jackson, WIlson, Tannehill, many forget he was WR)

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
