That doesn’t mean the ability is overrated.

I've heard a lot of professionals talk on the topic, and one of the most common lines is "How often do you really need to be able to throw a 60 yard pass?"

Heck, even Rhule said he wants quarterbacks to have "enough arm strength to make all the throws". That's not exactly looking for a rocket launcher.

I know some folks think the best option is to take a super athletic guy and try to coach him. The reality though is that fails as often as not. I'm always going to look at what a guy's got in his head first, because exercising a guy's body is a lot easier than trying to make them smarter.

Jets drafted Darnold....

Many Huddlers have annointed Darnold as the franchise QB and would pass on Fields for SeWell or Slater who is built like a G, but played T....

This is Huddle logic at it's finest. 

I can understand Sewell, maybe, but is Slater even an elite talent? Or are people so desperate they think drafting the #2 or 3 OT is worth passing on an elite player? To me, if Fields is there, we should take him. But I'd be surprised if he makes it out the top 4. Smith, Chase, Pitts, Parsons maybe even Horn are all elite talents and could be labeled BPA at our spot. 

I support the Darnold trade mainly because I dont think Fields will be there at 8, and the staff doesn't either. I can hard pass on Jones and Lance at 8 for any of those elite talents and continue to build the team and see what Darnold can do.

Appolgies, looks like it was a radio interview.

I'm on my phone so we'll see how it goes but here's a link to his radio interview and a screenshot of the tweet.

*Bonus* Now theres a tweet from 5 minutes ago that Zach Wilson is going to be a bust too.

How can anyone take this guy seriously? It's like he's into adversarial parody, or simply loves trolling.

I hear you. Darnold hasn't been good so far in his career and may just be damaged goods at this point. 

I understand the desire of some fans to place unequivocal faith in the teams staff to always make the right decision and hopefully they're right. But in no scenario would I pass on Fields if he is there at 8.

In the scout's defense, it's not like the former Jets coaches could have done anything with any QB they drafted. Had those guys coached Dan Marino right out of college, he'd have been out of the league within two years. Not sure they wouldn't have ruined either Manning.

 

You’re about to find out then aren’t you.

it's the easiest thing in the world to say X NFL prospect is going to bust, because chances are, most of them will.

it's also easy as hell to take an unfinished college product and say they are doomed to fail or never develop, because so few players actually do.

it's also easy AF to knock players and predict calamity for their careers when you are not accountable for developing players, and you weren't really accountable for their development during your career as a scout, either.

the harder thing to do is to look at a field of players, a certain percentage of whom are going to succeed in the NFL, and point out the ones who will. or the ones who you think will benefit most from the coaching you and/or your organization have to offer.

I think you can tell more about arm strength from a 20 yard out route than a 50 yard deep ball.
