Very similar situations with what was around them and while neither had elite numbers (especially Allen) both have elite talent and physical traits.

This is an exhausted and incorrect take.

Josh Allen is 6'5

Malik Willis is barely 6'

They both don't have elite physical traits. Willis and Allen have completely different frames and upsides.

It’s not an incorrect take, the mobile QB has made size irrelevant. It’s more about how intelligent a player is. Size was always used to shame smaller QB’s by saying that they wouldn’t be able to see over the LOS. The way football is played now makes that irrelevant, it’s all about limiting hits.

Cam is a physical specimen and his body gave up on him. Russell Wilson is 5’11” and still playing at a high level.

With that in mind, their frames have literally nothing to do with it. They both have rocket arms, they both came from small schools, both are very mobile. The only difference is their bodies which I just pointed out above is irrelevant.

Nice try though.

spoilers: the same people who never want a QB will never want a QB

they live under the delusion of the perfect storm hitting us, just one year away, annually.

”let’s build an elite roster and get the 1st pick in the draft!”

It’s a fundamentally broken approach that, at best, will leave the team in Titans territory, good enough to pick 20 each season, but never good enough to compete for a Championship-and for some of them, this is okay, as long as the team is CHEWING CLOCK AND POUNDING ROCKS.

this time last year there was a desperate push to just wait one more year, it’s a strong QB class next year, just wait, get hog mollies, get a bellcow back, get a CEREBRAL linebacker, just wait, get Howell or Ridder or Rattler next year 

 

here we are. Same posters.

it’s not about the players.

But it isn't irrelevant. Russell Wilson is an exception. There are so many more examples to support the smaller framed QB will fail. Nice try though...

It took 2 seasons of planning and coaching to get Allen to where he is today. Do you see rhule having that much time and having the ability to develop him?

Almost every elite QB is an “exception” in some way or a rare talent that the stars will line up for like Cam/Luck. Tom Brady was a 6th round pick, Russ was a 3rd and too short, Allen was a raw prospect with bad college numbers, Mahomes was a system QB, Burrow was a one year wonder, Herbert was disappointing at Oregon, Jackson was too small to run like he did in college. IF you land an elite QB, it would more than likely be an exception. They all have risks.

Most QBs struggle their rookie year. It’s just part of the process. There are always exceptions, but even last year’s loaded class struggled as a whole. 2 years to get a QB to elite play should be expected…

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
