Drafting a QB is a total crap shoot according to a Hall of Fame QB.

The elephant in the room is that the coach is usually going to have the biggest impact on whether or not the QB pans out. Theres outliers for sure but it certainly seems to have a real correlation 

if Zach Wilson went to the 49ers instead of the Jets I think his career would be going differently

People were ready to write off Tua before McDaniel came in. Trevor Lawrence looked like ass with Urban Meyer and looks like the next great QB with Pederson

 

gotta say this is rich coming from Warner though - has any QB ever been as fortunate as him? Comes in to a team with Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce leaves and looks terrible in New York then ends up in Arizona with prime Fitzgerald and Boldin

Of course it is. But it's still by far your best bet of finding a franchise QB. They almost never hit free agency unless there are significant injury concerns. Trading for them is still a crap shoot, just ask the Denver Broncos. At least if you're drafting them you're not taking a salary cap beating.

Ya but 9/10 drafting they aren’t an NFL caliber QB. In fact I’m the top 10 we’ve had what? 3-4 successful QB’s since 2010? Enjoyable, a few more but actually successful and record worthy?

If that is the case then we definitely HAVE to have a coach who is a QB whisperer

I wasnt sure if he would be GREAT but I thought he would at least be a good quality QB one day. Unless something drastically changes it appears he wont even be "good".

Honestly I have no opinion one way or another. Except the entire huddle thought he’d be the next coming of (insert success QB). But the Jets are really where QB’s go to die.

Look at the top young QBs in the league. Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert... they're all high 1st rounders. What decently proven good young QB isn't?

Yeah, it's a crapshoot but it's your best bad bet.

Where was Jalen Hurts drafted? I never believed he would amount to much in the NFL and boy has he proven me wrong. Wish we had him every time I see him on TV

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
