Folks who get fooled by Pro Days tend to fall for the Zach Wilson’s of the world. 


People were enamored with Zach because they were so focused on finding the next Mahomes and he did Mahomes like throws.

It was a stupid way to evaluate someone but that’s the jets after all.

For the ones taking these pro days so seriously. Do you realize there’s no pass rush coming at them during pro days. No reading coverages?  Hell, Johnny Manziel and Zach Wilson lit up their pro days. Any average college QB with a good arm can look good at a pro day. Who cares. It doesn’t matter.

I think the size concerns are overblown. Stroud is the better pure passer with a stronger arm, but Young does everything else the position requires(calling out protections, reads, scrambling, etc) today better. I prefer Young because he plays the game a little better and never seemed to get rattled by pressure.


Im leaning that way too. I don’t know if he’ll get killed out there (Frank can determine that), but what’s between the ears is more important that what’s below them.

Mahomes' playstyle  is not what you want your rookie QB doing.  Cross body, cross field throws while backpedaling is normally bad news.  He just has a crazy strong arm and can make it work where others have failed.  I don't think Young does as much of that stuff though, it's more evading pressure and extending plays to make the read.

 Absolutely no one takes them seriously.

They are just good opportunities to reflect on each player.

Thanks for the insight Mr. Flag Football Coach.  
 

Btw I agree - like some of the beat reporters have noted, the personal interactions at the dinners and casual convos likely offer much more insight than the actual passing drills do

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
