Someone please tell me how to pick a franchise QB?

fwiw, cat scratch reader has a couple articles on this. one talks about the 26-27-60 rule (at least 26 wonderlic, 27 starts, and 60% completions). another has the bill parcell's rule...

  1. The quarterback must be a senior. . .because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback
  2. He must be a graduate. . .because you want somebody that takes their responsibilities seriously.
  3. He must be a three-year starter. . .because you want to make sure his success wasn't a fluke and to know that he has been "the guy" for a significant period of time.
  4. He must have 23 wins...because big numbers don't mean a whole lot if you don't win
guys in this draft that passed the 26-27-60 rule (of course minus the wonderlic) are Gabbert, Ponder, McElroy, Dalton.

the ones that passed the parcells rule are Kaepernick, Stanzi, and Dalton.

only one to pass both is dalton.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
