He absolutely DOES NOT come from a one read offense.

Gabbert's strength is making reads at the LOS to take what the defense give him.

The issues I have heard was being able to handle pocket pressure and how that impacted his decision making.

Most people don't realise that reads includes pre-snap adjustments and analysis, they assume it's receiver progressions

Pre snap basically is an attempt to determine the sequence of who is more likely to be open. If the CB shows man press coverage with no safety help (S showing blitz), the WR has an advantage if it is a 1 on 1 situation and he is on the fade, for example. But the CB blitzes and the LB and S cover the first option making the presnap read a bad one, he has to know that the fade is not there, but something must be. The TE up the seam will have a LB and possibly no S help--so he becomes the second read. He is covered, however, by the other safety, and with a trailing LB. Now he knows that 2 LBs, 2 Safeties, and a blitzing CB means that his slot WR, running a bang 8, has man coverage. He is the third read and the right one. Not open? Run, throw to the outlet back, or toss it out of bounds. (Elapsed time: 3 seconds)

This doesn't even get into the chemistry between WR and QB, when the WRs change or break off routes by reading coverages. The QB has to assume the WR sees the same thing he sees and reacts accordingly. In the NFL, presnap just gives you a starting point. Not reading after the snap gives you a clipboard.

It also misses a major issue which is audiblizing at the line of scrimmage out of one play into another based on the defensive formation. Or changing the direction of the play on a running play to get out of pressure by flip flopping it. As you note then there is the whole idea of knowing where the coverage will be or what the hot reads are on a blitz to avoid trouble.

Defenses in the NFL are constantly moving and reacting so the quarterback has to do the same thing.

white people can only be offended for minorities and things, they can't be offended themselves, sorry.

I just find the acceptability of the word strange considering it's origins.

I'm not sure I would qualify under the loose definition of the word though.

Don't tell RB though, he only knows the insults ****** and rube and we don't want him to stop posting now do we?

Careful p55 he's 5'10" and anywhere between 155-180lbs of pure ******

6'1", 230lb and too old to fight. I just shoot people these days instead of fight like younger. It is much easily and more likely to work.:D

Most times I just consider the source and ignore it. No need bringing myself down to the gutter with drunks and fools. Don't know which category you are in, from what I read likely both.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It should be a facto, because while he needs to perform to keep his job, you still have to build with an eye to the future. Where we will be drafting, there is a more than good chance of there being a player there at a position of more need, such as OT, LB, TE, S, or CB. With all those holes, I just don’t like the idea of taking a player who will ensure one of him, T-Mac, or Coker won’t be here 4 years from now, and we all know it won’t be T-Mac who gets jettisoned. So either believe in Coker or don’t, keep him and draft another position or draft a WR and trade him, don’t straddle the middle and hamstring us by leaving more holes while leaving us a huge problem a couple years from now.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.

      It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?
