Chud's Bible (Playbook)

[magnus]

this is silly, because the essence of Coryell is that it's more adaptable - formations, routes, adjustments, shifts, motions, protections - than any. It's true that a playbook can be huge, and that the Coryell guys can often go into a game with 200 plays on their sushi menu/playsheet, but a basic knowledge of the offense keeps you from having to memorize 200/900 plays.

[CAVSS]

Is this where the Wonderlic might have a bigger impact?

I doubt it honestly. I think the wonderlic speaks more to a persons ability to think quickly. It is important IMO but in a different way. Learning a playbook is a different form of intelligence.

For example; I am very good with IQ tests but I struggle with memorizing foreign languages. I know other people who are exactly the opposite.

Memorization for me is more about grueling repetition and practice.

[Wither]

Its probably just variations and sets of very similar plays.

Its probably 50 or 60, at most 100 plays, ran out of different formations and different motions. And each page probably represents these plays. Also, it is probably different plays playing to different QB's strengths. IE. If we drafted Newton, as opposed to a Mallet type.

And it take ANY QB several year to fully grasp ANY playbook.

I wouldn't look too much into it.

That is way too logical. What are you doing messing up this thread? We are discussing how smart Chud is for having 900 separate plays in a book this:

...big.

[bleys]

As said before 900 is not all that uncommon. I dont think him or any OC would expect a QB to grasp the whole playbook in 3 months. Not even Manning could do that. Why do you think people say it takes 3 years for most OCs to install there system with a team.

exactly.. people who think the exceptions make the rule that a QB should start his 1st year are crazy.

makes no sense...

[scpanther22]

it goes into a little more detail.

*As it is looking more and more likely that Cam Newton will be a Carolina Panther, we should consider that there likely would be better landing spots for Cam. New Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski’s playbook is believed to be somewhere in the vicinity of 900 pages, which makes it one of the most voluminous in the league. Virtually every play has a shift and/or motion. It’s a difficult offense for an experienced quarterback. Newton is inexperienced even among incoming rookies, and he the offense he was exposed to at Auburn is nothing like this one. If Cam goes to the Panthers, Chud might have to do some serious dumbing down of the offense in 2010.

Haha my b.

Careful that girl looks young enough to be on Grits' avatar.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Those saying that 900 page playbooks are common, the largest I have found that has been documented is 800 pages.

[Snake]

IMO if Cams the pick its cause he comprehended Chuds playbook the best out of the Three QBs. IMHO I think Newton is allot smarter than most give him credit for.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

There was the earlier report that Chud gave his playbook to each QB they were looking at. So there is that possibility that Newton has committed to already learning the playbook and is making progress as many think he will be the number one pick.

[Marguide]

Derek Anderson ran it with success in Cleveland one year, and he had a Wonderlic of 19.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

So are you proving that DA sucks?

It happens, WCO have done it and its common in the Coryell system. TBH its more the Mike Martz approach than the Norv Turner one.

As close guarded as playbooks are I doubt this rumor is true.

[Marguide]

So are you proving that DA sucks?

DA does in fact suck. But he was good for 1 year running Chud's playbook.

The comment was directed at the suggestion that a QB without a high Wonderlic would have difficulty running the system.

Ah, I see. I don't think you have to have an impressive Wonderlic score but more the desire and will to learn. (Of course, you do need some knowledge.)
