  • I get what you’re saying. I think.

    Dude only played one and a half years of varsity football and was bound for a D3 school but decided to walk on at Purdue so he would see top level ncaa coaching to have a better shot at becoming a coach after college.

    Instead he fucking gives it his all and makes it to starter, has a great run at an underwhelming program, gets drafted, and becomes an NFL starter, even if only for a couple months.

    It’s a fuckin legendary story compared to most dudes in the league.

    Downvote all you want, but if you look at what Carolina gave up for that kid, I will 10000% take AOC+(two seconds, a fourth* and a star WR) over Bryce Young.

    (*I am using the interpretation that, for example’s sake, a second next year is equivalent in draft capital to a third this year.)

    He’s been working with Jeff Christensen as his QB coach since high school, so that’s why accuracy has been the key priority in his training. May make sense to spend some time working this off-season with a mobility-focused coach. Unless there’s some magic key to unlocking it, he’s never going to be the mobile QB this sub is clamoring for, but if he can get a few more plays a game where his feet give his eyes and arm more time, maybe he’s good enough to hang on over a rookie.

    They want a mobile QB and think that’s a sure fire thing you get with an early first round draft pick, like Johnny Manziel, Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson, Marcus Mariota, Robert Griffin III, etc

    Sure, every once in a while you find a bust later in the first round like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes, but mostly it’s guaranteed winners when you’re picking a QB in the Top 5.
