This is a measure of accuracy on completed passes, hence “pinpoint”. The number I am referring to is the overall Quarterback rating solely under duress per PFF.

If he stands so strong in the pocket, why does he have a 43.9 rating against pressure?

And quite honestly, can’t wait until we can have a civil conversation in regards to this interview without it devolving into a spiteful debate.

Yeah, I saw that one - just didn’t see one with the entire interview but it makes sense to just keep it all in one place.

I was not! Sorry about that, I tried looking and could not find it. Mods, feel free to close.

A great watch, highly recommended if you haven’t already.

If he was 6’1+ we probably wouldn’t have a shot at him

This also says that Young is the favorite ahead of Stroud.

Both are recruiting powerhouses, each have their own up/down years. This is one instance where OSU had better years than Bama.

I get where you’re coming from, I look at QBs differently from other prospects - it’s such a cerebral position. You grab the best overall football player that’s a proven commodity. The risk is chasing upside there. Both are good, but Bryce did more with less. Stroud is going to have 3 of his linemen drafted in the first 2/3 rounds. Had two of his receivers go first round last year, one will be a first rounder this year and one will be a top 5 pick next year. Bryce’s best receiver was his running back this year and a Bama linemen will be lucky to get drafted in the 4th round.

I mentioned this in another post but the NFL is mostly run in the shotgun formation now. Doug Pederson/Nick Sirianni (who run schemes similar to Reichs) play out of shotgun 75/80% of the time. Reich’s last full year in Indy, they utilized shotgun 76% of their plays.

Bryce Young very much is. For CJ Stroud to overtake Bryce Young, he would have had to play every game of the season like he did vs UGA. Before the UGA game, you saw Jared Goff ceiling comparisons for Stroud. (Some analysts stand by those even now)

As just a casual browser of this forum, your obsession with this topic is getting quite unhealthy.

So, let me get this straight….we are in agreement that we love the staff and it’s damn near perfect to bring up a rookie QB - except they’re absolutely wrong, horrific, doo-doo heads if they happen to pick what they perceive as the #1 QB that’s not to your couch GM liking.

In 2021 (Reich’s last full season), the Colts ran shotgun 76 percent of their snaps. The lowest they ran it during his tenure was 64% in a year. The game is changing to a more horizontally focused game by the year.

“Deep drop backs” lol 80% of the current game is played in shotgun/spread

*Person made a note that this was only in the unlikely case they trade down.

Pretty sure most QBs would get injured this way. Don’t care if you’re 3 inches taller or weight 20lbs more, you’re getting hurt. It’s the pocket awareness and line adjustments to avoid poo like this that matter more.

Think you have this backwards. CJ Stroud’s passing grade against pressure this year was 43.9. Bryce Young’s was 67.5. Bryce Young did much better against pressure against arguably better competition.

This isn’t up to the Saints or Loomis, it all depends on where Payton wants to go. He can just as easily retire again if he’s traded to a destination he doesn’t see as a good fit. At this point, it’s all lining up to Denver.

They have SF’s first round pick this year from the Chubb trade to Miami. It’s already been stated by Rap that Saints won’t even let teams interview Payton unless they agree to their trade demands.

Meh, it’s not concrete content but found it kinda interesting
