Looking in on Jeff Fisher's game plans as the Rams coach is akin to reading the blackboards in porn movies... not written to really make sense and generally rife with spelling errors. In both cases it just distracts from the fact that the team is going to get f'ed again.

The whole concept behind this speculation seems pretty suspect...why use a color scheme to very generically grade a player's talent? What good does that actually do for game preparation? Saying "oh this player is average, this one is below average, this one is elite" does nothing at all for an actual professional team preparing to play a professional football game.

You could maybe make a case that this would be useful supplemental info along with a more proper scouting report, but it still seems like a very superficial and empty classification, reminiscent of some offseason clickbaity "NFL.com" article. Or to sort of expand upon someone else's analogy, it's like if you were playing Madden and you're scouting your opponent by only using "OVR" ratings rather than diving into a player or unit's strengths and weaknesses.

Furthermore, surely they could go beyond merely slightly changing the shade of purple to differentiate between a "below average" and an "elite" player...it seems like that kind of jump would warrant a more blatant distinction in coloring.

 

So I really don't buy this...it seems like a silly thing for a professional football team to actually spend any time creating. Rams or not...

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
