The QB mirage of 2020

That definitely hasn't been true this year. May have more to do with rule changes and the way they're calling games (less offensive holding penalties) but offense has been way ahead of defense in the NFL this year.

Offensive holding has become like traveling in the NBA. It has to be comically blatant to get called and even then it's still a 50/50 shot.

off topic but everything I saw/read on the peripheral everyone pretty much laughed at the Hornets pick and said it was just an obvious attempt at trying to sell tickets.   Ball is street ball garbage

no, this is the best one of the brothers.  he's a player for sure.  there were no slam dunk consensus agreed upon franchise changers in last nights draft.  not saying there won't be, but all the players had ? marks.   lamelo can genuinely ball

What was wrong for the NBA evaluation? I don’t know much about non-US basketball but for the college players, they played an entire regular season with no changes. Only the “playoff” part was impacted. In college football, we have teams basically playing in conference only outside of maybe 3 “playoff” games. Teams like Wisconsin and PAC-12 have barely played so what happens if they get shut down. How about guys like Chase and Parsons who didn’t play at all? How do you evaluate Trey Lance’s last year. The NBA’s draft was later than usual but the prospects’ last seasons were pretty much intact to review. Maybe the visits were impacted but football is going to have a much harder time evaluating. NBA scouts got to see 90% of the college season in person and talk to coaches and players. Are pro scouts for the NFL even going to college games right now?

there was nothing wrong.  missing the ncaa tournament was huge for evaluation, and the teams were only allowed to bring in 10 prospects for in person workouts and interviews.   also, those are great points about evaluation of the college football players.  i really hadn't considered that this morning when i posted

Who the fug cares about completion percentage. It’s one of the most misleading and pointless stats out there. Watching the videos that are available on YouTube, he makes the right throws, he throws a good ball, and he reads the field. That’s what I want to see out of my QB. I’d take Wilson in a heartbeat at this point.

I saw a comment yesterday that I found interesting. How much stock do you put in the performances of college QBs this year? A year in which Covid has diminished greatly the ability of teams to prepare and train their defenses.

 

Take Zach Wilson for example. Look at his completion percentage...

So he regressed in 2019 but all of a sudden in 2020 be takes a 13 point jump in completion percentage? How much does the Covid cloud have to do with that?

That is going to be really tough to say. You also lost a lot of cupcake games, so teams are actually playing much tougher schedules in some cases.

I don't think I would discount an entire season based on that. At best, 4-5 games. If a player has a monster year, I don't think that should be discounted because of COVID.

Completion percentage is actually something that is pretty important for a QB. That is one of the few stats that is a pretty decent predictor of NFL success. 

IE, if you aren't an accurate passer in college, it is highly unlikely that will improve in the NFL. Many examples of this among first round QB busts.

I haven't watched Wilson play, but is he more like Burrow or Mahomes? Watching Burrow try to throw to the outside hash this past weekend was painful, dude just couldn't get it there. I feel good about a rookie learning under Brady for next year, so hope we draft someone who actually has all the physical tools.

Super Bowl winning QB career completion percentage:

Drew Brees: 67.8

Kurt Warner: 65.5

Russell Wilson: 64.9

Aaron Rodgers: 64.7

Big Ben: 64.4

Tom Brady: 63.9

Joe Montana: 63.2

Tray Aikmen: 61.5

Completion is a pointless stat. Most franchise QBs have a completion percentage in the mid 60s. I think Zach Wilson will be okay

Yeah, I am pretty sure you just didn't understand anything I said.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
