there are metrics out there that are based on percentage of pressures that results in sacks, the number of pressures or how good or bad the O-line is therefore irrelevelent.

For example:

QB A is pressured 100 times takes 20 sacks.

QB B is only pressured 60 times but takes 15 sacks.

QBA at first glance gets sacked more but in reality QB does a worse job of avoiding being sacked.

 

Agreed, but if you are constantly getting pressured with little help it makes the QB try too hard to make a play.  That's what I was referring to with "hero ball."  It creates forced throws and QBs trying to run around and make something out of nothing which can lead to more sacks.  Howell showed some of this last year, because it was the only way his team really had a chance.  Run around trying to dodge defenders and throw to guys who aren't open. There is no doubt it has created some bad habits that can hopefully be coached out of him.  Leaving the pocket too early, forcing throws, and running around holding the ball too long resulting in sacks are all habits I'm sure he has developed. Even when they actually have blocking their internal alarms are going off from the previous instant pressures.

It means don't trust OSU with your QBs. 

I think it means college coaches don't know what they have on hand or players mature and develop as their careers go on. Remember even Cam couldn't sniff the field behind The Golden Calf of Bristol but that doesn't mean he was the better passer or qb.

Not QB, but I remember UT had Alvin Kamara on their bench behind Hurd (who tried to play TE later).

Well before that kamara had to transfer from Alabama. He signed with them and was behind T.J. Yeldon along with three future NFL stars in Derrick Henry, and Kenyan Drake.

Anyways, it was a hell of a pro day. All of our guys where pretty happy with what they saw, including  Rhule. 

Yes, the kid is a project, as are most QBs. 

A lot of comparisons to Steve McNair. 

That would be pretty bad ass. 

 

That being said,  I'm with Scot, on we need a LT.

It's going to be interesting. Sounds like we are going to have to fight the Steelers for him or hope they don't jump us. The options at 6 get more and more interesting. Pickett and Willis I think have solidifies themselves as top 10-12 picks at minimum.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
