My feeling…never draft a QB who fails in big games and whose floor is close to his ceiling   The bigger the game, the more he shrinks   What’s the saying “when people show you who they are believe them…the first time’

IMHO this guy screams Blaine Gabbert to me. 
 

Good stat here for collapsing under pressure

I think a lot of folks haven't watched much of UF games. If you had you'd notice all the balls bouncing off receivers' hands.

It was hike the ball and AR buys as much time as he can while they try to get open and then they either drop it or run the wrong route.  They went pretty run heavy later because their WRs (who weren't great to begin with) were injured.  Their offense excelled when AR could run and make defenses account for his running, bringing them off the WRs.  They didn't let him run that much thought because he was banged up and according to @Varking they didn't have much behind AR...

Just check out the Utah game when the team was healthy and AR was able to play his style of offense.  He was uncontainable....

Like Sam Howell his first two seasons at UNC. Coaches specifically told him NOT to run because they didn't have a backup QB on the roster they trusted to put in the game. His third year, they had Maye and lost all their weapons so he basically had to start playing like The Golden Calf of Bristol in order to move the ball.

Interesting that Stroud is pretty close to Young and people are questioning Stroud under pressure and thinking Young excels under it....

I think Stroud generally just got the ball out fast under pressure, Bryce scrambled a little more. Could be wrong but that's generally how it looked from casually catching a quarter or two of the games while at work

Did you read the quote I was replying to?  He described Fields as an elite runner who struggles with health and throwing the ball.  That is exactly who Richardson looks like at the moment....only he is even worse at the college level than Fields, so will be worse in the pros

It’s not even an accurate statement but college productivity also doesn’t mean much when it comes to the pros. Look at college duds like Josh Allen.

I guess I am a moron but could you explain this to me please.  I can look at this data and take it both good and bad

I think it's essentially a measure of a QB's ability to avoid taking sacks.  QBs that are high on the X axis had a high percentage of pressures leading to sacks in college (i.e. struggling to evade the pass rush).  QBs that are high on the Y axis had a high percentage of pressures leading to sacks in the NFL.  Based on this chart and Levis' 26.8% pressure-to-sack rate, he'd essentially be off the charts in a bad way.  It's also suggesting a pretty linear correlation from college to the pros, so if you struggled with taking sacks when pressured in college, then chances are you're going to struggle with it in the NFL.

It has nothing to do with each QB's o-line because the pre-condition for each data point is that the QB is already being pressured.  So once the pressure has already taken place, which QBs take sacks at a higher rate vs. able to elude the sack.

Beware drafting men who play amongst boys. Levis is as old as most second year NFL players.

Is the insinuation that 23-year-old college athletes are considerably physically superior to 20-22 year old college athletes?  I'd say Anthony Richardson, physically speaking, looks way more like a man amongst boys and he's only 21.

With QBs it's a lot more about the mental maturation than the physical maturity. Yeah, there's a BIG deference between a 23 year old mind and a 20 year old mind. Levis is just a couple of months younger than Justin Fields who just finished his second NFL season. He's only a year younger than Brian Burns who just finished up his 4th NFL season.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
