The QB School : Breaking down AR and Levis

I've been driving the year to AR, no to Levis train for awhile now.

If we pick Levis I'll just hope I'm wrong and root like hell for him.

 

I also hope we don't pick Levis BUT if we do I'll just remember how stupid I thought the Bills were for picking Josh Allen. Or the Ravens for Lamar. NFL QBs are such a crap shoot

The irony is that both of them are a bit similar in that they are high ceiling guys in regard to physical tools.  You have to ask why the production didn't always line up with the tools though.  In AR's case his accuracy is really bad, but with age and lack of playing time of the position there is some hope there for improvement.  With Levis you have to ask why he struggled at times?  Can you blame it on the team around him, is it stuff he can still improve at this age?

If all things were equal I would probably take AR at 9.  If you going to gamble lets swing for the fences.  Personally, I don't think both will be there at 9, I think if we stay put the board will dictate who we draft.  

I think the real question for the FO will be do you trade the farm to move up to 1-2 to make sure you get your guy or stay put and be ok with whoever is left of the 4.  I'm leaning towards maybe staying put.

I’ve really warmed up to the idea of ARich at 9.  Especially considering our staff and what it’s projecting to look like. I feel comfortable with a guy with elite tools like Richardson being coached by these guys.

Taking a guy with a 54% career pass completion percentage is... bold.

That said I'd prefer that at #9 than trading multiple first round picks to move up for Stroud / Young.

Probably same feel of thinking as Buffalo had with their QB who has a 56% career pass completion at Wyoming.

They see the tools and traits along with something on film that pops that they like and think they could mold

So you’re good with just throwing a top 10 pick away?

AR working out in the pros is a long shot. 95% confident he busts. Poor accuracy and not enough time at the position.

No way Frank AND Fitts hitch their wagon to that.

The Bust potential is just as high (possibly higher) for CJ Stroud. Ohio State has never has a QB from their school even make a Pro Bowl in almost 70 years. Yet, a lot of people are so enamored with him that they believe we should give away multiple high draft picks in multiple years to move up to the #1 or #2 spot in the draft.

And that’s why you never scout the Helmet and scout the player.

Texas Tech and LSU had a Amazing history with NFL QBs before the 2 guys in the NFL now did they?

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
