QB Guru on Clausen, Luck, others...

Just listened to George Whitfield, the QB guru, on FoxSports 730. George Whitfield is the guy who worked with Big Ben during his suspension, and has worked with other QB's coming out of college in the past. He spoke about Clausen, and some of the QB prospects in college, and I took some quick notes:

On Clausen:

-Came from a sophisticated college offense, was used to taking snaps from under center

-is shorter in stature than listed, is actually 6'1", has smallest hands of any NFL QB, does not have physical power, to include throwing power

-is a good QB coming out, but not elite (Bradford was considered elite)

-struggles mechanically, has shown improvement over the season, will never have great arm quality

-lets his arm dip down during throwing motion, causing many of the batted balls at the line (cannot get away with this in pro football)

On Luck:

-is a "can't miss guy"

-can make all the throws

-was under great teaching and methodology at college level

-throws with touch

-is 6'4", 235-240 lbs.

-big, strong and athletic

-plays with precision

-better decision maker than the rest of the pack, has been coached to make full reads and progressions

-has been tasked with a true pro-style system (what puts him above Newton, Mallet, Locker)

Also said that Luck, Newton, Mallet, and Locker all have the tools to play at a high NFL level, but Luck has shown that he can do the pro style system, but is not necessarily more or less physically able than the other 3.

That's all I got.

Don't know for sure if they will put up a podcast later, but here's linky

    • Film Room Playlist _ NFL Pro — Mozilla Firefox 2024-11-25 10-20-11.mp4 🎯🎯🎯 There were a couple of "fans" yesterday saying that this wasn't a helmet-to-helmet shot... 👀 Looks like based on where Moore was and where the play ended, he'd have gotten maybe just a yard or two more. Chuba was downed at the KC 16 and Moore was on his way back to the QB, so the offense got what they could for the most part. After reviewing the all-22, Bryce made the right call here. Tremble was the hot and KC sent both LBs. He gets it out with a clear pocket but it's quickly collapsing. If there was a little more time it looked like AT came free at the end but whether or not Bryce would've been upright still is another story. Smart move to get the completion and keep the field goal in play to stay alive. George Karlaftis is about to get himself a big ole hug and Bryce heaves it to where David Moore is going. Trent McDuffie slipped just a step or two before this shot, but we can see the clear DPI here as he's wrapped around David Moore before knocking him over as the ball gets there.
    • I’m taking a TE early day 3 Ian Thomas and Tremble are FA.  We should have no desire to bring them back.   There’s more than enough film of ball bouncing off their hands or facemask.
    • Daniel Jones sometimes would sling it for 300 or 400 yards.  That's my stance.  We know what Bryce is.  If you consistently play any QB at this level, they largely are going to end up w/ some good days/games.  last time Mahomes was at BOA, Teddy Bridgwater threw for 300+ yards and a couple TDs and the Matt Rhule Panthers almost took him down.  We know what Bryce is.  Now we got people predictably falling into a predictable trap.
