Gabbert question

[TheRealDeal]

TRD posts a lot with lots of opinions which are rarely backed up with any facts or stats. Anything he says should be interpreted as his opinion only. What he say neither amazes nor surprises me.

[Urrymonster]

He absolutely DOES NOT come from a one read offense.

Gabbert's strength is making reads at the LOS to take what the defense give him.

The issues I have heard was being able to handle pocket pressure and how that impacted his decision making.

Most people don't realise that reads includes pre-snap adjustments and analysis, they assume it's receiver progressions

Pre snap basically is an attempt to determine the sequence of who is more likely to be open. If the CB shows man press coverage with no safety help (S showing blitz), the WR has an advantage if it is a 1 on 1 situation and he is on the fade, for example. But the CB blitzes and the LB and S cover the first option making the presnap read a bad one, he has to know that the fade is not there, but something must be. The TE up the seam will have a LB and possibly no S help--so he becomes the second read. He is covered, however, by the other safety, and with a trailing LB. Now he knows that 2 LBs, 2 Safeties, and a blitzing CB means that his slot WR, running a bang 8, has man coverage. He is the third read and the right one. Not open? Run, throw to the outlet back, or toss it out of bounds. (Elapsed time: 3 seconds)

This doesn't even get into the chemistry between WR and QB, when the WRs change or break off routes by reading coverages. The QB has to assume the WR sees the same thing he sees and reacts accordingly. In the NFL, presnap just gives you a starting point. Not reading after the snap gives you a clipboard.

It also misses a major issue which is audiblizing at the line of scrimmage out of one play into another based on the defensive formation. Or changing the direction of the play on a running play to get out of pressure by flip flopping it. As you note then there is the whole idea of knowing where the coverage will be or what the hot reads are on a blitz to avoid trouble.

Defenses in the NFL are constantly moving and reacting so the quarterback has to do the same thing.

Is that your new sig. I knew you are one just didn't know you were ready to admit it. Good for you. Admitting a problem is half the solution to solving it.:D

[Mr. Scot]

I have no great knock on him, but I also don't look at him and think "#1 overall pick" either.

Don't know that I'd even take him in the first round, to tell the truth. Just don't think he's that good.

Careful p55 he's 5'10" and anywhere between 155-180lbs of pure ******

Is no one else offended by the use of the conjunction white n*gger?

white people can only be offended for minorities and things, they can't be offended themselves, sorry.

I just find the acceptability of the word strange considering it's origins.

I'm not sure I would qualify under the loose definition of the word though.

Don't tell RB though, he only knows the insults ****** and rube and we don't want him to stop posting now do we?

[Mr. Scot]

I'm still waiting to be accused of "hating" Gabbert since I don't want us to draft him :lol:

I also have yet to be called a Gabbert or Mallett hater :rolleyes:

6'1", 230lb and too old to fight. I just shoot people these days instead of fight like younger. It is much easily and more likely to work.:D

Most times I just consider the source and ignore it. No need bringing myself down to the gutter with drunks and fools. Don't know which category you are in, from what I read likely both.
