Yeah does anyone thing that Brady or Manning is some kind of freak combination of size, strength and speed? Of course not. They are good QBs because they have the brains to know WTF is happening on the field and the best way to take advantage of it, and they have enough athletic ability to make it happen. Somehow the NFL is degrading into a league where the QB takes one look downfield then starts running around like its street lot football until somebody gets open. Heck, I think the Seahawks had two plays...handoff to Lynch and the Wilson scramble-fest. Well it got 'em to the Super Bowl so who am I to judge.

Wilson can scramble but can also technically make plays from the pocket. He’s a true dual threat QB. The athletic guys who can make crazy plays with their legs and produce highlights will win games, but they have yet to win a SB.

The nfl has been reaching on qb's for decades. It's not just today's era.

Aaron Rogers is a QB who has the brains and scrambling ability. He's also weird.

True, but the NFL was primarily a running league until the late 90's - now it's a passing league. In the 1980's and early 90's, the league leader in TD passes would have 25 - that's a laughable number now.

I'm just saying it's impossible to say X won't make it in the NFL or Y will. Nobody has a clue. Some guys have all the tools and bust, some guys are taken as a flyer late (Tom Brady, Tony Romo, etc) and the light just goes on when the ball is snapped. These NFL coaches just cross their fingers.
Will Levis seems like an overrated joke to me, and he'll probably end up in the NFL hall of fame. As mentioned before, Josh Allen couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in college, and now he's incredibly accurate. I didn't think Lamar Jackson's game would translate as well as it has. Sometimes the system they are drafted in can help or hurt, or the coaches they are drafted by can help or hurt. I think a bunch of the busts over the years may have actually had decent careers had they gone to better teams with better coaches. The ones that are drafted high naturally go to garbage desperation teams with little talent. I still remember David Carr 20 years ago getting sacked literally ten times a game. Who can succeed in that?
If Patrick Mahomes had been drafted by the Browns, would he be the absolute superstar he is today? I wonder. Work ethic is certainly a huge part of it - the guys like J Russell and Vince Young who didn't want to work will never make it no matter how much talent they have.

You’re obviously related to Jeff George. Pretty sure you already admitted it in another thread. Maybe @NVGator can look it up.
Shame too. You were that “maybe 4th” guy I mentioned.

Love the kid. Tremendous athlete. Not an elite QB. I still think he does’nt know the difference between being injured and being hurt. Or maybe he is just fragile. As I said months ago, he may not make it through the season. Yeah the NFL will throw $$$$ at his potential. I bet he takes it after THIS season. Why would he stay?

This game just shows how far AR has to go to be a QB. He is like a RB playing QB. There is a lot of stupid in the NFL, so it is possible he get drafted too high. I would not touch AR in draft in less than the 3rd round, he just doesn't have it.
