which QB just won the SB?
What's his name, Tom Barely? - LOL
He's actually very good, even when not playing for the Patriots!

It seems to me that as long as a team is going to pass 50% of time or more, a QB who can analyze defenses, make calls to change a play at the line of scrimmage and face the rush and still throw accurately (a pocket passer) has the most important tools a QB can possess.
Being able to run effectively to escape the rush and then still deliver the pass and save the play is only the second most important quality a QB can have.
Being able to run effectively to save a play or score is in my mind the 3rd most important attribute a QB can have.
It's easy for a fan to remember one or two exceptionally heroic plays by a QB as opposed to appreciating and valuing consistently good play by a QB.
Knowing how well a QB's skill set will translate to the NFL where the opposition is tougher across the board is where the draft evaluators make all the difference. If a QB doesn't fit the kinds of playing that the coaching is delivering, then it makes no difference at all who the QB is and very little difference how "good" that QB is.
I love how Marino was so elusive in the pocket. He wasn't going to outrun anybody, but with a quick little shuffle step he made a lot of pass rushers whiff!Biggest misconception is that a qb has to be mobile. Dating back to modern football, maneuvering in the pocket has been a lost art.
I still have a big ? mark on Jackson. 2019 it looked like he was on his way up with a bullet....
To me, the jury is still out. I know the coaches made a deliberate, conscious decision to radically change the scheme his second year when he became a starter. That tells me they had little confidence he could run the offense Flacco had been running.
Remember our bet?Pocket passer went to the Superbowl and was the mvp.
You are so far off.........Ray = qb from the 70s in college and NFL. He is just not telling us.
Draft is coming up. I'll be the first one to give you the news.Remember our bet?
