Re: Senior Bowl
Quarterback Scouting?
Well, first things you look for his what he physically measures? Some of these things can be problematic, but overcome - Drew Brees' height for example... Second, is can he make all the throws consistently? If the out throw (intermediate distance to sideline) with zip (as to avoid pick-6) and the deep ball are not there forget it... But touch as it's referred also has to be there; and that encompasses not only lobs to a RB for a screen but all passes that arrive to the receiver optimally so they have advantage for YAC... Third, would be pocket presence and mobility, that symbiotic relationship with the offensive line to stay protected to allow for consistent throwing motion; being able to gash defenses upfield and keep them honest... Fourth, and this is where Senior Bowls and QB camps are of another benefit, how quickly do they process and adapt; most teams are successful on their initial drives and then defenses adapt... But how those QBs can counter-adapt and still have enough moves, throws, and maintain their composure can be gauged as the landscape of the game is constantly shifting underneath them... Fifth, and this is the other opportunity the Senior Bowls and QB camps afford, how quickly does the leadership qualities show where that QB steps up and takes charge of men he barely knows... A pet peeve where the NFL Combine falls short - every attendee should have time to interview with all 32 NFL franchises; with the financial resources available to the NFL, not having enough time is a BS excuse... Football is all these folks do. It is their careers, livelihood. If the combines need to be longer, or expand the regional combines, do it. The NFL can market those events and increase profits to offset costs... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Senior Bowl
The practice has been moved inside and is closed to the public. Heavy rain at practice. My apologies. Great info though ya'll.

The next day and Love was missing all over the field; yes, he has the athleticism but apparently not focus, and as we learned with Kenny Vaccaro, you can't take meds for ADD or other failure-to-focus ailments... |

If Andy didn't select him, he was coming to NO. Utah St was clearly outmatched vs LSU last year but you saw some NFL throws from JL. IMO Love could be a real possibility for us. Finding & drafting a franchise QB is so hard to do at the elite level. |
