Ghost of

Reading Cooley's take on Maye and parts of it remind me of McCarthy. What I mean is that there's this sense I get that guys are saying Daniels is a fast processor and that everyone else in the top 4-5 is not (maybe they allow for Williams being a good processor.) But when I review tape, not just highlights but the all-throws/runs and then consider the metrics, I'm not getting it (not entirely.) Basically, everyone is inconsistent and will need work either on footwork or on processing to a certain area of the field.

I only keep receipts on people I know. As of now, I can find your comment on YouTube.

I will not stand for this erasure of the man who called Tom Brady and is resident QB expert. Me.

Most important thing I took from the jackets was that Penix looked like a football player and Daniels suit chest was definitely concave in nature. Very concerning.

Sorry as much as I loved Ryan as a player, and even at the beginning of his broadcast career he is very agenda driven now. I'll just leave it at that. It isn't that he's lying and I think JD is likely a nice guy but nice guys can still have character concerns compared to people who are less nice.

Well my question wasn't about whether Brady should have been better regarded (how did i get it right?) but if you had a chance at that kind of culture setting, smart, tough player do you grab him?

If you had a guy who was even 66.67 percent of Brady as culture setter, came from a healthy and excellent organizational culture, and was even 40 percent as successful as Brady, aren't you obligated to take that? And the guy is faster and more nimble and younger?

That NFL article mentioned that JJ took the S2 and did well. One coordinator said the rise isn't interviews or pro day but that coaches didn't get a chance to look at film until after the season. Scouts are looking at traits but not always looking like a coach would look at processing, leadership and command in a huddle. Not everything is good in it but I felt better about McCarthy from that section, mixed as it was as it went more into depth about strengths and criticisms.

It was like the McGinn article where the scout blamed mccarthy for a "bad pass" instead of the obvious tip from Dallas Turner.

Jay is the biggest football related reason I checked out entirely. Not even him as much as the fact that Dan totally went against his first few years and just kept incompetent people years past the point it was clear they should have been fired.

No one wants to talk about that piece from the nfl.com draft article?

JFC dude. Yeah the reason Jason Campbell didn't work out was the fans on a message board.

https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-draft-pro-execs-scouts-coaches-rank-and-evaluate-the-top-20-prospects-in-this-qb-class SocalSkins had it pegged from the beginning. This ya'lls franchise QB?! "At Arizona State, they couldn't get him out of there fast enough. It didn't matter if you talked to coaches, staff, teammates -- they were like, ‘Good riddance,' " a second AFC scout said. "You're pushing all your chips in on this guy. Obviously, Brian Kelly and those guys saw a different side of him. But when does the other side come out? When some real adversity strikes in the league and he's starting to get peppered and you've got people wanting to kick his ass, it'll be interesting"

Hamlet. Act 3, Scene 1.

At Michigan I've heard they called him Football Serpentor.

And what you might say with irony, I say with conviction: "What a piece of work is a McCarthy! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form, in moving, how express and admirable! In action, how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a god!"

So McCarthy is always in the building, is a football junkie, everyone loves him and he's lost 3 times since middle school, won a state title, and two national titles at two different levels. Oh and he had a fantastic shuttle time, it's obvious on tape that he can run and evade, uses his mobility to make plays downfield and threw 61 mph at the combine. What are we waiting for exactly? This is the kind of guy you build a whole program around. And he comes from a school that aside from a troubled Rich Rod/Hoke period, and his coach, who played QB in the NFL said he's the best to come out of Michigan.

Female clowns on the other hand, really rev your motor?

@Llevron You keep doing this like there's a possibility you're right and I think the only reason you're invested in that possibility is because of your feelings on the QB involved. And it's totally legit to say you don't think this will affect the pick itself. Or that you think the team and the agents will patch it up if need be. But to act like you know better than someone who just talked to you from a place of expertise in entertainment is some kind of ego, dude.

Yeah but usually, Rufus and others are funny when they do it.

No no no no. We're not going to skip over that SI article so quickly. Hoop, I want to know why you think that article said what it did. I posted two excerpts about Daniels that echo the same perceptions (and stats) about him voiced here and in that Chicago Bears blog. I also showed how the one scout talking about a pass sailing vs. Alabama was out of his damn gourd. So let's talk about what that article showed other than, yes, you can take away that he's seen as #2. But that was burying the lede.

Jesus, do these guys watch or read anything...more from the article that puts an end to whatever it is lol (it's a good article, but it brings up more of what people like Rufus, Consigliere and myself talk about with regard to "expertise") The QBs coach continued, “Last drive of the game against Alabama, the receiver [Roman] Wilson runs a deep cross, and J.J. has him open, but he overstrides and the ball sails on him. It’s gonna be a pick and Michigan’s gonna lose. The Alabama DB thinks he’s got it, and Wilson makes a ridiculous catch. And that’s an easy throw. _(stuff)___ like that, I worry about. What? LOL. I'm not sure he overstrode on that ball. But the ball did not sail it was tipped. The ball was tipped and Roman made a great catch. But the ball would have hit Roman if not for the tip. I think it was Dallas Turner that tipped it. A first round guy made a great play and another guy made another great play. Because the ball was thrown hard it kept going rather than end up as a devastating play (or hit).

More from that article. Notice the "over the middle of the field" (thus not just metrics, or he's totally just reading other people's stuff) and the pick and stick throwing. I keep hearing about processing but "moving too quickly" is not actually processing, a lot of younger QBs do that when they are trying to process and read but are hurrying due to anxiety about rush or timing: . “I saw discipline with his feet, an ability to distribute the ball and make good decisions. I knew he was an athlete, but when I flipped it on, I saw a quarterback who happens to make plays with his legs.” If there is a criticism in that realm, it came from the aforementioned AFC coordinator, who adds, “My concern is he doesn’t ever throw over the middle of the field; they’re mostly pick-and-stick throws. So does he see it? Is he processing it?” That said, his downfield accuracy, and throws to the sideline, show his talent as a passer.
