Hence the dbag getup

My Dad was a tenured professor at UCLA so I detest USC and everything they stand for so I sympathize, but lazy takes are never ok in this thread.

Other than the “slow” part which isn’t even true, none of that has anything to do with his traits as a player.

I regrettably haven't really had time to follow this thread this year so I can only assume I've missed all the Drake London talk, but I've been reading a lot of kinda lazy takes that he's just a jump ball receiver that can't separate. There is so much more to his game that people are missing for some reason, and yeah he's not someone that's going to pop in and out of breaks like the OSU kids, but he can do a variety of things to mitigate. First and foremost, he's the best stacker in the class by a mile, and he can do it at the top of intermediate and deep routes, as well as right off the snap in bump and run because of his footwork. He's not really a speed variance guy, but he's fluid and can change direction in higher gears, which is another mitigating factor to "can't separate". He's also pretty crafty with his body language and again thanks to his footwork he can throw off coverage by how suddenly he can throttle and sink his hips. He's not elusive after the catch, but he runs with a purpose and has the wiry strength to be break tackles. (Watch his TD vs UCLA) There was a 2-3 game stretch last season where we were strolling up and down the field but didn't put any points on the board because Thomas was out. London is a perfect remedy for those issues, and who I'm keeping my fingers crossed for.

Apologies everyone life got in the way. Not missed a pick since I started doing this but I have too much on my plate, so if someone can take the 49ers I think that’s best.

As a natural reaction to the fact that it’s easier to play QB and much to our dismay as we’ve found out this season it has become consequently easier for offenses to scheme around the pass rush. This makes the Bengals ineptness in that area all the more impressive, but they were in the Super Bowl and they have the first three items on that list.

No it actually is a fact that Kyler Murray will not be traded. Completely different scenario than Russ or Aaron Rodgers.

Murray is angling for the big contract between years 3-4. If he was on your list, throw out the list and take a break from list making.

Not lobbying for this, but if the desire is for a QB prospect of Burrow’s caliber, I think there’s at least a discussion to be had about Bryce Young and CJ Stroud. We have some tradable assets on the D-line next off season (assuming a trade up is necessary) and it would allow us to strengthen the roster with this year’s draft to add to some healthy cap room that would soften the blow of losing our 2024 first round pick. This means of course that we have to punt on the position this year.

IMO that’s because it’s just easier to play QB now a days. You can legitimately go up and down the field manufacturing throws with an athletic QB and one or two receivers that can win 1on1.

Those teams quite a few hall of famers (inducted or otherwise) all over the place. Going on one run to a Super Bowl with an average QB is hard enough, but nobody will ever again put together a team capable of being that good for a decade with whoever at QB. If you look at some of the outlying teams over the years, are the odds of being able to put together defenses that are dominant year in year our or finding a RB like Derrick Henry that much higher than landing a franchise QB? Absolutely not. It’s the inability to develop that’s killed us, not identifying and drafting a high level QB.

You'll find a franchise QB before you find another Deebo/Derrick Henry, and good luck emulating what the 49ers are doing. Jimmy G's trade at the time it was made was not a random punt on a journeyman vet, and even with Derrick Henry, the Titans are not winning a Super Bowl with Ryan Tannehill, because you can't put the game on his shoulders in the playoffs. As has been pointed out, it's not a choice between stacking the roster and finding a franchise QB.

Unsustainable outlier, plus Foles isn't in the Super Bowl without Carson Wentz in superman mode until the injury, and Tom Brady ended up in the Super Bowl on the other side. Outliers always beg to differ but in the long run they don't differ at all.

Curl and Kyle Hamilton’s games complement each other…just saying.

If Kirk didn't have the bravado of Leslie Jordan he really would be one of the best QBs in the league.

Quoted wrong post

Sometimes RPO is used to manufacture completions for QBs when they’re struggling going through possessions. Probably wasn’t necessary when he was in college considering he was already doing ok with his progressions in the playoffs last year.

I’m not sure it’s happening anytime soon. There’s no way he’s the only one fighting tooth and nail to keep the Pandora’s box sealed. Jerry Richardson and Donald Sterling did something that made only them to look like pond scum so nobody was going down with them.

And oddly enough he wants success on the field too but he’s an overgrown toddler with a complex that’s too self deluded and pathetic to contemplate the idea he has no clue what he’s doing. Just a walking nausea inducement of a human being.

Watch the throws at 0:26, 2:24, 3:30, 5:25, 6:57 and 7:46. The throw where he rolls to his left is especially impressive, but the throwing motion and release is smooth and sudden, especially considering those are off script throws rather than manufactured throws. If Pickett’s arm was a little bit stronger they’d be neck and neck. I really like the progression in Corral’s game from last season to this season. His feet were an eye sore and that as well as decision making is where he’s made his biggest jump, but there were still moments this season where he’s looked unpolished, and needed quite a few manufactured throws. If I had to bet Id still say Corral is the first QB off the board because you can see he’s a worker when you put his 20 and 21 film side by side and he has all the physical tools, but Pickett is a much better prospect than he gets credit for. The intangibles and moxy are right there with him too.

Why would that concern a defensive coach? His accuracy is more than decent IMO and while he doesn’t have Corrals arm he’s actually better throwing on the run. I don’t know if he has a baseball background but on his highlight reels there are some throws where it looks like that’s the case. All said and done he might be the first QB off the board.

At least now we can tell our ladies we know what it feels like to get mansplained.

We understand the concepts of play calling and opposition scouting. The idea that only the OC knows if open receivers were missed is still wrong.

You’re not the only person to have coached in here and that’s some impressive Simone Biles level mental gymnastics. I (let alone posters who have much more experience coaching and evaluating than me) could watch the all-22 and the route concepts and know if any open receivers were missed. Also you instruct QBs to make read X if the defense is doing Y, not make this read no matter what. Just curious though if you say only the OC knows if open receivers were missed, how do you know they weren’t?

How is the receiver that bailed TH out on multiple occasions and routinely makes high degree of difficulty under scrutiny now? If it weren't for McLaurin we're having a different conversation in this thread
