Everybody knows two opposing forces just cancel each other out. It'll be fiiiiine. jk Keim has said before that he knew the Washington org was high on Jayden's ability to process. Now we can put Quinn's name specifically to that idea, but there could be others around the building as well. I wouldn't be surprised, his ability to read always came off the tape for me, especially so since he marries his mechanics w/ it. Make it way easier for the layman to follow. Adding on to your line of thinking, Keim has also hit on the idea that college players don't face the same level of defensive schemes b/c of the ocean of team diversity. He has specifically focused on the idea that Maye did not have to face a lot of defenses where he had to deal w/ teams adjusting their D post snap, while that was a constant for teams Jayden played. Interesting indeed.

Nope, same definition of pressure. Those were the numbers provided by PFF for plays vs pressure, not vs blitz. It was the result of passes thrown when defenders were close. Obviously, they were pretty good. JD has demonstrated a great ability to dissect a D from the pocket vs pressure. Especially when compared to the other top prospects who noticeably struggled in the same department. What JD has not shown is a strong enough tendency to pass if he breaks said pocket. He ran like 90% of the time in those situations. He will have to throw more often in the NFL rather than tucking it when he does bail. And beyond that even on the plays where he chose to keep it himself, its not like he didn't murder-ize teams w/ his legs vs pressure, its more of a case of what is a good call in college not being as much of one in the NFL. We know directly from the horses mouths that in college, he was instructed by his coaches to run. We have posters here who broke down film that came away with the conclusion that the designed "Hot" read for a play was Jayden's legs by design. At the next level you want him throwing more passes. We will have to see if he can do that at a higher clip. As I said he did not do it a lot so I can't just blindly award him the ability. But all that said, I like Jayden's play vs pressure a lot more than the other top prospects overall. He's got stuff to work on, but who doesn't

Jacoby did not play a lot, but he took zero sacks. and if your so afraid of a QB that you have to demolish your own defensive identity to that extent then the battle is already halfway won. I've changed your defensive philosophy away from whatever it was you do best to something your likely not as good at. Its hard enough to succeed in the NFL doing what you do best. Furthermore vs pressure dude had a 124 NFL passer rating, threw no pics, had an 11% big time throw rate w/ an 82 PFF Offensive grade last year. Giving him easy reads is like leading lambs to the slaughter.

Pretty much. Pro QBs can't even determine correct order of operations on film. We don't know what the player is instructed to do. Kurt Warner hits this all the time in his breakdowns "That's not how I would read it, but that may be what he was told to do" What I can say is that if a QB looks at a guy, notices he is covered and then subsequently rifles thru following progressions until he finds someone open, that is generally a good thing. If a QB takes forever to move thru his progressions, that is a bad thing. If a QB is throwing to guys who are not open, without making multiple reads, that a very bad thing. There is even value in hitting your first read if hes open. If your going out there pre-snap and figuring out that option "X" is gonna be open because they are likely playing "Y" defense, good on you. U gotta get that prospect in a film room, ask him what he saw and why he did what he did on any given play, and we simply are not privy to that info.
