A lot of QB’s have been crushed doing this, were they all guys every “expert” missed on, or is there a better way to bring kids from college to the NFL at the position.

You may have skipped the first part where I said don't put him unless he is ready. I agree, putting him just because he is the first rd pick can be the worst thing for him. But I do believe that in general once you determine he is ready, let him stay. Of course there are always situations. If he is getting completely destroyed and it's destroying his confidence then you sit him a game or a half or a few plays. My major point in the first response - even if I did not make it very well - is there is no single right path. Each guy is different. It's up to coaching staff to bring him along in the way it's best for him. Sit him, play him, play him then sit him - what ever is best for him and the team long term.

RandyHolt Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 We have all seen good QBs subbed out for wildcat. Sure wildcat has kind of come and gone, but switching QBs doesn't have to be THE plan for every game. In fact, don't even game plan for it. If your QB is sucking up the joint, try the backup for a series. It's basically a foreign concept, though. Just like a coach stubbornly sticks to his game plan in the face of it being blown up for all to see, he sticks with his QB. I think every single fan here has wanted to see the backup QB get a series / some reps at one point or another, without it being a permanent switch.

NickyJ Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 To me, the "flavor of the drive" approach is the worst suggestion yet. If it worked, someone would have made it stick in the past 50 years. Instead, it completely destroys any progress the offense as a whole gains when they get into a rhythm, and it teaches the QBs to play scared. Scared to make any dangerous plays whatsoever that could end in them getting benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching QBs will kill any level of rhythm on Offense as a whole. I dont think anyone is arguing that if Haskins is not ready dont start him, but once you start him (because O coaches believe he has full ability to lead the O and knows the playbook) leave him in and let him get his lumps.

You dont really know the reason a guy fizzled out as a qb of the NFL. Its not like every highly drafted college QB has what it takes to be a good NFL QB. It obviously doesn't help to start for a team that has terrible oline and coaching, but NFL is designed to mostly have talent parity between teams. 1. some guys have the physical tools, but not the mental 2. some have mental but lack physical tools 3. some have both - and these players should be able to succeed no matter what. If they haven't, then they probably fall in to 1 or 2 above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Are any of the major college programs actively switching out QBs? It just seems like a waste to only play 1 guy for 4 straight years, solely because he is 1% better than the backup. I no longer hold what happens in the pros as the sacred bible of how things should be done. Concepts from college are infiltrating the pros more and more each year. QBs getting wrecked by dumbass stubborn OCs for decades has opened my eyes, by (all of us) witnessing first hand the era of young QBs now being allowed to run plays to their strengths. Is a consistent offensive lineup, what wins games offensively? We sure see lots of subs on offense, which slows down the game and kills rhythm. A consistent 11 makes no provision for the inevitable injuries. I think an OC using his QB to his strengths > the same 11 personnel for every snap. I feel like deception, and doing the unexpected, deserve a seat at the table somewhere in the 'how offenses win' discussion. Being unorthodox, and unpredictable. A TE throwing a pass to a QB.... doesn't have to be reserved for 1 play a year. Yet if you said Burton was going to be a QB, and Foles a WR, old school NFLers head would explode. I'll say it again, if the plan is to shelve Haskins all year, I still want him to be on the field for the occasional curve ball at the D, and to include him in the game plan.

dyst Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I hate the discussion on his mobility. Tom Brady, Ben Roethlishberger, Eli Manning and Payton Manning. These are the current QBs who gone to and won multiple SuperBowls. Don’t need Vick, Russel Wilson or Aaron Rodgers. Just need him to have spatial awareness and move in the pocket.
