Good post but I never understood this angle unless it only comes from one bucket: athleticism.

Because the other 95% that is required for being a successful QB at the NFL level, one never stops growing and developing or reaching his ceiling. Not even Brady at age 45. So these kinds of blanket statements, I never fully understood.

And even athletic QB's, this is their ceiling too usually...they aren't going to get too much stronger, faster, more nimble, more shifty, etc. than they are already at 20 years old and if so, that ceiling isn't going to be too much higher as that may inhibit their ability as a QB. Training staff aren't going to allow that.

We are back to the point in this circular conversation where arm strength and athleticism don't matter in the NFL for QBs.

And I think to myself.... What a wonderful wooorrrlllld

Pass protection. It matters. Still waiting for athleticism to transcend an OL.

Well you don't have to wait for athleticism to add a dimension to the position and make the QB more valuable as a playmaker.....because it's been true for decades now.

Replace an OLine? No.

Add a dimension to the offense? Yes.

And hey,...while we're addressing tired, washed out cliches,...let me also state that every great passer doesn't turn into a great QB,...and every great passer and runner doesn't turn into a great duel threat. I mean that should be obvious, but with posts like these to respond to, I guess it becomes necessary.

Not his best outing. But cam looked s**tty as well.

So much better than Lance. Not to mention Lance plus a first swap, 2 additional first and a second. Gah I get sick typing that

Perfect read from Mac Jones. The underneath corner in front of Zuber slid toward the boundary into a zone, and Jones immediately delivered the ball under the rotating safety. That window was only open for about a half second.

3 DBs?

No problem for Mac Jones 🚀

Gorgeous.

Ok I've seen enough. We picked the wrong qb.

Captain Checkdown final preseason total 7.44 y/a

Fields 5.6 y/a
Lance 6.7 y/a

Damn, that backshoulder throw with the pocket collapsing was nice.

He looks great

Uh oh.. the pats are gonna dominate for another 20 years now.

We won't know for sure for at least another year, but it's looking like Shannalynch made the wrong decision again.

Let see Mac start an actual game first.
