Is the mind an elite tool? Something only Kyle is privy too when scouting all these QB's. I could care less if my QB ran 4.3. Can he run the offense? That's the question.

Yes but most importantly a 6.88 on the three cones at the Combine.
And when you watch him play, it´s not his straight line speed that makes the difference, it´s his ability to react on the first steps and to move laterally around the pocket to buy some time.

Serious question, why do we really care about pro days? Don't real player evaluators watch film? Isn't film the most important aspect of the evaluation, followed by an investigation of who the person is? The person's make up? I watched Jones' pro day and his physical traits are underwhelming. I then watch some film breakdown videos and he appears to execute the offense as is intended, including making big time throws. I don't have a horse in this race but the obsession with the physical appearance and athleticism seems to be incredibly overrated. Do we want a guy who executes the offense, or a guy who can make plays with his feet? We have recency bias because of Mahomes' (and Wilson's) special ability to do both. But I want a guy who plays quarterback from the pocket. Any additional athletic skills are bonus in my opinion. Again, I am not saying Jones lack of physical talent is not risky, or not to be evaluated. It must be evaluated. I just don't know why evaluators truly care about the pro day when they have film to review, or why we as fans should discount Jones because he does not look as good as these other qbs in shorts and without defenders.

Mobility and pocket passing ability must both be evaluated.

To discount one or the other is ignoring everything that has happened in the past 2-3 years.

And no, I dont care that the greatest QB of all time Brady won a Superbowl recently. He is on his way out. There will never be another Tom Brady that plays exactly like him. The next great QB in the next 15-20 years will be a dual threat. Looks like its Mahomes for now.

Mahomes ran a 4.8

Still has escapabilty, ability to create outside pocket, and hard to forget that TD run in playoffs 2019 vs Titans. Can run and evade when he has to.

lmao the tweet has me cracking up

Better not be your only elite tool. Alex aced the Wonderlic too. Rosen had great processing speed, so did Bradford. You need the arm and legs to do what your brain tells them and the ability to actually pull it off. You can know where the right throw is, most pro QBs do, can you physically make it?

Based on the Super Bowl, he's just as fast running backwards as forwards.

JT O'Sullivan knew how to read defenses and where to go, he just didn't have the tools to get it done. Give me the tools and I'll make the offense fit.

If it's your only elite tool it best be Professor Xavier level talented.
I really like Mac Jones mental processing. I don't like how skinny his calves are. Prone to leg injuries. Was it the championship game where ran 10 yards or so without getting hit and hurt himself..He came up limping

JT O'Sullivan was awful as a pro. No arm and he was awful at reading D's. He washed out of the NFL with a 56% completion percentage with a low of 36.4% his final season on his way out of the league.
