Kyle has always said the problem with athletic quarterbacks is that all their life, they've been the best athlete on the field. He just thinks it's very hard to get a guy like that to consistently stay in the pocket and find the solution there.
Do we know Kyle loves Cousins? He ran a 4.84, to Jones' 4.79. (Oh, and Garoppolo's 4.97).
Kyle believes he provides solutions for almost all situations. Of course defenses will win some plays, no matter what your style of play, but he values toughness by a quarterback standing in and getting rid of the ball in the best way possible, either down field, or to an outlet, or just throwing it away. Sometimes just taking a sack is the best solution, no matter how athletic you are (or if you're trying to run).
Mac Jones is acknowledged by all to be very smart, who can read defenses very well both pre and post snap, who is superlative at recognizing a progression at lightning speed, is very accurate with the ball on deep, intermediate, and short passes, who consistently places the ball to throw his guy open and maximize RAC, and can understand and apply a complex offensive scheme and can quickly make the appropriate decisions depending on the defenses reaction, and who really Never makes WTF plays, allowing him to trust his quarterback and play aggressively. (That will be different). He's the Only guy Kyle Knows can keep up with him mentally and stay true to his offensive plan. This guy was tailor made for Kyle.
Way too much is made of his supposed lack of athleticism. I previously showed line by line his 40 time is faster than 76 percent of all Super Bowl winners this century.
IMO, it's going to be Jones, and for the first time, Kyle will be comfortable using his whole offense. Kyle is our ticket to winning Super Bowls, not Super Man. And we will.
Kyle has also lost two SBs because either his QB wasn't athletic enough or the other QB he played was athletic enough to extend plays when the offense couldn't execute. That s**t matters.
He watch Allen piss pound him and said himself it didn't matter what they did as far as scheme went, they simply couldn't defend him...He's has issues vs QBs that can move and actually help the HC. We've had no problem beating in the pocket QBs for the most part.
if anything he's sounds like an arrogant HC who thinks his scheme will beat everyone...even Andy Reid changed his tune on that. He doesn't see who's actually been beating him and applying that to his offense.
A 40 time at a pro day doesn't mean s**t....we all watch the games, he's not laterally quick and can not make plays off script, even Cosell said this much.
his arm talent is subpar and the offensive scheme isn't gonna change at all from Jimmy. We will literally be worse as a team because gave up yrs of talent for him.
disgusting
