Yeah I said that thing about a rookie in another quote. There might be something to it. That rookies might not develop as quickly under FR. Or It could be coincidence but for Frank's 1st 4 years here 4 different QBs had their best year or their best year in years year. There could be other factors, but it's an unlikely series of happy accidents if that's the case. -
I agree with all of this. But it seems like CJ's success would call into question the legitimacy of the S2 test, not validate it. I think there's some value in the cognitive stuff, but I also think it gets overblown during draft season. It's just a piece of the puzzle. It's also possible that the leaked scores were inaccurate or incomplete, in which case we don't really know anything... I'm not arguing that he can continue to take abuse, and it will be fine. I'm saying some guys just have to learn their lessons, and Richardson's competitive spirit probably requires him to learn those lessons directly. End of the day, either he makes some adjustments and protects himself, or he continues throwing his body around and will pay for it. But unlike previous coaching staffs, I think what Steichen is doing can help reduce some of the physical punishment within the course of the game. And hopefully, with time, Richardson gets better at choosing when to take risks and when to protect himself. I'm just not ready to freak out because he got a quick, rude welcome to the NFL. I'll wait and see how he applies what he's learned so far. It was good to see some slides last week, but I want to see him strike the right balance over the course of the season. -
doubt we see him this week, maybe next on a limited snap count -
Sometimes you just get stuck in a logic loop... I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the premise of the article, but you're drawing some faulty conclusions. For example, the idea that if a QB has to create off structure it must mean the play call was bad is your own interpretation, and it seems to be rooted in some bias itself. There can be a lot of reasons for a QB to be called on to make a play outside of the structure of the play call -- poor protection, receivers not coming open, disguised coverages, etc. That's not specific to the Panthers offense, it's a general truth. But if you have underwhelming OL and receiver play, like the Panthers, the QB is going to have to handle some pressure and improvise. That's not necessarily an indication that the play call was bad. And that's not what the article is saying, either. They're saying Bryce Young is good at improvising, which might help make up for the OL and WR shortcomings, but Reich's play calling is restricting Young's ability to improvise. They use screen plays as an example. There's little room for improvisation, a screen is usually a single option pass play, and if it isn't working, the QB just has to get rid of the ball. The Panthers called 11 screen passes in the last game, with little success (eight of them to the right side). That's 28% of their called pass plays (including sacks and scrambles), where the QB is being told what to do with the ball before the play even starts. If you have a QB who can't improvise and doesn't handle pressure well, then that would make sense. Call screens for Jacoby Brissett all game long. But if your QB can actually create, maybe don't limit him that much. Or maybe call some more modern screen RPO concepts, which Reich isn't using. Also, it's very possible that Bienemy and Hackett are bad play callers. Let's see if either of them can have any success without their star QBs. But no, Rodgers and Mahomes being good off structure isn't evidence that the OCs are bad play callers. You've just decided to frame the conversation that way.
