More than this he just became a headcase later on. Insert that picture of 5 receivers being open here and imagine rookie RG3 not throwing to one of the deep guys.

Whether that's his dad's fault, or Snyder, or Shanahan after he started his campaign against RG3, or whatever I have no clue.

He was never the most aware QB but as long as he had his mobility he didn't need it.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Kaepernick just needs a strong O-Line and carte blanche to run when he wants to.

He turned into a football retard when both of these things changed in SF.

If it is said a team has to have really good WRs and a really good oline, for a QB to suddenly become good, then you don't have much of a QB.

There was an article a couple of days ago that quoted a league exec that said teams won't sign Kaep because "they hate him" for the protests or they don't personally care about the protests but don't want to deal with A DISTRACTION so they won't sign him

yeah, I named two. This league has employed multiple DUI homicide dudes, plenty of DV guys and at least one or two suspected murderers, if Kap was good enough he'd have been signed day one. He'll end up a back up somewhere, though.

Rg3 didn't fail because his system doesn't work he failed because his knee got destroyed making it impossible for him to do his system.

Kap can still contribute but you do have to build with him in mind which is daunting but for lovely teams it's worth a shot.


He got destroyed a lot because he's made of glass and not a pocket passer.

Sure but does it hurt to have these things for a good QB? Further, Good QBs with bad WRs are a philly tradition and the teams that support their qbs have had more success.

"He told me that he was not there to work, that he was a fan," Palafox said. "And that he had asked for vacation from work to spend it at Super Bowl week, and he had attended more than 20 of them."

Velazquez and Palafox both said Ortega was carrying a bag containing a past Super Bowl jersey worn by Warner and an Emmitt Smith book. Warner was named MVP at the 2000 Super Bowl.

"He showed me Warner's jersey with his signature and told me a story about how Warner was surprised that he was in possession of the item," Palafox said. "He said he planned to gather interest from Warner to sell him the jersey for $8,000."

...

Ortega was also seen at Super Bowl auctions during the week of the big game. Mexican media have reported that Ortega's basement was full of NFL and other sports memorabilia.

Dude has probably been stealing merch for decades lol.

quote:

Dear Fans,

Here at the NFL, we have a relentless drive to improve—particularly when it comes to the way fans experience our game.

In order to understand how we might deliver a better and more exciting entertainment experience for you, we embarked on a specific project before the start of the 2016 season to gather feedback about the in-stadium and live NFL game viewing experience.

Consistently, we heard from fans that we can improve in two key areas: the flow and pace of the game, and commercialization and the number of unnecessary disruptions to the game on the field.

Today, I want to tell you about some of the ways we are working to address that.

On the football side, there are a number of changes we are making to the mechanics and rules of the game to maintain excitement and also improve the consistency of our officiating.

For example, next week clubs will vote on a change to centralize replay reviews. Instead of a fixed sideline monitor, we will bring a tablet to the Referee who can review the play in consultation with our officiating headquarters in New York, which has the final decision. This should improve consistency and accuracy of decisions and help speed up the process.

Regarding game timing, we're going to institute a play clock following the extra point when television does not take a break, and we're considering instituting a play clock after a touchdown. We're also going to standardize the starting of the clock after a runner goes out-of-bounds, and standardize halftime lengths in all games, so we return to the action as quickly as possible. Those are just a few of the elements we are working on to improve the pace of our game.

Together with our broadcast partners, we will be working to meaningfully reduce down time and the frequency of commercial breaks in our game. We will also be giving our broadcast partners increased flexibility to avoid untimely breaks in the action. For example, we know how annoying it is when we come back from a commercial break, kick off, and then cut to a commercial again. I hate that too. Our goal is to eliminate it.

We also know that you feel there are too many elements in the broadcast that aren't relevant to the play on the field. With our partners, we will be looking to instead focus on content that is most complementary and compelling to you–whether that is analysis, highlights or stories about our players.

All of these changes are meant to give you more of what you want: a competitive game with fewer interruptions and distractions from the action.

There is much more work to do in the coming seasons as we continue to listen and learn. But these positive changes are intended to create a better experience for you, our fans.

We hope that you will continue to give us feedback on how we can improve.

Thank you for all that you do for our players, our teams and our game.

It's been that way in the NHL for a while. There's an office in Toronto with tons of screens. Here's an older article about that setup. http://m.startribune.com/nhl-s-situation-room-doesn-t-miss-anything-anywhere/298086991/

I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just some QB that I used to know
I always thought the part of the replay that takes the longest is spotting the ball and getting down and distance correct, regardless of the call. Like if its overturned, they have to look where they were at. The only kind of review this would speed up is catch/no-catch.

I think a bunch of dudes standing in front of a wall of screens with replays from every angle are better equipped to deal with reviewing plays than one dude in a little booth on the sidelines.

This is the mechanism they use to auto review turnovers and touchdowns and it runs smoothly.
