But what about the fact that all the best QBs sat a year?

I would almost sit my rookie QB for a year just to get that good juju going. If you check that chart it's insane how many of the top qbs sat for at least a year. And Jordache love looks like he's going to be a member of the "sat for at least a year and became great" group

NFL offense is hard and it really seems to help guys processing to participate in practice and be mentored a little bit before setting off. the day 1 starters are not a happy group

For any prospect other than QB, sure.

For a QB. I extremely disagree. That position is too important that if you think someone has the "thing" to play it at the NFL level but does have some things they need to clean up and fix with bench time while a vet plays.

The rookie contract stuff is a cool bonus. But like what's more important is finding that dude.

Not to mention that by drafting him in the first vs drafting one in the second and later you get an extra year of cheap control.

People overate the rookie deal stuff. It’s good obviously but you can’t build your entire team around that idea. That only works in hindsight

The QB on a rookie deal poo poo is stuff the Bears are going through right now.

And it's been infuriating and a copout.

When people go on about resetting the QB contract and the value of a QB on a rookie deal all they are saying is that they don't think the current QB is worth paying, but trying to be nice and not wanting to say on wax that the current QB just hasn't been good enough to pay. Which is actually what's going on.

the one real red flag guy like that was trey lance who it was obvious needed to sit for multiple years and learn a lot, and importantly he did not do so. trey had to either play, be ready to play, or rehab from injury more often than anything else. not counting garbage time or maybe one game at most, if a first round qb sits more than one full season, his peers since 2000 are rivers, pennington, grossman, and rodgers. if you stretched it a little bit you can include jordan love. more than anything the circumstances that bring the idea to fruition almost never happen. there isn't much to say the sitting part is a red flag

Mahomes?

I guess Mahomes played a garbage time game, but that's within the spirit of sitting imo.

It's usually because Teams do not have the institutional constitution to actually realize it means you might need to sign a vet backup, and have 3 qb's on the roster, or to withstand fan and ownership pressure, if things aren't going well with the starter.

Also not playing in year one due to injury is a bit different.

Actually, adjusting it.

It's less that you have to be willing to sit them, it's more if you do start them, you have to have the leeway from management and ownership to be willing to not win, and let them make mistakes and find their limits. While continuing to drill in process over results. With QB's who need like mechanical adjustments or other things that they would get benefits from sitting and just reworking things.

I'm a little concerned about how much use he got in college. On the running back front, someone I've been looking at is Marshawn Lloyd from USC, I think he could be picked up in the 4th or 5th.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr94sngSmkc

He slips through contact in a way that reminds me of Aaron Jones. Obviously much less graceful than AJ. Decent enough catcher too.

If you watched USC Football at all this season or ask any USC fan, they’ll tell you he has ball security issues galore. Sometimes too careless and free with the ball in his hands.

The most valuable learning experience is real game time experience.

Joe Burrow did not need to sit a year. Nor did Herbert, nor did Peyton Manning, nor did Russell Wilson, etc.

And importantly, sitting probably did not help Jordan Love *that* much.

Jordan Love sucked at the start of the year and he got better as he gained real time real world experience.

The key is to make sure your coach and front office create a safe and growth oriented environment to foster the qb development.

Watched Isaiah Davis tape. He's just okay. Not particularly fast or agile, runs too high. Goes down instantly on contact. Has a nifty spin move. Not particularly good going down the middle kinda just runs forward without a lot of shiftiness or threat to break out. He's patient though so that's good. Definitely a plus blocker since they run a ton out of shotgun and have those designed QB runs that he gets out in front of. I can definitely forsee him sticking on a team and frustrating everyone with lovely runs while a better back on the roster sits because they cant block as well.

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

Love sat because they wanted to change his mechanics (and also because Rodgers started playing really well again). If there’s some specific mechanical thing that you want to fix then letting a guy sit makes sense because you just can’t do that when a guy is playing every week, they’re going to revert to old habits under pressure.

If you’re just sitting them for some nebulous reason like “they’ll learn by sitting and watching” then I think you’re hindering their development because the best way to learn is to play.

I don't think I watched a single game of Texas all year, but I keep getting distracted watching the film because what the hell is anyone doing on that defense. Why do you keep lining up Murphy as 0/1 tech and Sweat as a 3 tech? Why does Murphy leave his feat to jump a gap at the snap??? Yeah, he gets away with it sometimes but you are gonna end up on the ground in the NFL. What the hell are the linebackers doing ever?

To that point, Love was noticeably playing very stiffly at the beginning of the season (and preseason) and loosened up a lot as the season went on as he got more accustomed to playing with his revamped mechanics at NFL speed.

Love just needed snaps. So did the rest of the offense. But once that happened, everything started to click. Love’s footwork needed help (still does) but going forward, he’ll be great.

Then in 2019, he lost all but one of his starting OLine, his two excellent RB's, all his WR's except one, his OC, and his HC.
