Will Howard

Careful or you will confuse him

 

And some of them flamed out Klubnik, Nussmeier, and Allar injuries played a part too.

 

You tell me.

Even if the game was a blowout they couldn't just put Howard in to get some snaps, he was the emergency third QB which means he could only play if the other two got injured.

 

And again it was handled correctly

You will learn in time

Ask mom for more iPad time to do research

 

Don’t confuse @Joel Buchsbaum with facts it’s not his strong point

 

Teams can technically dress three QBs as part of their 48-player roster. Understand? This is separate from the emergency QB rule.





Don’t take JEH’s advice as he likes to bait people.

 

@Hanratty#5 just posted that above

Do you have everyone ignore

 

And you still don’t get it

 

Information is good. When I evaluate a player, most of the information is something you learn from watching them play. Watching film of that player. Stop watches. Evaluating the talent they play with. The talent they play against. The offensive systems they play in and the coaching they get. No matter how much data you get, there are always things you can't learn unless you talk to people and coaches, interviewing the players themselves, and trusting what you see them do in big moments in games.

There are hundreds of factors that were never given a numeric value and fed into a computer, but were evaluated on what you can see and graded. How do they handle pressure? Can they make off-platform throws? Can they make layered throws with the proper pace and place the ball over the linebackers and in front of the safeties? Do they have leadership qualities? Can they move in the pocket and keep their eyes downfield? Can they throw with anticipation? And on and on and on.

So, as I said in my earlier post. More information is good. The more the better. It's just hard to use when you don't have all the variables and understand the way the data is gathered and under what circumstances and conditions. Context is everything. The people that gather this information and use it need to be fluent in how it is deciphered and applied to evaluating talent.

All the same stuff was and is still done by many scouts and evaluators with their eyes and watching a ton of film. It just comes more from what your eyes tell you instead of the pure analytics that you post here. All the data is great, but without the context some of it is like reading a foreign language. When the data and the people that understand that data also have vast football knowledge, it is a tool that can help identify things that are very difficult to do manually.

We're in the digital age, and the people that do the best job of combining the pure analytics with the evaluation of the pure human aspects of quarterbacks will have the best chance of successfully identifying who can play at the NFL level and who can't.
