I don't follow college much and don't pay attention to the prospects until close to the draft.    Early on I fell in line with the talk of it being a terrible draft class for QBs. Terrible y

The Giants offered a haul and the Titans quit even listening. The NFL decision makers know.   I also think it's pretty funny it actually took a few miracles for the Titans to fall into the #

Mahomes played at Texas Tech. Allen played at Wyoming. Level of competition isn't as important as traits that translate to the pro game.

I'm probably around 84% but I feel like I'm regressing into intelligence. Pretty fucking worried about it, actually.

Nope.  Not a problem for me buddy....but acting like all of us have to fawn over some you tube clips from college for a player is just dumb but 99% of your posts are dumb.....

 

You'd think some of you perennial retards would wait to see what he does on the NFL level before crowning him....because while there are a lot of things to love about the kid, saying he needs to fix his mechanics, ball placement accuracy, and decision making are red flag issues for NFL QB's.  All of the failed QB's they drafted that you jizzed over had these same issues.

You are here:

 

TRINITY (V.O.) Don't be ridiculous.

CYPHER (V.O.) We're going to kill him. Do you understand that? He's going to die just like the others.

TRINITY (V.O.) Morpheus believes he is the One. 

CYPHER (V.O.) Do you?

TRINITY (V.O.) I... it doesn't matter what I believe.

CYPHER (V.O.) You don't, do you?

Bud is just an old (not even really that old and likely a bit on the spectrum like probably half the board) dude  who is tired of being hurt so he doesnt get excited each offseason. He doesnt think anyone should ever be excited or optimistic - it's a foolish youthful thing.

 

 He rarely goes to bat for any player and thats only after they have produced. But it also gives him the ability to bash people who were wrong about a player. Hey, if you never get excited then you cant be let down or made fun of for being wrong!

I guess I don't get the idea of being hurt because some player or team didn't win a game or championship.  That said, the over the top stuff, usually by the same people and especially with drafted QB's, is just stupid.  The vast majority of the main posters are in their 30's, 40's, and 50's......Like we should expect Ward to be good for 14-17 more points per game or Ward's floor is peak Tannehill - these are things that have been said.

 

I've said there are legit reasons to be excited for what Ward could become. He can throw with anticipation, has off the charts leadership and work ethic, NFL plus arm. 

 

There's also legit reasons to be concerned that he won't be able to fix or curtail sloppy mechanics that impact accuracy and some of his decision making.....Likely why he wasn't graded as high as some other #1 overall picks in draft board season.

 

On top of it, we all know the surrounding cast is a work in progress so they are an injury away from multiple vital positions from being awful again and even if healthy odds are they won't be good.

He just rides the fence until he can't be wrong for getting off. He's kinda like the Waffle House index around here

By far the best video I've seen of him. The first ten minutes were exactly what I noticed when watching film. He is excellent reading defenses presnap and post snap and finding what is the actual first read on the play based on the coverage. He isn't Peyton Manning at it but fair to say he crushes Caleb Williams in this area. It is what excites me the most about him. He's got some Drew Brees in him and he scrambles to buy time similar to Mahomes. He isn't even close to being finished growing as a QB.

It's the reason to be excited.  The segment on his sloppy mechanics that make his accuracy scattershot at times of course is the reason for some concern and so is the segment spent on him making poor reads and late throws.  He'll have to fix those things if he is going to be a top tier QB.

Fair and fully agree...the fact is he needs to tighten up his game. When plays break down especially early in the game like we saw against Cal you simply have to throw the ball away and punt. It sucks but he has to learn it. It is the only flaw I saw in his mentality (not his overall game just game understanding). Hero ball shit has its place, but not often in the first half of games and certainly not on anything other than 3rd down. His mechanics are sloppy, but someone said the other day he took to coaching and fixing that in the off-season. 

 

 

I legit feel like we hit a diamond here. If I have cursed him my apologies my White Collar friend!
