Footwork and mechanics? Over-rated!

[quote=mooby;846428]Footwork and mechanics? Over-rated![/quote]

McNabb has a better QB rating than Kevin Kolb, Andy Dalton, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Josh Freeman and Rex Grossman. Phillip Rivers does not have good mechanics either, it is overrated in my opinion as well.

[quote=mooby;846271]Dammit. And we have a perfectly good Stallworth for sale. Also, I feel like it should be obvious by now that Derrick Mason was the guy who bad mouthed Brian Schottenheimer.[/quote]

I don't really think Mason cares.

He's pretty terrible on the run, only completing 20% outside the pocket.

Rivers just has an ugly-looking motion. That does not mean his mechanics are actually [I]bad[/I]. However, throwing wormkillers means something is screwed up with his throwing base.

McNabb has always thrown worm killers. If anyone signs him they should have saw that on film. As a Redskins fan I have saw this many of times while he played for the Eagles over the years. Anyone who signs McNabb not knowing this is either lying or they have not done their homework.

I was not talking about whether or not it is known he throws worm-killers. The matter is [I]why[/I] he throws them. This requires examining all elements involved in throwing a football, aka his mechanics.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

That is my point, if you know he throws worm killers and you do not want a QB that throws worm killers then do not sign him. Nobody wants to hear coaches whining about stuff like that.

You're assuming that football players are immutable in their physical attributes and thus come package "as-is" right from the get-go.

The whole point of coaching is to teach players techniques and habits that make them play better. No QB is [I]unable[/I] to make [I]slight [/I]tweaks to how he throws the football. It is only a matter of [I]willingness[/I]. If a player isn't willing to follow [I]sound[/I] coaching, then he is uncoachable.[I] No one [/I]thought Donovan McNabb of as an uncoachable player. THAT is why coaches are dissatified with him. They try to do their job, and he doesn't want to listen.

This whole thing is making McNabb look like a Jack Ass in my opinion. His team is once again not meeting expectations and he is refusing to take any responsibility for it or make any changes to his game.

No kidding. That fine should have been quite large.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Only one offensive lineman? You have to be kidding me. I agree with the DL guys, the linebackers, and the safeties being on that list. And I have no doubt that Hines Ward is a tough sunabicsh . But top 10? They did get the top spot right though with James Harrison.

I thought there were three of them: Kreutz, Incognito, and Dahl. Yeah I don't get the whole Ward pick, especially since the dude looks like he's always smiling. I think Harrison should not get the top spot since he's such cry baby.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

The smiling bit is a big facade(did I use that right). Ward is a dirty and mean SOB. He is late on all his "blocks" and he definitely is the jerk starting fights.

Yep. Ward definitely has earned his spot on this list. He's blindsided many players and rung their bell.

[quote=Chico23231;846187]With all the QB talent in next years draft, i wouldnt have a problem drafting 2 QB next year. Hey like Shanny says, competition[/quote]

We still don't know for sure if Barkley and Jones will be coming out next year and Luck will not be available for us in any realistic capacity. That basically leaves Folles as the only viable first round prospect that would be available to us. Moore I'm seeing more and more is going to be graded out as a late 2nd to 3rd day pick. Brandon Weenum is interesting in the sense that John Beck is interesting (he'll be a 28 year old rookie). However he's currently projected as a late 2nd to 3rd day pick as well.

After which we will all be talking, as we do every year about how great next years class will be. For better (Gabbert) or worse (Newton).

Never mind then. I don't know for some reason I mistaked Incognito with Igor. Didn't see Kreutz either until I managed to find the actual freaking link.

Really? Haha. He could have just asked the question in post #1. I just can't talk McNabb anymore. But after reading his thread question, I suddenly really appreciate Grossman. I guess I mentally blocked out how bad DM5 was here.

Glad he's not our prob anymore.

Anyway on to current things, I'm really getting pumped about the Skins/Eagles game. HTTR!

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
 

Injury report as of today.

I really want Armstrong in this game to help Grossman. I think Torain and Helu can bring it all day long without Hightower, so Im not to concerned about him, I'd Rather he come back 100% next week if necessary. If we go lacking all 4, I think we are still OK.

Yeah Lloyd has been on the block for a while. Broncos were just waiting for some other guys to get healthy.

[quote=Dirtbag59;846666]What's the catch? 80% accuracy? Is he in some inflated stat system? This guy seems to good to be true.[/quote]He plays in a spread, but he's a pass first guy. From what I've read, he's very bright, and improving year-over-year. Watched some of Baylor/TCU and he elevates his team. Outside of TCU not much competition so far, but we'll find out a lot about him over the next two weeks against A & M / Ok St. He also has games against OU and Texas left. If he plays strong the next two weeks, he's a top 10 pick. Mel has him at # 19 on the Big Board right now.

Glad that our starting DLine now is not the same as in that game, and even so, if you watch it, you can see where the improvements will directly impact how that game went. Makes me wonder how much of the off-season Defensive pickups were directly related to that youtube clip!
